I was told that the Cherry Dark Chocolate granola bar is made in a different (peanut and nut-free) plant from the other granola bars. If any of their products are made on equipment that is also used for a nut product, the box would be labeled 'may contain'.
I'm convinced that the granola bars are safe for ME! [/b]
Kashi must be improving their labeling! Has anyone seen a Kashi product with a 'may contain' label on it? I haven't looked at any in months since we were essentially giving up on them. I still have some crackers and cereal in my cupboard that I'm leery of using.

Um, I know you just posted this 5 days ago, and maybe the Kashi website is outdated, but the ingredients list/allergen warnings posted there for this exact product clearly say CONTAINS almond and peanut flour and milk and MAY CONTAIN traces of other tree nuts. This product sounded very interesting to me, but assuming the website is right, it's not safe for anyone with PA or TNA regardless of comfort zone.

Here is the ingredient list from the website:
Ingredients:
Kashi Seven Whole Grains & Sesame

This reminds me of the discussion about coconut being added to the FDA's tree nut list. At the time it was posted that companies had to specify the type of tree nut in may contain labels (if they had one) but apparently that is not true. Kashi has tons of stuff that simply says 'may contain tree nuts' without specifying.

I emailed Kashi about this product. It is made in 2 different plants - the email said that I would have to check the ingredients and sometimes it will have peanut flour/almond flour plus a nut allergen warning....and sometimes they will be safe as they were made in the other facility !!
I told them we will not be purchasing this any more - too confusing for me, not to mention my 3 year old...."yes honey, today they are safe, but when we come back next week, they may not be, but the week after, perhaps"....forget it. Not worth the brain damage, plus Im just annoyed at Kashi for making it so much harder.

general mills made their small granola bites. contains wheat and soy i believe. my son had a few and was fine. they are what we all love about their new cereal but in little baggies and just the granola bites. yum O!!
