nomad2224 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I searched the forums but haven't found the answer specifically for Sunflower Seed Butter, so here's my predicament. I searched the shelves of the local health food store (in Canada) for a Sunflower Seed butter and came across a brand made by a company called "Nuts to You Nut Butter". It is a smooth, organic sunflower seed butter with no added sugar, salt, oils etc...just dry roasted sunflower seeds (that's all that is on the ingredients list). My issue is, on the label is a disclaimer, in BOLD: "May contain peanuts, tree nuts, and other seeds" Yikes! I really don't know if this is going to ruin my whole30, but I suspect it's ok judging from the answers I've seen from other people's posts concerning the labeling by manufacturers for those with severe allergic reactions. I'm hoping that this is the case here, but I'm throwing the question out to there anyone with more experience in this area! I certainly think I can get through without the nut butter for 30 days, but I'd love to have that option with some fruit when I get in a situation where I need somthing to carry me over to my next meal. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product in question is most likely produced in a plant where products containing nuts are produced - they have to state this due to air born allergies/cross contamination etc., but we're going by the ingredients list here so you're good to go....

nomad2224 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks jmcbn! That clears my conscience. I will enjoy the nut butter (in moderation of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
