Title: Help! Need to find pistachios not x-contaminated
Post by: notnutty on August 20, 2012, 10:21:10 AM
I need to find pistachios that are free of x-contamination from other tree-nuts and peanuts.  I found out Wonderful pistachios are made in peanut-free facility, but I believe they are x-contaminated with other tree nuts.

We are doing an office challenge and need to find them for this purpose.  Has anyone had any luck in this area??

I believe that Macabre's family has challenged pistachios.  You might contact her and ask, since she will have researched it.

Thanks!  I think I may have found the answer.  Wonderful Pistachios claim they are a peanut free factory and also they have no cross allergens and are "guaranteed free of any other nuts."

I have a phone call into them, but I feel pretty comfortable with this statement.  Guarantee?  Pretty strong language.

Thanks CM!

Yes--we eat the Wonderful Pistachios all the time (they are also known by another name).

So I saw tonight at SuperTarget that they also make almonds.  I don't know if it's on the same equipment. And though we eat their pistachios a lot and we also eat (Blue Diamond pf almonds), we didn't get the almonds.

I saw the same thing on their website.  We are going to challenge almonds first, so it shouldn't be an issue if he passes almonds.  Keeping our fingers crossed!  :)

They're also known as Get Crackin' fwiw. And my initial contact with them got immediate response---through twitter. :)  I ate too many of those pistachios yesterday. :hiding:
