MILK ALLERGY NOTICE
October 1, 2004
TO: Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network Members
FROM: The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and The Kellogg North
America Company
RE: Ingredient Notification for Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts
We want to thank you for sharing your thoughts with us after learning of
our plan to add whey to all Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts toaster pastries. It is
important for you to understand that whenever we make decisions involving
the use of food allergens, our intent, first and foremost, is to ensure the
safety of our products for food allergic consumers.
To respond to your concerns, and because we understand the challenges
facing food allergic consumers, we are pleased to announce that after a
thorough reassessment and full consideration of your requests, we have
decided to continue to offer Kellogg’s fruit flavored Pop-Tarts and
Kellogg’s Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts without a milk ingredient.
PLEASE NOTE, however, that the following flavors of Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts
toaster pastries will continue to contain a milk ingredient, which is
clearly labeled on the package: Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Vanilla Crème,
Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Hot Fudge Sundae, S’Mores,
Yogurt Blast Strawberry, Yogurt Blast Blueberry, French Toast and all
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Pastry Swirls and Pop-Tarts Snak-Stix.
Kellogg has had a close and beneficial relationship with the Food Allergy &
Anaphylaxis Network over the years. This has allowed us to be on the
forefront of consumer-friendly food allergy labeling. All Kellogg’s brand
packages are labeled with the eight ingredients recognized by the FDA as
the most frequent cause of allergic reactions. These are listed in a
separate box directly below our Nutrition Facts panel. We encourage you to
ALWAYS check the ingredient statement on EACH package you purchase for the
most up-to-date information on the ingredients contained in that particular
package.
We hope that you will remember that Kellogg’s has your best interests in
mind and we will continue to be sensitive to your needs.
Consumers with questions regarding this product announcement can contact
Kellogg Company toll-free at (800) 962-1413 Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm
ET or visit the website at Kelloggs.com.
This mailing has been funded by The Kellogg North America Company to be
sure you are aware of the situation.
