In answer to your request for information pertaining to the inclusion of potential food allergens in the products of Cascades supplied to your company, I am pleased to inform you that in our current processes, we do not intentionally add any of the following food allergens to our products:
milk
eggs
fish
Crustacea
tree nuts
wheat
peanuts
soybeans
gluten
sesame seeds
mustard Some chemicals containing components that use one or more of these allergens as a raw material are commonly used in the manufacture of paper. For instance, surfactants used as processing aids are typically highly substituted fatty acids derived originally from vegetable or animal oils. These may include soybean or peanut oils. Some adhesives contain natural polymeric materials derived from soybean or milk proteins. These polymers have been chemically shortened and substituted to provide specific adhesive characteristics and water insolubility. Although some of these chemical compounds may be found in the products supplied to you as a result of the use of recycled paper, they would not be expected to cause a food related allergic reaction due to the extensive chemical modifications and lack of expected migration.
