NESTLÉ SMARTIES UPDATE
In response to your need for
foods that are peanut/nut-safe, Nestlé 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 Nestlé 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 Nestlé 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)
·
Smarties
Eggs -- 46g** and 170g
·
Snowballs
-- 43g and 170g
·
Smarties
Ice Cream -- 110 mL mini cups, IL, and 2L
**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.
