Post by: anxious on June 29, 2014, 01:44:31 PM
Does anyone use their cereals that does not have nut warnings on them? Has anyone had problems with them? Dealing with PA/TNA

We've recently bought the Kashi crunch cereal for the first time.  It reads safe but I have not called the company.  DS has eaten it with no problem.  IMMV

They told me in the past that they will add warnings for shared lines. It's been at least a year or two since I contacted them though.

Anymore, any company I contact (almost) says they follow FALCPA, use good manufacturing practices, yadda yadda without ever addressing the actual questions (shared lines, shared facilities, special procedures, etc).

Under their database of questions (response included in its entirety):

<customer>, thank you for asking! We do voluntary use a "May contains" statement for only tree nuts and peanuts, when a food is made on a shared line.

In addition, our product packages label the top eight allergens (i.e. peanut, tree nut, cow's milk, egg, soybean, wheat, fish and shellfish) in a separate box directly below the ingredient list on the Nutrition Facts side panel.

Hope the provided answers your question!

Some of their cereals contain sesame flour.

Yes they do.  We are not sesame allergic.  I had not heard of these granola bars.  I have not seen them in my stores. 

I raised this thread to keep on for the Kashi brand.

I saw the seed bars today at Stop & Shop, a big display right on the end cap  but I could not bring myself to try them.  If the label says Granola and Seed Bars...then I have a hard time believing they are sesame safe - either in content or cross contamination.  The chocolate chip bars were tempting though and they do have coconut in them if you can't have coconut.
