Regarding cross-contamination
It is so frustrating to me that, especially in the U.S., companies advertise one thing, but on the back label, state something else. My girlfriend has a very similar issue in having a wheat allergy, and, as they say, if it has wheat, it has gluten, but it may have gluten, and not necessarily have wheat. So often, the label will show in big eye-catching letters, "Gluten, or wheat-free!" However, look for the fine print on the back of the package, and it'll say it's processed in a facility that handles any one or several of the offending products. Why even make a product that claims to be safe, only to contaminate it on the production line...and risk potentially fatal reactions? The little profit that comes from that Ooops purchase can't be worth the lawsuits and bad press that would follow. Never more true is another saying, "Let the buyer beware."
