From MOCHA Mom Suzanne Mahoney comes this about Krispy Kremes:

Last year I looked into Krispy Kreme to see if a mom could bring them to my daughter’s class for a treat. I called and spoke with someone and also received a similar letter stating they they do not knowingly add nut product to he ingredients. However, they could not be sure that some cross contamination had not occurred where the ingredients were produced. I figured they were covering their behind.

I went on their web site and I believe it was under the Canadian part of the web site that listed all the ingredients. I found out that ingredients such as crushed graham cracker crumbs are added to give crunch instead of nuts. Things that may look like nuts are not.

I then called the exact location where the mom was to purchase the donuts. The counter representative I spoke with had worked there for many years. She told me that they decided to make all of their products nut free.

I allowed the donuts to be brought to class. I almost went to photograph my daughter eating her first donut and first commercial bakery good. It turns out she didn’t like them!!
