Does anyone know if WF is safe for people with nut allergies? Do they make the fondant on equepment that uses nuts etc...
hmmm good question... I went and looked at my can of meringue powder and it doesn't say it was manufactured on equipment that processes tree nuts and peanuts... the wbsite doesn't say anything either. I would give them a call if it's an issue
ok I will...maybe ill refrain from using it...im doing a barbie cake...
ill call though
The only nut type product that comes to mind is the peanut butter candy melts.
About a year ago another Wilton instructor in my area did a class for mothers who had kids that were severly allergic to nuts, without any issue. Mind you I don't know if they did fondant.
All their literature says is "certified kosher" - by law, they're required to report if their materials are produced in a factory that also processes nuts!
I know of no such law. I do know they are trying to make it a law. It's my understanding that a lot of food manufacturers do put that on the label as a CYA measure

All the Wilton candy melts may contain traces of peanuts and nuts - the packages are just not labelled. That means they are NOT safe for consumption by anyone with a sensitivity or allergy.

This is scary...As posted, the paste colours in the larger containers are not peanut/nut free - they've just recently been labelled. The colours that are in the smaller containers (ie princess colours set or the pooh bear colours) are safe.
This topic is near and dear to my heart and scares me to death.
Just found my e-mail - Fondant - no peanuts or tree nuts in it but tree nuts are present in the facility - according to Wilton who add that the information they gave me is "to the best of our knowledge believed to be accurate."
DON'T USE THE FONDANT...MAKE YOUR OWN! 
My son has a milk and egg allergy. I thought the color spray and candy eyes were safe because it's "processed in a facility" which means a separate line or good manufacturing practices. We ended up in the hospital after a severe allergic reaction. Do not take the chance!
