Title: Target brands: Archer Farms/Market Pantry
Post by: pitter patter on February 10, 2012, 04:57:46 PM
I noticed some "may contains" labels on some of these products.  Has anyone ever called on these Target brands?  I am wondering if they label for shared equipment consistently.

My allergen set is way different than yours, but I did want to mention that I did have a reaction (really scary ana episode) after eating a target brand product - a risotto box mix. It read safe for my allergen set.  Was never able to determine if it was cross contamination or a new allergy. (possibly saffron - I just avoid it, which isn't too hard)

Again, probably not that helpful to you, since I'm not nut-allergic, but wanted to chime in with my experience.  I do avoid all of the rice/pasta mixes from target now, but I do eat other target brand products that have worked for me.

We have found them to be inconsistent about shared lines with gluten.  I know others trust them for nuts and milk but honestly they just seem like most store lines when it comes to labeling, inconsistent.

From what my DH's cousin indicated is that many different companies make the "market pantry" items.  His company happens to make the apple sauce and one of the juices for the market pantry label.  So you would have to call on each item to see what they say.

Sounds like Market Pantry remains off our list of trusted brands.
