Finally some answers from Silk

Several months ago I wrote a post about the change in distributors for Silk Soy Milk and that they where now processing Almond Milk in the same facility and on the same equipment as both Dairy and Soy Milk. You can read that post here. After several attempts to get straight answers from the company regarding cross contamination issues I admit, I finally gave up. Since then we have stopped using the Silk brand in our house out of fear of cross contamination and my sons nut allergy.

I am now relieved to hear that Silk Brand Soy Milk now carries a nut allergy warning on the label. You can read more about this on The Nut-Free Mom's Blog.

Food Allergens In Unexpected Places

This weekend I came across a box of cornstartch at Target with an advisory label stating that it May Contain: Wheat, Egg, Milk, Soy and Tree Nuts. I would not have expected to find my sons allergen in a box of cornstartch but thankfully read the label out of habit. I wanted to share this as a reminder to ALWAYS read labels on EVERYTHING!
