• walnut hull extract (flavoring)

Please discuss with your board certified allergist the following information:

• Mortadella may contain pistachios. 

• There is no evidence that coconut oil and shea nut oil/butter are allergenic.
• Many experts advise patients allergic to tree nuts to avoid peanuts as well.
• Coconut, the seed of a drupaceous fruit (Drupe), has typically not been restricted in the diets of people with tree nut allergy.
• In October of 2006, the FDA began identifying coconut as a tree nut for labeling purposes. 
• Medical literature documents a small number of allergic reactions to coconut; most occurred in people who were not allergic to other tree nuts. Ask your doctor if you need to avoid coconut.
• Other nuts that may be missing from this list.
