I noticed new packaging on Scharffen Berger chocolate at the store today.  The baking bars are now labeled as manufactured in a shared facility with milk and tree nuts.

We are not going until October so I haven't called.  It's called Wildflour Bakery.  Looks like a small place.  There are some nuts on the menu.

Has anyone read the label on the cocoa powder?

A local place in Tahoe uses this and if safe, then DS might be able to have hot chocolate other than at home.

Hezzier - will you please let me know where this is if it's safe?  We are heading up to Tahoe next weekend.

They might get it in a different size/bag or something meant for food service. There should be a label that they have or can find?  I'm thinking of warnings coming from how it's packaged. Grocery store canisters might be safe where the food service is not.

DS looooovvved the milk.  It's his first taste of really high quality chocolate. 

We can get it here!  I've bought DH the dark bar, and I've bought the baking chocolate (haven't used it yet). DH has since bought himself a bar. I want to get some for DS--the milk chocolate.

I only bought it from having read about it here.

Yeah-- our co-op and local health food stores carry them-- but only limited varieties.

Great news on labeling, though!  I'll definitely be keeping this in mind for making yummy stuff with dark-dark-dark chocolate.  (Which is the only kind worthy of the name, tyvm.)

I rarely see anything but baking supplies outside of Whole Foods.

No wonder I've never heard of this-it isn't sold at any store in my area, according to their website. None in my state at all-that's not really fair.

Lately I've been noticing that none of the 3 oz. bars in my area have had allergen warnings on them - previously it was only the baking bars that were safe in my area.  I recalled that they were excellent at labeling, but I wanted to double check.

I purchased a milk bar (blech!) for DS, and called when I got home.  They confirmed that if there is any chance of shared equipment, X-Contam of any kind it will be on the label.  That goes for gluten as well, BTW - and this bar is labeled as gluten free.

They do have several different facilities, so always check the label. 

Personally, I adore their 82%, but I know DS will love the milk one.
