Hi JoAnna,

Thank you for your reply! I apologize for the misinformation. The facility that processes our coconut oil and coconut products is dedicated to coconut products only. It is free of gluten, milk/dairy, peanut, and tree nuts. Would you please let me know who you spoke with so I can update them?

If you have any questions, please reply to this email and a representative will be happy to assist you. Customer service is very important to us. We look forward to serving you again as the need arises!

Have a wonderful day!

Dr.Bronners is safe I called them and they said there is no cross contamination with nuts and peantuts or gluten.

Products Description:
 Our white kernel and whole kernel VCO is cold-pressed from fresh carefully dried coconuts, giving it a delicious aroma. Versatile and healthy, VCO can be used for stir-frying, sauces, baking and body care. Extensive field research in the tropics shows that people who follow a traditional diet high in coconut oil enjoy excellent cardiovascular health. Clinical research confirms that VCO improves blood cholesterol by increasing the ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol, due in part to saturated medium chain fatty acids (MCT's) such as lauric.
Whole kernel oil, which is made from the kernel with its "parings" is more nutritious and has a slightly nuttier flavor whereas white kernel oil offers a choice to consumers who are familiar with this grade. Both grades are versatile and healthy along with being organic and fair trade.

  2. 3 Studies SHOW Why Coconut Oil Kills Belly Fat.

    This means that you literally burn fat by eating Coconut Fat (in addition to coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

    These 3 researches from big medicinal magazines are sure to turn the traditional nutrition world upside down!
