Frequently Asked Questions

Allergies

Do Annie's products contain peanuts or tree nuts?

We always list peanuts and tree nuts in the ingredient statement on the package when a product contains peanuts or tree nuts.

Allergy Information

We recognize the needs of consumers who have allergies or sensitivities to nuts, gluten, certain spices, etc., which is why we fully disclose all ingredients on the ingredient statement on our packaging. Our packaging is the most accurate and up-to-date source for allergen and ingredient information. At Annie’s, we take every precaution to ensure that cross contamination of ingredients does not occur at any point in the process, including the farm where we source our ingredients, transportation and shipping, and production and packaging. Our manufacturing facilities have the highest standards of cleanliness and have documented and verified allergen handling policies. During production, we run our products in a particular order to reduce the risk of cross contamination, take the equipment apart and thoroughly clean it in between runs of product. We routinely test for the effectiveness of our allergen procedures.

Annie’s products are labeled for the following top eight allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, wheat, crustaceans, and fish. In addition, we also label for sesame. We label for these allergens using ‘CONTAINS’ and/or ‘MAY CONTAIN’ lists located directly below the product’s ingredient list. Ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation.

What's the difference between Certified Organic and "Made with Organic" Annie's products?

We are committed to supporting organic farming, which has positive impacts on soil health, biodiversity, water quality, animal welfare and more. Organic farming minimizes synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, while also using regenerative farming practices like crop rotations, cover cropping, biological pest control, and more.

Annie’s has both Certified Organic and Made with Organic products. Certified Organic products display the green and white USDA Organic seal and contain at least 95% organic ingredients, which were grown and processed according to strict rules set and enforced by the United States Department of Agriculture. The remaining 5% of ingredients do not have to be certified organic, but still need to meet a list of criteria to be permitted in Certified Organic foods.

Made with Organic products contain at least 70% organic ingredients. In our “Made with Organic Pasta” mac and cheese, for example, this means that the wheat is certified organic while the cheese is from non-organic farms. As we grow the amount of Certified Organic products in our portfolio, we’re also mindful of providing options to consumers who are not able or willing to pay premium prices for our Certified Organic products. Whenever possible, we provide both options to allow consumers to make the choice through clear labeling on our packaging.

Does Annie's use artificial flavor or colors?

Our products contain no artificial flavors or synthetic colors

How does Annie's make colored products - like orange mac & cheese or pink fruit snacks?

Annie’s uses colors that come from plants, like purple carrots, beets, and annatto—the seed of a tree that grows in South America.
