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 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.

Does anyone know what retail stores will be carrying these in the Phila PA area? Can they be ordered online? Thanks!
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...
Comment
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

I've not tested them, but I've had the Crunchy Rice cereal back when it was Nutty Rice. It's good.
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: 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!

Re: New Food Finds: Egg-Free Foods for 2016
Also, I wanted to mention Trader Joe's carries the non-mint brownie crisps, and they are delicious! I'm fairly certain these are the Lucy's brownie crisps private labeled. Gluten, egg, nut, and dairy-free. (Of the top 8, they only contain soy.)

Re: Most Snyder's Pretzels Now Made in Peanut-Free Facility
I have called Snyder's pretzel before about the gluten-free pretzels and they are also nut-free. I hope they add the new symbol on those too!

Re: Most Snyder's Pretzels Now Made in Peanut-Free Facility
Yes! I hope that more companies will realize how many families are affected by allergies and follow suite. So glad that we will be able to enjoy this company again.

The pretzels are also tree nut free - there are no tree nuts in the pretzels or the plant according to the company.
