Does anyone knowif this is safe? On vacation and my bottle of safe olive oil broke.  This is all I can find.  Thanks!

Any chance you're near a Walmart? Only because I have a bottle of Great Value that reads without any warnings.

We have used Colavita extra virgin olive oil for years, and it has no warnings.  It has proven safe for our peanut, tree nut, milk, wheat, sesame, egg, and legume allergic kids so I personally consider Colavita safe.  Colavita is available at many stores in North America as it is a common brand and good quality.

Don't buy Spectrum olive oil.. saw it at Whole Foods and it has a peanut warning on the label.

Not sure about Carapelli but would tend to think it should be okay but no proof..  although I did find a blog that states the writer checked with Carapelli and said it was free of peanuts/nuts.. here is the link:

I've used Colavita, Carapelli, and Bertoli for years.  Can't remember when I called, must have been eons ago, so definitely worth checking again.
