Review of Vermont Nut Free Chocolates

One of the things I love about being involved in the food allergy community is meeting other people fighting the fight!

The Food and Drug Administration has recently warned that products containing the spice cumin may contain peanut protein which is not disclosed on product labels. If you have a peanut allergy, the FDA says you should avoid not only the products which were recalled, but “take precautions” with any product that contains cumin.
