More than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions in people with food allergies. However, these nine foods are the most common. That’s how they got the nickname “The Big Nine”! For those who are sensitive, a reaction can occur within minutes or hours, and symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. It is often recommended to avoid the offending food if you experience reactions to these foods. But what do you do when you experience severe reactions and many foods are processed in multi-product facilities?
This hits close to home.
Farmer Al’s granddaughter has a severe peanut allergy and must carry an EpiPen wherever she goes in case an allergic reaction would occur. Something as simple as an afternoon snack at a ballgame or a meal at a restaurant can quickly become a serious concern.
Our family began searching for a safe, allergen-friendly cooking oil. However, the grocery store shelves were full of oils produced in multi-product facilities, where cross-contamination with allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, or soy is a concern. Even when labels did not clearly state this information, further research revealed shared production environments and limited traceability.
This led Farmer Al to take a different approach. We now custom package Simply Sunflower Oil in our own independent, allergen-aware facility in North Loup, Nebraska, just seven miles from our family farm.
We have a safe cooking oil option that has no concern of cross-contamination with other allergens in the production process! We are proud to offer that same confidence and peace of mind to you too.
