(CHICAGO) January 29, 2024 – Yowie will be removing the “nut-free” claim from their surprise inside chocolate packaging and adding this notice on all new production packaging moving forward: “Manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts and tree nuts, but not on the same equipment.” Yowie chocolate remains nut-free, however the manufacturing facility in New York state producing the delicious surprise-inside Yowie chocolates is now producing chocolate containing tree nuts/peanuts in an adjacent section of the plant.
We want to assure our fans that we take nut allergies seriously. While our Yowie treats continue to be crafted on our dedicated nut-free machinery, we’re making this packaging change to be completely transparent about the possibility of cross-contamination. It’s crucial to emphasize that our Yowie chocolate recipe is staying the same, free of peanuts and tree nuts, made with the same consistent dedication to quality since 2014.
Join us on a snacking adventure to raise awareness about wildlife conservation through our six clever and mysterious bigfoot characters: Rumble, Crag, Ditty, Squish, Boof and Nap. Join the adventure to find the bigfoot at www.yowie.com, on Facebook, look for @YowieWorld on Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.
