Here's the response he got (which implies that the candy corn is safe for peanut allergies...eat at your own risk):
Thank you for contacting Ferrara Candy Company regarding Brach's® Corn 'N Nut Mix. Hearing from our consumers better enables us to continue to provide quality products and services. Consumer feedback is very important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. Ferrara Candy Company takes allergen issues very seriously. Packages must be labeled appropriately for potential allergens. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines suggest labeling for at least the "Big 8" allergies. Brach's® Corn 'N Nut Mix is not intended or those with a peanut allergy. We clearly label the package with "Candy Corn & Peanuts" as well as include the appropriate allergen statement on the back of the package. Please note that the peanuts and Candy Corn are not packaged together in the same plant where the Candy Corn is manufactured. The Candy Corn is shipped in bulk containers to another facility where the Candy Corn and peanuts are mixed and packaged. Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your comments! Sincerely, Mallory Gold Consumer Relations
