I saw a FB post that said Thomas's English Muffins now have a warning for Walnuts.  So since I was headed to the grocery store, I checked our Thomas's and the label stated made in a facility that uses nuts.

We do not use this brand.

Kittle, I'm so sorry that happened.  How is he?

I stopped using them years ago due to X-contamination concerns.  I switched to Pepperidge Farm English Muffins, but I don't think they make them anymore. 

Unfortunately "may contain" and "shared equipment" warnings are voluntary, which totally sucks for our community.   

I know this is an old thread but my son just had an allergic reaction to Thomas' English muffins. The packaging has NO statement in regards to peanuts.

So to all the moms wondering, do not give your peanut allergic kids the Thomas' brand products I hope this saves someone else the heartache.

I'm hoping no one minds, but I'm going to change the name of the thread to "english muffins" since there is more than info on thomas's.

I have confirmed with pepperidge farms that the rumor is true that they have discontinued making both kinds of english muffins.  If you have an outlet near you, you may still be able to get them.  The one near us closed (thankfully, I called before driving there).

I have a call into Vermont Bread Company.  I'll let you know what I find out.

Thomas' English Muffins (Bimbo Bakery) were less than helpful on the phone.  She said they do not label for sesame and there is sesame in the facility.  I asked in there was sesame on the line that made the muffins and she said she cannot tell me because they move product from facility to facility.

This is ridiculous.

Ok, well here's a gourmet english muffin that is peanut, tree nuts and sesame free if you are willing to pay for it.  He said they don't keep peanuts, tree nuts or sesame in the bakery.

This is what I got back...

Good Morning,

We are a peanut/tree nut free facility; however, there is sesame in the facility.

Wow, I've sent them a message this morning and have not heard back from them yet.

ah - I think I know the reason. I had been emailing Brian from Koffee Kup Bakery --- they are run by the same people   I replied back to Brian's email from a few weeks ago and asked about this anomaly, and he wrote back and explained.

For Vermont Bread Co. --- they got back to me fairly quickly! They don't make those rolls anymore and the website is overdue for updating apparently.

So - they are pn/nut free. I'm not sure if they still use sesame.

I've wondered whether Thomas are on same equipment. I've just avoided them, but I buy them for DS.

I've written in, I'm sure they'll write back on monday.

I LOVE their english muffins (taste homemade and not like Thomas' and others which still taste 'processed' to me)

I wonder if it's the seeds or something, that come with the warning...so if the seeds they get in are 'same facility' but not 'same equipment' it might be they are considering the extremely unlikely cross-x with tree nuts on their VBC products (which might be why they don't put nut/pn free on labels anywhere.)

Honestly - that's fine with me with my comfort level. YMMV

We have sesame to deal with as well...some of their breads have sesame so I haven't looked into in depth yet.  I was looking on their website and some of their rolls say made in a facility with tree nuts.

well - then I'm going to write back to them and point that out.
