Companies' Good (mostly) Label Policies

Labels are all over the place! The food labels have to state the allergen above a certain threshold. However, particularly for peanut and treenut, sensitive kiddos like mine can have a severe reaction below that amount. So it is very important to know if items are made on the same line and same equipment. We seem able to get this information for peanuts and treenuts but not for soy. Only time will tell if that's ok for Gus. I am making a twin post for brands I am uncomfortable with. Here are some manufacturers that seem committed to labeling for possible cross contamination or they have a comprehensive allergy friendly manufacturing policy readily accessible:
