NESTL� SMARTIES UPDATE
�
In response to your need for
foods that are peanut/nut-safe, Nestl� Canada�s stringent quality
assurance procedures
ensure that our products are
either made in a peanut/nut-free manufacturing environment,
or are clearly labelled with
an Allergy Alert.
�
As
you may know, our regular boxes of Nestl� Smarties are peanut/nut-safe
as they are produced
in a nut-free
environment.� This includes Smarties available in the following formats:
�
56g
(also in 4- packs), 84g King Size, 150g bag of Treat Size (10-
pack), 187g/3lb bags,
and
56g/210g Christmas Smarties.�
�
We
ensure the manufacturing area is free of peanut/nut ingredients
by:
�
���������
not
using peanut/nuts in any products made in the factory,
���������
not
permitting any food or drink in the area, and
���������
educating
employees about peanut/nut allergies and Nestl� Canada�s manufacturing
processes.�
�
In addition, we have partnered with the Allergy,
Asthma Information Association and the Anaphylaxis Network to
raise awareness
and educate people about allergies.
�
In accordance with this policy, we want
you to know that the following Smarties holiday products are manufactured
in separate facilities that do
contain peanuts/nuts.� Labels
on each of these products contain an Allergy Alert.

Christmas
and Easter Smarties Shakers -- 210 g (6- pack)

**We
apologize:
This past Easter, the Allergy Alert on 46g packages of Smarties
Eggs appeared below the
ingredient
list but was partially covered by a seam flap.� The chocolate for this product is molded in
a facility that
also
produces peanut/nut products and, therefore, has the potential
to come into contact with peanut/nut
products.� We apologize and have taken immediate action
to ensure the Allergy Alert appears above the
ingredient information.�
If you would like additional information about
our products, please contact our toll-free customer hotline at
1-800-387-4636.� We recommend you read food labels carefully.� Please pass this information on to someone
you know who may benefit from this information.
