    I just saw this in your list of items you use, and visited their site to see the ingredients, and her site here http://www.anniesnaturals.com/organic_condiments says that it is "Made on shared equipment that also processes Peanuts, Milk, Egg, Soy, Fish and Wheat." Just wanted to let you know!

    TLC,

    Thanks for the heads up! It does say "Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free" on Annie's Organic Ketchup product page: http://anniesnaturals.elsstore.com/view/product/?id=1384&cid=1961

    I've contacted Annie's about this conflicting information on their website and will keep everyone posted.

    This is the response I received from Annie's:

    Thank you for taking the time to contact Annie's Naturals. Our manufacturing facilities meet with the highest standards of cleanliness, and we maintain all allergen cleaning, and Quality Control protocol on file. We recognize the needs of our customers who have allergies or sensitivities certain ingredients, which is why Annie's always fully discloses all ingredients on the ingredient statement and will answer any questions that will help consumers decide what products they can safely consume.

    At Annie's, we take every precaution to ensure that cross contamination of ingredients does not occur in our production facility. We run the products in a particular order to reduce the risk of cross contamination, take the equipment apart and thoroughly clean it in between runs of product, and do allergen testing on our products. However, we want you to know that some products are produced in a plant that processes foods containing wheat, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, crustaceans/shellfish, and egg. This is why we voluntarily chose to update our packaging to include this allergen information.

    Thanks again for your inquiry. We hope that you will continue to enjoy Annie's Naturals products!

    Best regards,

    sounds as if Annie's, like most multi-use facilitates, (like most home kitchen remember), is doing everything to keep folks safe -- there are so few dedicated facilities, and when cleaning is done well, there really is no medical need for a dedicated facility.
