[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll chime in and admit that my pn/tn-allergic kid eats or has eaten most, if not all, on that list.

You may want to check out snacksafely.com.  They compile and update lists on what products are safe, but with the caveat that things change quickly and that it's each family's responsibility to double check.

We also use Ghiradelli milk choc chips. I called them and they said their facility is peanut-free, but they did have some treenuts in their facility (not on same line). I don't recall which tn they were, but they weren't the ones my son is allergic to, so I allow it. We haven't had a reaction to them in 5 years and counting.

Again, with nuts in the facility, I usually call and inquire exactly which nuts and if they're on shared lines.  Some parents, especially those with children who have a much more extensive list of allergies, call the manufacturers for every item their child eats.  I, personally, do not, unless it's for an item that tends to be risky, like desserts, cookies, ice cream, etc.  Another example- I called Magnum (what a bad name!) for their double Magnum ice cream bars; they said there are no peanuts in their facility and the only tn they use is almond, and they have a special cleansing process for their equipment.  My son is not allergic to almonds, so I allow it and he has been safe so far.  But that might be too much of a risk of cross-contamination for other families.[/quote]

Me again.  I meant to add that I've found that the Ghiradelli white chocolate chips aren't safe (or at least not a risk I would take) so in this case, it's very specifically only their milk choc chips I use.[/quote]
