Re: New Food Find: Allergy-Friendly Cookies Made in a Dedicated Allergy-Free Facility
I have noticed that oatmeal-raisin is a common flavor for allergy friendly foods...what's funny is that my daughter is allergic to oatmeal and raisins (allergic to grapes). But I'm glad to see the chocolate chip and brownie varieties! I'll be on the lookout for these.

Comment
Re: New Food Find: Allergy-Friendly Cookies Made in a Dedicated Allergy-Free Facility
I would suggest contacting Cybele at info@cybelesreadytoeat.com . I saw on their Facebook page that the cookies will be ready to ship in June, and the availability of the products will be announced at that time. My guess is, they are still lining up distribution.

Re: New Food Find: Allergy-Friendly Cookies Made in a Dedicated Allergy-Free Facility
Hello, Does anyone know of a peanut/nut free snack bar that is portable, healthy and not loaded with refined sugars and ingredients that I can't even pronounce?! I know there are products out there that are peanut free but they are not very healthy. Any help would be much appreciated! Sahba
Comment
Re: New Food Find: Allergy-Friendly Cookies Made in a Dedicated Allergy-Free Facility
Hi Sahba! Welcome to KFA!! The one that comes to my mind is the bars from Enjoy Life Foods . Click on the flavors to see the ingredients lists and decide if you think they are okay in terms of refined sugar (evaporated cane sugar) and ingredients you can't pronounce. I sort of know what you mean but my tolerance is probably different from yours. I know that a lot of granola bars and fruit bars are indeed a risk for people with tree nut and peanut allergies. If the Enjoy Life ones don't work...

Re: New Food Find: Allergy-Friendly Cookies Made in a Dedicated Allergy-Free Facility
Hi Sahba Try PeanutFree Planet www.peanutfreeplanet.com, I believe... You need to read ingredients carefully, because they distribute products manufactured by many co's, and the ingredients vary widely by product; however, you can find snack bars and energy bars there. Try EnerPro...they might work for you. They work for my son, and are fairly high in protein. He also likes the Enjoy Life ones. I like the idea of making your own, too. Good Luck! TC

My daughter is allergic to milk, eggs, soy, gluten, and potatoes. Do these cookies contain potato starch? I notice a lot of gluten free products contain potato starch.

Re: New Vegan Dairy-Free Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing
I wonder if they make ANY without mustard. Tried checking a few on their website but so far no luck!
Comment
Re: New Vegan Dairy-Free Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing
I never can find this in a store. I love their Veganaise with the purple top. I so missed BLTs and chicken salad. With Veganaise, tofu and xantham gum, I can even make crab cakes like my MIL (lots of bread crumbs) but it holds together.

Re: Hippeas Nacho Vibes Chickpea Puffs
I'm sure this snack will be beneficial to many kids. However, some years ago, our allergy doctor informed us that sometimes kids with Soy or Peanut allergy develop allergies to other legumes. If your child has Soy or Peanut allergy and hasn't eaten Chickpeas much, please be sure to check about the Chickpeas Our child has both serious soy and peanut allergies and sure enough quickly became allergic to both chickpeas and lentils within a year of the initial diagnosis.

Re: Hippeas Nacho Vibes Chickpea Puffs
GREAT FIND we however like many families have a peanut anaph. allergy and peanuts are a legume just like peas, lentils, beans and chickpeas. Hopefully anyone trying already is cleared from being allergic to chickpeas.
