Title: Smart Balance
Post by: nonuteen on October 03, 2013, 09:07:30 PM
Does anyone use this?  We buy the Smart Balance light since I am dairy tolerant but dd is pa/tna and I just realized they also make peanut butter!  Hoping it is made in a separate facility and there is no chance of cross contamination.  I plan on contacting them in the morning.

WE used it for years.  DD was dairy, egg, pn; DH soy; and both of them TNA.  It was the tubs, because that is the ONLY thing that we could use that was remotely like a buttery spread for toast.

  Worked for us when nothing else did, though it didn't melt worth a crap.  {ahem}


I know that this was at one time discussed either at Hyperboards or at PA.com many many years ago.  (would have been about 2005-2006 or so, when they introduced the PB-- yes, different facility, though obviously info is dated now.  I just remember that even I felt comfy with it, and we don't touch shared facility with PN.)

We have used the tub for years, though not the one with fish oil.  yum!  We are tna/pa and don't use shared facilities, but likewise, I don't remember why we decided it was safe.

I just called and spoke to a customer service rep.   She says the peanut butter is made at a complete different facility and there are not nuts or peanuts in the facility of the spreads.  She answered rather quickly without having to look up anything (as many other companies do) so I hope she's correct!!
