What does it mean if a product is labelled “may contain”?
A product that includes the precautionary allergen labeling “may contain” in the ingredient list indicates that despite our best efforts there may remain a remote risk of peanut, tree nut or sesame seed presence. At Kellogg, all equipment is thoroughly cleaned when we switch between products. Kellogg operates under a science-based food safety system called Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point, which identifies hazards such as allergens. This food safety system also includes Good Manufacturing Practices – controls and procedures to prevent potential food safety hazards, including cross-contamination associated with allergens. Because Kellogg Canada makes every effort to avoid the need to use the “may contain” statement, only a limited number of our products carry this statement. The corn available for food manufacturing in North America contains traces of soy. For this reason, you will see the “contains traces” statement for our products containing corn in the ingredient list.
