Peanut/Tree Nut Free Granola 2007

In Canada, Quaker sells peanut/nut free versions of their granola bars.

I order from nonuttin- I like the bars better than the Quaker peanut free bars. I've also tried the granola and trail mix.

PC (president's choice) superstore in canda is now making a granola bar that states peanut free on the package.
haven't tried them yet but i see the kids at school with them

I think the Dominion flyer also advertised their store brand granola-type bars as peanut-free.

I purchased the pc ones, but through out the box and forgot to call to check if they were sesame seed free. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/redface.gif[/img] So I haven't tried them yet.

I have the same problem finding things because of seed allergy (sesame, poppy & sunflower) and also avoiding flax for now.

no nuttin makes a vanilla type granola and their trail mix is good. raisons, choc. chunks, soynuts, apples and cherries

We have just purchased the President's Choice granola bars in 3 flavours---Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip and Marshmellow, and Raisin. They are well labelled with a large "made in a peanut free facility" with the slash through the peanut on the box.

Both boys prefer them to the Quaker brand [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/eek.gif[/img]

Adam's Mom, we just bought our first boxes of these late last week when they finally hit the shelves of my local grocery store.

I bought two kinds (chocolate chip and chocolate fudge) that are also coated in chocolate. Then, I believe a chocolate chip not coated in chocolate.

There are also breakfast bars, but I just got a yuck face from my son when I asked him if he wanted me to buy those.

Comparing to Quaker - for me, they're probably basically the same, but the kids would probably say the President's Choice ones because of the chocolate dip.

This is the first "store brand" product that I've seen with the "peanut free" logo and I'm quite pleased. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

Prices this week (on sale) for boxes of either 6 or 8 (I think depending on chocolate dip) were 3 boxes for $5.00.

Best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

Anna Marie - the box - let me go get it.

Rich & Chewy Chocolate Chip - no mention of sesame. HOWEVER, no mention of any "may contains" at all.

Dipped & Chewy Chocolate Fudge & Chocolate Chip - same - no mention of sesame. Although, lots of bracketed words beside ingredients - for example coconut (contains sulphites).

Dipped & Chewy Chocolate Chip - same

This PC Product has been manufactured in a peanut-free facility. Look for our symbol on other PC products. Not all products are manufactured in a peanut-free facility. Always read the label carefully.

We had to read through carefully because the symbol says Made in a Peanut-Free Facility - not peanut/nut free.

We just started carrying the President's Choice granola bars at www. PeanutFreePlanet.com and the cereal bars. So far we have had some pretty good comments about them. The Cereal bars are also Kosher as well as peanut and tree nut free.

Not sure if you are looking for strictly granola or if "granola type" bars are of interest. These bars are located right with the granola bars in the store and if they don't have a peanut warning (or peanuts in the ingreds!), Kellogg's said they are made in a peanut free facility. When I looked there was only one kind that had peanuts in them and it was a Special K one and the rest didn't have peanuts listed. We eat a lot of the Nutri Grain bars..haven't tried the others yet.
