My two cents. In the beginning (especially), don't eat ANY foods that are clearly marked "made in a facility that shares....". If you don't, you're only guessing that these foods aren't the problem. Then, you can add them in one at a time if you like. I was diagnosed about 8 years ago and I still won't eat these foods. There are other choices and...

My discovering this was about 15 years after I first had symptoms of a food allergy. It started with banana and fresh orange, both made my mouth sensitive and my tongue swollen a bit. It wasn't critical, but noticiable. Then it went to colored bell peppers, except for green. Even cooked. Ultimately, the final straw was watermelon closing my airway enough...

I might be able to help with this. I ate fresh fruits and veggies all of my life until I had a reaction to watermelon and bell pepper. My mouth got itchy and my voice got hoarse (airway closing). This didn't happen until my 20's. Ultimately, I was diagnosed with OAS or Oral Allergy Syndrome, which essentially is an allergy to a PROTEIN in many foods...

Although I disagree that "dedicated facilities don't make a difference", I do agree that Kraft is one of the few companies I trust through and through. Also, if you haven't tried it, their pre-made cheesecake filling is to die for. Make a cheesecake in 3 minutes! (I use crushed cookies, sometimes mixed and baked with fruit jam, as the base).

FYI, Chipotle is a better choice (watch out for cc obviously). Their chips are fine, as is everything else, except for the flour tortilla. I eat there at least once per week (for years), never a reaction and I'm very sensitive.

I took my daughter to one for a "regular" meal. While there I asked about their gluten-free policies and I got a completely blank stare in return. No Thanks!
