Allergy / Special Diet Information
Growing up with lots of Allergies
and having family members with severe reactions to some types of foods
has given us a clear understanding of how frustrating it can be to find
you are consuming items you choose not to, or, how fearful it can be
for a person with severe allergies to consume the wrong thing.
Therefore, this page is devoted to a listing of our products that
contain some of the more commonly known food
allergens.
We have made every attempt to list our products that may or may not fit special dietary needs. Most of the categories listed below are based on specific questions that we have previously received.
If you have a
question or need to know specific information on an ingredient of a
product due to allergies or special dietary needs, please contact us
directly. This info is to the best of our knowledge. Please call with
specific questions and we will be able to better assist you on actual
amounts of ingredients. We will be happy to address all requests and
will also be
happy to add this additional info to this list.
SPECIAL NOTE: Many of our ingredients come from facilities that also
process products containing peanuts, tree nuts, soybeans, milk, eggs,
fish, crustaceans, shellfish and wheat ingredients.
COMMON ALLERGENS:
MSG - The following dip mixes contain MSG, however, depending on your
tolerance for this, the only mix that we directly add the MSG to is the
Right on Ranch. The other 3 mixes listed below have trace amounts as
they are added into a flavor by the supplier.
Right on Ranch
Mellie's Mexi Mix
Pam's Hammy Onion
Bacon & Tomato
SEAFOOD - Currently our dip mixes do not contain any seafood products
but, as stated above, some of our ingredients may come from a facility
that processes fish or crustaceans.
NUTS - We do not have any dip mixes that contain nuts and do not have
nuts of any kind on the premises. However, as stated above, some of our
ingredients may come from a facility that processes peanuts or tree
nuts.
GLUTEN - We have received requests for Gluten content and are in the
process of determining which mixes contain Gluten. I have found some
helpful information and will continue to work on this. To date, most
persons who have Gluten allergies are very aware of the types of foods
they need to stay away from and have been able to determine which of
our mixes they should avoid. Please call us directly if you have any
questions in regards to a specific dip mix so that we may be able to
determine if it contains gluten.
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
SUGAR/DEXTROSE - The following dip mixes contain sugar or dextrose. If
the product is listed here, it contains either sugar or dextrose. I
have noted "dextrose" next to those products that contain only
dextrose. Also, most contain only a trace as it has been added to a
flavoring by the supplier and not directly by Pam's Pantry. I have
included a "T" for trace if it has not been directly added to the dip
mix:
Perfect Pickler
Sweet & Sassy Salsa
Gudrun's Great Glaze
Sandy's Super Slaw
Definitely Dill
Spinach Surprise (Dextrose) (T)
Veggie Delite (Dextrose) (T)
Pumpkin Pie
Strawberries N' Cream
Lemon Drop
Leanne's Luscious Lime
Tom's Tropical Treat
Creamsicle Dreamsicle
Just Peachy
Pineapple Passion
Razzle Dazzle Berry
Chocolate Cream Pie
SALT - The following dip mixes do contain salt. If you need to watch
your sodium, please contact us and we will check the actual salt
content. We have not directly added salt to these mixes, but
most
have a small trace of salt. For instance, any products that we use
Bacon Bits or Cheese in will contain salt as it is found in the Bacon
Bits and the Cheese Powder we use. Many of our customers are able to
consume the small amount that is found in our mixes. I have placed a
"T", for trace, beside any mix that we have not directly added salt to.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions in regards to this.

DAIRY - Very few of our dip mixes contain dairy products. However, many
of them are mixed with Sour Cream and/or Cream Cheese. All of the mixes
can be mixed with soy based products. If your real adventurous, check
our recipe section for directions on how to make your own soy sour
cream. The following dip mix packets do contain dairy ingredients (this
is pack ingredients only, not additional mix items):
Cheesy Garlic
Cheesy Bacon
Emma's Eazy Cheezy
Tom's Tropical Treat
Lemon Drop
Chocolate Cream Pie
VEGETARIAN - If you follow a vegetarian diet, there are no dip mixes
that should be excluded. All of our products that contain bacon or ham
are made from soy based imitation products and are safe for you to
consume.
Again, we want you to be confident in your purchases from Pam's Pantry.
