How safe is our product for NutAllergy Sufferers?
In the 9 years since Kinnerton first segregated its production facilities, we have produced well in excess of 250 million packs of chocolate based around our nut segregated facilities and we have never had a verified nut incident. That figure becomes more meaningful, because the very people who have most to lose from Nut Contamination, because they suffer from Nut Allergy, are the very people who have TARGETED Kinnerton Nut Promise products.
How do we achieve this?
Like most Confectioners, we have Nuts (but no Peanuts) as a vital part of our ingredients. By way of example: Almonds for Marzipan, Hazelnuts for Pralines and Walnuts for Walnut Whips. So we have nuts on our premises and always have had. What we have tried to do since 1999 is to take Good Manufacturing Practices a huge leap forward by segregating our factory in to distinct zones – those with nuts in the ingredients and those without. In 1999, this cost us over £1,000,000 to achieve and the cost of maintaining it means that in effect we are running 2 factories on one site.
