Breyer\'s Pure Fruit Frozen Bars

Yonit,
I don't specifically know about that product.
Here's an alternative that might be of interest. Wawona makes frozen fruit bars that are strictly the frozen fruit - no other ingredients. I don't see the product on their website [url="http://www.wawona.com/shop/default.asp"]http://www.wawona.com/shop/default.asp[/url] , but we tasted samples a few months ago (they are based in CA). At that time, they were planning to distribute through Safeway and others (i.e. consumer packaging) as well as through schools.
If interested, you can contact Bill Astin, VP of Sales for Wawona (559) 299-2901, ext. 228 or [email]bastin@wawona.com[/email] . I had a lengthy conversation with him in person (at a Wellness Fair in our city), and confirmed that the frozen product targeted to children (the frozen fruit bar) is produced on a peanut/tree-nut free facility.

yonit,
i don't know which of these (if any) are kosher or nut-safe, but here is a short list of fruit bars:
dole fruit 'n juice frozen fruit bars
edy's whole fruit fruit bars
luigi's real italian ice lemon bars
welch's fruit juice bars
tropicana real fruit fruit bars.
would love to know what you find out.

My ds eats these all the time! Never called but never had a problem in the 2 years we've been buying them

This is incorrect, breyers does not have allergen free dedicated equipment of any sort. go to breyers.com for their description of their products as related to allergens.

The previous poster is correct - Breyers does NOT have dedicated lines. We just returned from a night in the hospital after my son had an anaphylactic reaction after eating a Popsicle brand popsicle. I spent an hour on the phone with them this morning. They told me they aare the same as Breyers and that neither of them have dedicated lines.

DeykisMom - that's horrible. Everyone assumes popsicles are safe, but I have heard of 2 reaction because of cross contamination. Try Philly Swirl brand - the popsicle, cups and poppers are made in a peanut free facility. But check the website and label. Also just learned that Luigi's real italian ice, minute maid frozen novelties and Whole fruit bars and sorbet are safe of peanuts. This is the e-mail I got from them.
LUIGI'S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Frozen Novelties and WHOLE FRUIT Fruit Bars and Sorbet are all made in a peanut free facility. Tree nuts are present in this facility, however, strict measures are taken to prevent cross-contamination.
