Welcome to KFA Caroline! Hope you try it and enjoy it! We just sent dd off to college and this was one of the things she wanted to be able to make in her dorm to keep in the fridge to snack on. She practiced making it before move in day and served it to extended family for dinner along w/ grilled meat. There were no leftovers!
Yes, I know your hamburger buns, crackers, cereal, etc do not contain pieces of peanuts that are visible to the naked eye, so please don't roll your eyes at me when I ask if there is a label I can read or if I can speak with a restaurant manager about possible cross-contamination. That and other parents please learn to read food labels! Again, if the allergen is not visible it might still be there hence the "processed on the same equipment" or "processed in the same facility" "or may contain...
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'm sorry you are feeling so stressed over starting Kinder. Have you requested a 504 evaluation?? The last link in #5 above has lots of resources on that process. That is your best way to get accommodations for your kiddo. In that type of plan is where you can specify things like handwashing after snack/lunch, a peanut free table/zone in the cafeteria, etc. Have you discussed w/ the doc what he thinks are reasonable/necessary accommodations??
Thank you for reminder to Read labels and not get relaxed on reading common products as safe. I am very worried about cupcakes label said PEANUT FREE Facility BUT...i never seen strawberry cupcakes so decided to read label it said nuts n pecans in ingredients...i s so glad i read ..my daughter is allergic to nuts ALL nut and i was taking them to school for LAST DAY OF SCHOOL SNACK TO CHANGE OUT THE TEACHERS SNACKS FOR SAFE TREATS ..SCARY!! AND im discusted the label said peanut free sticker...
So I'm looking at this and thinking it may be something to trial a little with my son this summer. We know potato and coconut are doable. Would the extracts have a lot of proteins in them? And food starch is usually a corn source, right? OMG I just realized he may be able to try this! Also heard it may be right at our S&S
My son is allergic to milk-eggs-sesame- peanuts- treenuts and peas/chic peas. he consumed just one bite of the white cheddar earth balance Mac and cheese and said his throat and tounge were itchy. I quickly looked at the box to see if the added any ingredients or if it said"may contain" or "made in a facility with..." it did not. My son missed school- vomitted and had diarrhea with stomach pain. he had Benadryl. i called customer service and the guaranteed me that earth balance faculty could...
