Do you have a list of all the allergens in your facility? (Updated 2025)

Our Rice Products (packaged, Sprouted or bulk) facility is allergen free. 

Our Rice Cake facility contains soy, sunflower oil. 
Our Thin Stacker facility contains mustard. 
Our Mini Rice Cake facility contains milk and sunflower oil. 
Our Chocolate Rice Cake facility contains tree nuts (hazelnut and coconut), milk, soy and sunflower oil. 
Our Rice Chip facility contains wheat, soy, mustard, sunflower oil and corn. 
Our 90 Second pouches are in a facility that contains peanuts (peanut oil), tree nuts, milk and milk products, eggs, wheat or grains that contain gluten, fish, Crustacea(shell fish), soy (soy oil), sulfites, sesame seed, mustard, sunflower oil, celery and corn.
Our Heat and Eat Bowl facility contains milk and wheat. 
Our Risottos and Entrees facility contains tree nuts (coconut), milk, soy, sesame seed, mustard, sunflower oil, celery and corn.
Our Rice Syrup facility contains tree nuts, milk and milk products, wheat or grains that contain gluten, fish, crustacea(shell fish), soy (soy oil), sulfites, sesame seed, mustard, celery and corn.

Is sunflower oil or sunflower lecithin used on the Rice Cakes line as a production aid?

Sunflower oil or lecithin (expeller pressed, refined) is used on the Regular Rice Cake line as a lubricant / manufacturing aid. The amount is so minute that it is not included as an ingredient, but there is a slim chance of cross contamination. 

 

Why does the Chocolate Thin Stackers say "May Contain: Milk"

We have a may contain statement for milk in our Chocolate Thin Stackers because there may be a slight chance of cross containment with milk and our chocolate.

Cross Contamination: Mustard and Quinoa

There is a slim chance of mustard cross contamination in our quinoa facility.

There is Wild Mustard that grows in fields near our quinoa and since quinoa and mustard seed have a similar size, shape and weight, there is no way we can guarantee that every mustard seed will be removed during processing.

Our dry, packaged rice is processed at a separate facility, so there is no chance of cross contamination.

Allergen Statement

We are active on the Board of Directors for the Food Allergen Research and Resource Program, which works with research institutions, governmental authorities, consumer groups, and scientific societies around the globe to share our experience and knowledge to improve the safety of food products for consumers with food allergies.

We strive to continuously improve all of our food safety programs and provide clear, concise and transparent information to help our consumers make informed, healthy and safe food choices for your family.

How do you label your allergens on packaging? 

At Lundberg, we take allergens seriously and follow a strict honesty policy when labeling products. When an allergen is present in a product the ingredient list will say “contains allergens” and list the allergen in BOLD.
Our in-house cleaning policies ensure that all products with allergens are appropriately processed and stored. Any item in our warehouse that contains allergens will be stored separately from products without allergens and we schedule non allergen products to run before products that contain allergens. The line is cleaned before and after every variety is run and tested for cleanliness after allergens have been run. Since this process is so thorough, we don’t note “may contain allergens” or “processed in a facility that contains” on our products.
“May Contain” is sometimes used when there is potentially an allergen on a shared line or if a supplier has an allergen on a shared line. It may also be used if there is a high risk of cross contamination.
