Almonds Cross Contamination

[River*]

Does anybody know where I can buy almonds that have not been cross contaminated in Canada?

I was buying from Walmart -big, no lid, open bulk bin in the bread section....realized maybe I shouldn't be doing that.

Now I am purchasing from a health food store but, they don't know if they have been cross contaminated.

Hi River,

There can never be a 100% guarantee that something is free from Cross-Contamination.

.

If it's not stated on a packet you can't be 100% sure of that fact.

If you were to worry about every possibility of contamination in food you'd 'starve'

.

There is no sense becoming 'neurotic' about possible cross-contamination.

Go with your 'Gut Feeling' (Pun Intended) if it doesn't feel right don't use it again!

.

Everyone is effected differently, so what suits me, may not be suitable for you.

It's a learning curve, and everyone needs to find their own way.

.

I'd say if it doesn't effect you keep using it!

.

Best Regards,

David

I can tell you that Blue Diamond brand almonds are produced on dedicated lines but some of the flavored ones do have wheat as an ingredient, so just read the labels.

The best place to go for the answer is the company that makes the product. My health food store is really good about calling or giving me company numbers if they are not on a product. Perhaps yours will check for you or you can try putting the company product name and the word gluten in a search engine. Many times a companies gluten statement will come up or the companies website which will give you their phone number for contact.
