Shares Equipment With Items That Tree Nuts

This is not an ingredient but a precautionary statement indicating that a food product was manufactured on equipment that also processes tree nuts. It means there's a risk of cross-contamination, even if tree nuts are not an intentional ingredient.

This statement is added to food labels to inform consumers with tree nut allergies. It is typically found on products where cross-contamination is possible, such as baked goods, candies, and processed snacks.

This statement is a food safety measure, not an ingredient evaluation. The FDA requires clear labeling for major allergens to protect consumers. Individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid products with this statement to prevent an allergic reaction.
