For families managing dairy allergies, it's crucial to be aware that Teddy Grahams are not safe. The primary ingredient list for original Teddy Grahams includes milk, making them a direct source of dairy. Even if you are looking at varieties that might seem dairy-free, the manufacturing process poses a significant risk. Nabisco, the manufacturer, states that their products are not guaranteed to be free from milk due to shared equipment and facilities.
This means there is a high risk of cross-contamination, even if a specific flavor doesn't list milk as a direct ingredient. For parents, this means that Teddy Grahams should be avoided entirely to ensure your child's safety. Always double-check ingredient labels, as formulations can change, but the presence of milk in the original and the potential for cross-contamination make this a product to steer clear of.
