allergies

Does Kraft Foods have any plans to eliminate the use of cottonseed oil in their products? I and thousands of others are highly allergic to cottonseed oil. It is becoming increasingly difficult
to find crackers, cookies, bread crumbs,etc. that do not say “soy
bean and or cottonseed oil”.
Thank you for your question. At Kraft Foods we understand the challenges that exist for people with allergies and make every effort to offer a wide variety of products for those consumers. At this time, we do not have specific plans to remove highly refined oils, such as cottonseed oil, from our products as they do not contain protein and are not considered allergens. However, we are continuously looking at ways to respond to consumer preferences and always welcome suggestions.

In your top-to-top meetings have retailers been pushing for more focus on the food safety topic? Have you received good feedback from the retailers on your initiatives?
The safety and quality of our products are of the highest importance to us -- as are the trust and confidence of our consumers and customers. While no system is perfect, at Kraft Foods we are driven by a philosophy of continuous improvement. Our retail customers share that philosophy.
