  • Does Vegenaise ® contain any common allergens?

    Vegenaise ® is free of eggs, milk products, wheat, gluten, corn, yeast, and starch. Soy protein is used in very small amounts as an emulsifier and comprises less than 2 percent of the total product.

  • How does your facility handle allergens to avoid cross contamination?

    We are very attentive to cross-contamination issues and with all of our products we implement allergen-conscious storage controls, and wash and sanitize any utensils that are used in processing products with different allergen profiles. Our Quality Control team conducts Allergen Changeover Inspections between runs of any products with different allergens. This inspection includes a visual check of all equipment and utensils as well as a test for organic material residue. There is a small possibility that our products could come in contact with airborne particles of potential allergens in our facility, but we do take all necessary precautions to ensure that there is no direct contact between products with different allergen profiles.
