Title: So Delicious products
Post by: Jessica on February 28, 2013, 02:26:29 PM
They have plenty of nut flavors but they have a pretty good allergen statement on their packages. Doesn't say dedicated lines though. Do you trust them? I'm hoping that if they're safe, we can find some of the frozen treats around here.

Well that all depends, Jessica. I use it for my PA/TNA older child even though he can have dairy because we found impossible to keep regular smearable dairy away from MA child sufficiently to not cause reactions. Normally they would have been outside my comfort zone but we have used a lot of their products though I stay away from anything with add-ins. The plainer the better.

If all I had to worry about was nuts I'm not sure I'd use them. But thus far fine.

We don't-- not really, anyway.

The reason is that DD took a single sip and refused to have anything to do with the rest.  Then again, she's her own personal nut-detection system, so take that into account.  Her level of sensitivity means that if there are shared lines, she knows it-- we didn't bother sending it for testing as her symptoms were completely subjective and, well-- we know what we know either way, and it seems plausible it's too low to show up.   This was the holiday egg nog stuff, by the way.

It's possible that she just really hated the coconut, but I don't think that was it.  (she is almond allergic)

We use it.  I talked with their quality assurance person for a really long time and he described the intricate and detailed measures they take to prevent xcontam including batch testing for a bunch of top 8 allergens.  They are one of the few companies I do trust this way and I like them a lot.  DS has always been fine with their stuff.

I'm also comfortable with them.  I've had issues with some brands of milk and seed butters with regard to gluten and soy, but I do fairly well with the So Delicious coconut milk products.

We use them, too.  I've talked to a couple of different customer service reps over the years and they've been very forthcoming with info on their cleaning and testing procedures.

I haven't had any luck finding them around here so far. The frozen stuff, that is. They have the 'milk' products.

I look at Turtle Mountain as the best way to get coconut products. At least they batch test.

Do you remember what area they're in? I couldn't find anything in the area with the regular ice creams, popsicles, etc. I didn't really look anywhere else though.

A few weeks ago it was a top shelf item with the Haagan Daaz and Ben & Jerry pints.  I finally looked again this week and they moved it so it is sandwhiched in with the top end novelties. 

I will say that our Walmart is catering to allergies with special "allergy friendly" products and sections like Enjoy Life, Tinkyada, etc.

I first read about them a few years ago and looked for them at our little natural food store.  I have seen So Delicious products around a lot lately.  I've read good things about them.

Our Kroger stores and Harris Teeter both carry a few So Delicious products (Kroger carries more, though the selection varies store to store).  WFM and the little health food stores/co-ops all carry it.  I can't remember if Food Lion has it.  Our sole remaining Giant only carries a couple of the shelf-stable tetrapacks of the milk (vanilla and unsweetened).

I carry the vanilla creamer with me daily in the diaper bag.

Independent health food stores here:

co-op, Market-of-Choice.

I've seen them occasionally at Fred Meyer and Safeway stores, too.

I can check a Kroger when I see one. The ones around here are in towns I don't normally go to very often. There's no whole foods or any independents nearby.
