I have a son that is highly allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish and eggs. He ended up in the ER before he turned a year old from eating Barilla pasta and organic chicken broth. There was no indication on the package that the pasta may have been cross contaminated, but I learned my lesson!
Because he isn't allergic to Kraft Macaroni and Cheese pasta, I use that for everything! He loves it so much...so I use that pasta in noodle soup, in baked ziti, with spaghetti and meatballs...so now he doesn't feel left out when the kids in his preschool class are eating pasta, since I always make what the kids are eating for hot lunch...so he hasn't noticed a difference (yet) :-)
Just thought I'd share, since I know there is no perfect boxed brand of pasta...and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese pasta works for us!

The Barilla packages in my supermarket are clearly labeled for egg cross-contamination. They were not always labeled as such but have been so for at least the past 3 to 4 years.
