SUNBUTTER® contains no peanuts or tree nuts!

 

SunGold SUNBUTTER® is made from sunflowers and is made in a peanut- and tree nut-free facility on equipment that has never processed peanuts or tree nuts. As an added measure of safety, SunGold Foods tests every lot (batch) of SUNBUTTER®.

SunGold Foods is committed to manufacturing SUNBUTTER® with the concerns of peanut allergy patients in mind. That means that people who can't risk exposing themselves or a family member to peanut or tree nut products now have a tasty and safe alternative.

SunGold SUNBUTTER® is Reliable!
SunGold SUNBUTTER® is made in the northern region of the country where peanuts can't grow, further reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Every batch of SUNBUTTER® is tested for the presence of peanuts using the Neogen ALERT® test which can detect peanut contamination at 5 parts per million.

SunGold SUNBUTTER® is New!
SunGold SUNBUTTER® was co-developed by USDA food scientists partly to address the growing peanut allergy problem. Sunflower is not a top eight allergen. Peanuts and tree nuts are in the top eight which cause 90% of all food allergy reactions. Over 3 million people are now allergic to peanuts, tree nuts or both. Many families are struggling to find tasty, but safe solutions to food choice concerns.

SunGold SUNBUTTER® —
Made with Your Safety in Mind

If you or someone you know suffer from a peanut or nut allergy, SunGold SUNBUTTER® was made for you. It tastes great and is made without peanuts or nuts and it's manufactured with the care your peanut allergy concerns deserve.

Making safe food choices can be one of the most difficult aspects of dealing with peanut allergies. Read labels completely and avoid products that have ingredients that might pose a risk. There are obvious ingredients to avoid such as ground or mixed nuts, beer nuts, cold pressed peanut oil, and peanut butter.

Peanut protein can also be "hidden" in the labels of some products.
Be wary of ingredients such as hydrolyzed plant protein, vegetable oil or protein, and natural flavorings. Non-food products also pose risks. Carefully examine ingredient labels of products such as dishwashing, hand and laundry soaps, shampoos, lotions, shaving creams and cosmetics.

Don't be misled by product names.
For example, a "peach-scented" or "cucumber and melon" skin product can also include oils derived from peanuts or nuts. learn to recognize uncommon names for ingredients that you need to avoid. For example, almond oil may also be listed as Prunus-amygdalus oil; Arachis oil is another word used to denote peanut oil.

These few examples are by no means a complete list. Consult your doctor. Check out the online support and discussion groups and up-to-date food label help and product recall information.
