any chance of cross-contamination with Digestive Wellness nut products?

[Guest guest]

I'm asking because my son is deathly allergic to cashews. He can have other

nuts, though. I'm just wondering if there's any chance that a small amount

of cashew could be in their products even if they don't list cashews as an

ingredient.

Thanks in advance,

I have forwarded your question to Esther Weiss at Digestive Wellness. There is

always a

tiny risk that any food can be contaminated. I doubt that this is the case with

DW but

rarely use commercial products. I have taken to baking my own because my

favorite

approved brand uses almonds and I now prefer pecans. It is important that if

cashew ifit

is in anything it should be raw as some roasted cashew are sometimes dusted with

a

starch.

Esther will answer very promptly as DW is always striving to be SCD compliant

with their

products.

Digestive Wellness responded:

Our " almond star cookies " , " hazelnut wheels " , and " almond muffins " don't have

any

cashews in them. The machinery is washed very well after used for products

containing

cashews.
