Nestle Canada has released 5 new products this week. It is a reminder of the importance of [b]always reading labels.[/b]
First, the warnings...
[b]Kit Kat Chunky Caramel[/b]
This product is [b]not safe[/b]. As it clearly written in bold in the ingredient label, it is manufactured in a facility/with equipment that process peanuts. There is also a warning graphic of a peanut in a circle on the front of the bar. This product is manufactured by Nestle Australia and imported into Canada by Nestle Canada.
[b]Smarties Chocolate bar[/b]
This product comes in both milk chocolate and white chocolate varieties. This product is [b]not safe[/b]. As it clearly written in bold in the ingredient label, it is manufactured in a facility/with equipment that process peanuts. There is also a warning graphic of a peanut in a circle on the front of the bar.
The Smarties themselves are always safe as they are manufactured in a nut-free facility, but the chocolate in the bar is not safe. This is the same situation as with the Christmas Smartie shakers and Smarties Easter eggs as we have had each year.
[b]Aero Caramel[/b]
This product [b]is safe[/b]. It is manufactured in the peanut-free/nut-free Toronto facility along with other Aero products.
[b]Kit Kat Dark[/b]
This product [b]is safe[/b]. It is manufactured in the peanut-free/nut-free Toronto facility along with other Kit Kat products.
[b]Kit Kat Chunky White[/b]
This product [b]is safe[/b]. It is manufactured in the peanut-free/nut-free Toronto facility or in the nut-free/peanut-free Nestle UK facility - I can't remember at the moment.
******************************
So in summary, for the new chocolate bars:
Safe:
Aero caramel
Kit Kat dark
Kit Kat Chunky White
Not Safe:
Kit Kat Chunky Caramel (from Australia)
Smarties Chocolate bar
*****************************
Nestle Canada has labelled the unsafe products very well with bolded warnings and an illustration of a peanut on the wrapping.
Always read ingredient labels to be safe! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

you are GREAT, Eric!
erik -- thanks so much for this - I'm "stocking stuffer" shopping tomorrow, between work and picking the kids up from school - so will probably be in panic mode. We usually put one or two big bars in the kids stockings - one of the few times they get a "big" chocolate bar.
Anyway - a HUGE thank you (I'd paste a hug if I could).. can't wait to try the Kit Kat Dark.. and the other two...yum! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
You're welcome Danielle and Mae..
Yes.. the Kit Kat dark and Aero caramel and Kit Kat Chunky White are all safe. I have tried all three.
For those of you who like Cadbury Caramilk, you will love Aero caramel.
*************
Just remember, Kit Kat Chunky Caramel and Smarties chocolate bars are [b]not safe[/b] and have peanut warnings on the packaging.
Thanks Eric, I'll be sure to pass the info to family and friends.
Hi Anna MArie,
I agree.. I was at Costco this weekend and picked up a cae. they are REALLY good.
I think these are "temporary" items. However, if they sell really well, I think Nestle would make them permanant.
For example, Nestle Aero dark was only a temporary special edition, but now it is permanant. I hope they make it permanant, as it is even better than the Cadbury Caramilk (impo)

UserName #2 blipped out so I'm using this one. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/tongue.gif[/img]
Well, erik, after listening to you (if that what I'm doing when I read your posts? [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/eek.gif[/img] ) and Anna Marie discuss the Aero Caramel to-day in the Rudeness thread, when I went to the variety store tonight and Jesse asked if he could have the Aero Caramel (remember, he had clamoured for one Friday night), I gave in. All three of us got one. The kids couldn't have theirs given the lateness of the hour but I did manage to scarf mine down!
Absolutely spectacular. More chocolately and less caramel than a Caramilk. Very very sweet like a Caramilk. Oh, and still the giant, since it is a chunky Aero, bubbles of an Aero. Thumbs up from me. The kids get their's tomorrow. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
Jesse did stand and label read while we were in there and he read the Smarties chocolate bar label. I don't know if they had the other new ones or not. So far, I've only seen the Aero Caramel and the Smarties chocolate bar, but, then, as everyone knows, I don't get out that much. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/tongue.gif[/img]
