Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I just ordered a case of 5-lb boxes of Better Batter...nowhere did I get any cross-contamination warnings while ordering, yet now I see on the box a x-contamination warning for soy, tree nuts, dairy AND eggs!! All things I am allergic to. ^%$#^ & *%$# Sometimes I truly HATE ordering things online. Has anyone had issues with reacting to this mix? I don't even WANT to try it, am thinking I will have to return it...and I have 45 pounds of it in my house right now! Help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 If it's any help, Better Batter provided us the following information when we started carrying their product: Test for Gluten down to 10ppm and Dairy down to 10ppm each batch. No latex gloves are used in production. Ingredients are sourced for potential allergens, the highest standards for cleaning including a HACCP protocol is used, and staff are educated in cross contamination From the look of things I would say the product is co-packed and is done on shared lines : WITH Dairy, Casein, Lactose, Whey, Tree Nuts (almonds), Egg, Soy Protein, Soy Lecithin, Soy Oil, Salt, Cane and Corn Sugar HTH BL On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 11:43 AM, amberlyn1 <amber_brown wrote: > I just ordered a case of 5-lb boxes of Better Batter...nowhere did I > get any cross-contamination warnings while ordering, yet now I see on > the box a x-contamination warning for soy, tree nuts, dairy AND eggs!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Has anyone with allergies to those items used it successfully?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I actually met the one woman from the company at the celiac seminar in Pittsburgh last month. She has dairy allergies and one girl working with her also has problems with dairy, eggs and soy, and they both where eating it! The girl told me she used it all the time for everything! I tried the funnel cakes they where making and I didn't notice any problems, and I can't do dairy or eggs. The woman assured me that I didn't have to worry about cross contamination. I know that companies have to mark on the packaging if allergens are in the same facility. Make up a small batch of something and only eat one small bite to see if you notice any problems. If you have a reaction I'm sure the company would refund your money. Even if you don't want to take a chance with it, write or call the company and express your concern and request a refund. Some companies are reluctant to issue a full refund at first and may offer a partial refund. Keep pressuring them to get all your money back! I've always been able to get full refunds. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks, but don't give up. They should be clear and up front about all allergens from the start! I haven't actually bought anything from better batter because I think they are way over priced to begin with! The people I talked to at the seminar seemed really friendly and willing to answer any questions/concerns, so they should be easy to deal with. Hope this info is of some help to you. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 when I spoke to Naomi a while back she said she has to put those warnings on her packaging because she mixes it in her kitchen and she also cooks with those ingredients in her kitchen. however, she says there is no danger of cross contamination. We're very sensitive and have had no problems.

I checked with Naomi before I touched it and neither my daughter or I have had any problems. she has those warnings because those allergens are in her manufacturing plant (i.e. her kitchen). there is no danger of cross contamination and believe me, we'd know in our household if Shira or I had any soy, dairy or eggs. the side effects are unpleasant.
