Company allergen statement via email 9/08:
“We do not use eggs, milk, or any other dairy products in our Jelly Belly jelly beans.
We use peanut butter and peanut flour in our Peanut Butter flavor of Jelly Belly jelly beans. We do use peanut-based ingredients in our Peanut Butter flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans. It’s one of our most popular flavors. None of the other flavors contain peanuts (or any other nuts) as an ingredient. We feel it is important that you be aware that we produce all our Jelly Belly flavors on the same equipment. This means that it is possible for peanut oils or other peanut products to be transferred to any of our other candies. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that all flavors are 100% free of peanut products. To be safe, we regret that we must recommend that you avoid all of our products.”

“Do you process and pack products that contain allergens?
We manufacture and pack products made with Peanuts, Almonds, Milk, Egg and Soy in our facilities. We have common use lines which means we process and pack products which contain allergens on the same lines on which we process and pack products which do not contain allergens. Ferrara Pan has established an Allergen Policy which calls for the segregation of allergen-containing products from those products which do not contain allergens.
The Allergen Policy also calls for the segregation of different allergen-containing products and ingredients from each other. Ferrara Pan’s Allergen Policy requires a thorough, monitored cleaning of the common use lines when switching from allergen-containing products to non allergen-containing products, and requires multi-departmental inspections as well as stringent verification procedures. The precautions and procedures which Ferrara Pan has implemented are in place to assure our customers that Ferrara Pan manufactures its food products in a safe and responsible manner. However, because Ferrara Pan recognizes the serious challenges which people with food allergies face when making their food choices, we disclose to our customers that certain allergens are used in our facilities and those products containing allergens are manufactured and packed on the same lines as products which do not contain allergens.
