Pirate's Booty - Ahoy Mateys! Great Info from Pirate Brands themselves!!

After having posted about one of our family's favorite snacks, Veggie Pirate Booty, I received the italicized information below directly from Emily Anschlowar, a dietician at their company.  I have already gotten comments regarding whether individuals would or wouldn't purchase their products because of milk products also being manufactured at their company.

S.A.F.E. Info on Allergen Control Programs


Thanks Emily!!

As part of our overall Allergen Control Program, the following protocols help us to ensure the safety of our products for your family and families like yours:

1. Between each run, batch, or flavor all parts of the processing and bagging equipment are thoroughly cleaned and completely sanitized.

2. To reduce the potential for cross-contamination, we identify allergens throughout the manufacturing process; schedule non-allergen production prior to allergen production runs, minimize traffic of raw materials, packing supplies, and employees during the manufacturing of allergen containing products.

3. Pirate Brands spot checks products for gluten and dairy. (Please note that the facility where our products are made is free of egg, treenut, peanut, fish and shellfish.) We test incoming raw materials and validate our cleaning techniques processing equipment and finished products with a highly sensitive, validated ELISA test.

If you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.

  1. Any single group must be subjected to the 3 validation cleaning requirement,
    except if a rationale is recorded and also approved by the Standard Authority
    which the worst-case product of one group is clearly a worst-case product for every one of the groups.
    Software validation is a part of the design validation for a finished device,
    but is not separately defined in the Quality System regulation.
