A label note for wheat allergy
Nutter Butters: what the available label data says

Listed allergen indicated
This is not a safety clearance. Compare it with the current physical package.
For a child with a wheat allergy, Nutter Butter cookies are not safe. The primary ingredient in Nutter Butters is enriched flour, which is derived from wheat. This means wheat is a direct ingredient in the cookies, posing a significant risk for anyone with a wheat allergy.
Beyond the direct wheat content, there's also the risk of cross-contamination. While Nutter Butters are manufactured by Nabisco, a division of Mondelez International, the facility where they are produced may also handle other products containing wheat. Therefore, even trace amounts of wheat could be present, making them unsafe for individuals with severe wheat allergies.
It is crucial to always check the ingredient list and allergen statements on food packaging, as formulations can change. For a child with a wheat allergy, it is best to avoid Nutter Butter cookies entirely and opt for certified wheat-free alternatives.
