When in doubt, always call the manufacturer.

For example, when Dempster's bread changed their packaging, they added
"may contain trace amounts of diary ingredients" (or something like it)
to the package.  I called them and was told that the manufacturing
process had not changed but they added the warning "just in case"
because other products in the plant contain diary.  We continued using
the bread (very tasty IMO), it's been over a year and so far no
problems.


Best wishes,
