This was a great article! Very clear and concise descriptions and great presentation format! This emphasis on the different types I've never seen stressed before. It would be very helpful to further understanding by also knowing what is the percentage of IgE mediated vs. non-IgE mediated food allergies. I hope that additional information can be posted in a comment or follow-up blog entry. Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I used this handout at a meeting with my son's teacher this morning after a near miss due to confusion about IgE vs. non-IgE allergies. This put things simply for her, and now I feel confident that she understands and can keep my son safe at school.
They are both great! My son enjoyed the Mac n Cheese for dinner last night, first time he's ever liked a dairy free mac n cheese. I tasted it, it was fantastic. Today for lunch he asked to have sunbutter on the crackers and devoured them. We love Earth Balance products!
Hello and thanks for posting!! We found them at Whole Foods, and a local grocery store chain that has a large selection of vegan/gluten free/allergy-friendly products and regularly stocks many Earth Balance products. Earth Balance does have a store finder: http://earthbalancenatural.com/store-finder/ , but of course that doesn't tell you what stores carry what products, just that *some* Earth Balance products may be carried there. At least it could give you a place to start when calling...
I know this post is old, but I figured I should add to it since this thread is what I found when searching for this on KFA. I called EB today and they told me the vegan cheddar squares are processed on the same line as products containing soy and milk. I cannot remember what they said about egg since I wrote them off at soy and milk...no peanuts on the line or in the facility. no tree nuts on the line but there are in same facility. Hope this helps someone! Obviously call and confirm...

Sorry they don't work for you. Did you ask about their cleaning protocols? Depending on their cleaning, some might be OK w/ using things on shared lines.
I did not ask, but good point. We do trust other brands who have good allergy protocol with cleaning/testing...but those brands are better about having info on packages and websites. The woman I spoke to basically said if you are allergic to those things I wouldn't recommend using the product. but sometimes the right questions make all the difference...maybe I will call back.
Let us know what they say if you do call back. Knowing the cleaning procedures to assess the real potential for cross contact can make or break using a product for many folks.
I am so excited to find this! My son is going to be celebrating a Passover feast with his 1st grade class at his Christian school (they have been studying Egyptian history and the Exodus this year). The feast traditionally includes most of the things he is allergic to (eggs, tree nuts and wheat). It is great to have a resource to help me navigate this event.
Thank you so much for this. It is rare to find this sort of resource representing so well the broad range of Jewish observance of Passover, and the fact that this does it tremendously helpful and appreciated!
Welcome, Ls1234! As you're making your Passover plans, don't forget to start a new topic on our community forums -- the Main Support Forum or the Food and Cooking Forum -- for any questions or problems you may run into!
Please do join in on discussions on the forums (or create new threads) about Passover with food allergies! Lots of creative ideas and experience in the community.
I'm Orthodox and although these ideas are great for some, I've dealt with allergies for Passover for 9 years. Yes, there are ways around everything, but some of these ideas are a bit unconventional. Please, please take these ideas with a grain of salt and speak to a rabbi. If anyone were to need ideas, you're more than welcome to contact me via private message.
These are really great tips. We put together a guide to celebrating a happy passover in 2018 https://www.joinmyparty.co/art...ating-happy-passover Let us know your thoughts Happy Passover!
another issue that kept me awake last week. During the "purge" week, people in the West Coast "should" purge ALL their emergency food .. which makes the family ultra vulnerable in care of an earthquake, until new food has been purchased. How do people do to reduce this crack in the plan? ((I don't care, my emergency food is in the basement, and only rats chew marks and poops would make me destroy ANY of that safe food))
Samismama, I do not, but they are a very allergy-aware company, so I encourage you to call and ask or check their website for details about sesame. Keep in mind that they are also at ExpoWest this weekend, not in the office, so they likely won't have anyone available to answer your questions until they return sometime next week.
The price of these are expensive compared to other pastas, but since they have so much more protein and fiber, maybe it would be a good idea to mix these with your current gluten-free pasta to boost the nutrition of your meal. (If you can't afford to use these solely.)
