Haagen Dazs is Nestle!  See below.  Joy





Thank you for contacting us.  Your comments regarding Häagen-Dazs® are very important to us.

In regards to your inquiry, there are eight major food allergens, including milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts
(such as walnuts and almonds), soy, wheat, fish and shellfish.  Labeling regulation requires that all
ingredients added to products be listed in the ingredient statement.  For these eight major allergens,
Nestlé ensures that they are labeled, regardless of the amount or whether a supplier may have added it
to their ingredient.  It is the responsibility of Nestlé to ensure that these ingredients are properly labeled
by their common or usual name in the ingredient statement.

We want to help our consumers avoid inadvertent ingestion of their specific allergens of concern by
accurately informing them about the product ingredients and by following Good Manufacturing
Practices in our factories.  All factories using a critical allergen as an ingredient must take all
reasonable precautions to avoid cross-contact of products that do not normally contain these allergens
and products that do not carry a specific mention in the ingredient statement.  These precautionary
measures include efficient cleaning of production lines and equipment and strict separation of
materials that may contain critical allergens.  If an allergen does not appear on the ingredient
statement, then it has not been added to the product and the likelihood of cross-contamination contact
is so extremely low that the risk is insignificant.

You may view the nutritional information for our products by visiting us at www.haagen-dazs.com,
clicking on a flavor and clicking on "ingredients & nutritional facts" located near the center of the

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and hope your inquiry was handled to your
satisfaction.

Sincerely,
Maryanne Makowski
Consumer Response Representative
