Nonuttin’ Foods Inc. was created by the parents of a food allergic child. As such, we strive to be clear about what allergens are in the ingredients we use and what our manufacturing setup is.
We want you to feel comfortable about choosing Nonuttin' products. If you have any questions about our lines or allergens, please feel free to contact us toll free at 1-866-714-5411 or by email at info@nonuttin.com .
We have outlined below the top 11 common food allergens and gluten plus a couple of notes about flavors and latex.
Sulfites
No ingredients containing sulfite preservatives are used in the Nonuttin' facility.
Tree nuts - (i.e. almonds, cashews, pecans).
No ingredients containing tree nuts are used in the Nonuttin' facility. All Nonuttin' staff members sign contracts to ensure they do not eat tree nut products before work or bring them into any area of the Nonuttin' facility, including the lunchroom.
Canada does not list coconut as a tree nut but the USA does. In any case, we treat coconut as a tree nut declaration with all of our suppliers. No ingredients containing coconut are used in the Nonuttin’ facility.
Wheat
No ingredients containing wheat are used in the Nonuttin' facility.
A Note About Flavors
All Nonuttin' granolas have flavors added to them that are indicated on the ingredient list as "natural flavor". Please note that we do not add any additional flavors that are not already indicated in the name of the product. The kinds of flavors used are as follows:
Vanilla Cinnamon Granola: Vanilla
Vanilla Caramel Granola: Vanilla
Blueberry Maple Granola: Maple
Cranberry Apple Granola: Apple
Additionally, we closely adhere to all food allergen labeling regulations and would declare any of the top 11 allergens as an allergen warning if the flavors were to contain a top food allergen.
Latex
No latex gloves are used on any Nonuttin' production line. We use only medical grade, powder-free nitrile gloves.
MANUFACTURING SET-UP
The Nonuttin' facility is organized into two separate lines: the granola bar line and the granola/oatmeal/seeds/trail mix/ingredients line. These two lines are not separated by walls.
