Environmental Allergies, Food Allergies, and Asthma

New this past month from the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network:

Just because a product was safe the last time you purchased it doesn’t mean the ingredients have stayed the same! It is very important to read all labels all of the time. The following food manufacturers have recently worked with FAAN to provide you with information about changes in their products.

2009

January

Kraft Foods North America, Inc., would like to notify you that beginning in early March 2009, Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts (in 21-oz., 11.25-oz., and 10-oz. packages) will be reformulated to include macadamia nuts. The new packages for these three products will continue to include the following allergen information statement: “Manufactured on equipment that processes peanut, other tree nuts.”

Consumers are strongly encouraged to read the labels on the products before every purchase, as formulas (recipes) do change from time to time. If you have any questions you may call the company at (877) 677-3268.
