Common Questions to Ask Brands
Tap "Copy" to copy a question to your clipboard before contacting a brand.
"Is [product] made on shared equipment with [allergen]?"
Cross-contact on shared lines is a leading cause of hidden allergen exposure.
"Has the manufacturing process changed since [date]?"
Facility changes, new co-packers, and reformulations can introduce new allergens without label updates.
"Do you test for allergen residue after cleaning?"
ATP swab or ELISA testing confirms cleaning effectiveness. Many brands do not test routinely.
"What is your cleaning protocol between production runs?"
Dry vs. wet cleaning, frequency, and validation methods all affect cross-contact risk.
"Is [allergen] handled anywhere in the same facility?"
"Same facility" warnings indicate aerosolized allergen risk even without shared equipment.
"Do your suppliers have allergen controls in place?"
Ingredient suppliers can introduce allergens before they even reach your manufacturer.
