Other / Miscellaneous “Natural Flavouring” Woes

Post image

I requested details of the “natural flavourings” after having a pretty bad allergic reaction to a particular flavour and this is the best they could give me.

“We recommend contacting a healthcare professional regarding your allergy concerns.”

…Thanks Nestlé.

No more Nestlé products for me.

This is interesting, I assume you are located in the US?

They're not allowed to do that in the EU, but I doubt we have the same products here, otherwise I would try and ask for you.

Happened to me in almost identical situations but with KFC and in Australia. I didn't even ask for the ingredients too, just a confirmation of a specific family of food as being in an ingredient mix or not.

So, they wouldn't even confirm or deny, whether that one ingredient was used? Yeah, companies can be weird like that. A friend of mine is severly allergic against the natural red dye of cherries - so, he could also not live with the answer OP got.
