As always, everyone who calls FAAN about a product is instructed to call 
the manufacturer if they haven't already done so.

Goldie's Natural Rice Crunch Carob Bar - (privacy) 
called to tell us her 7-year-old son, allergic to milk and egg, had a 
reaction.  He ate a small portion of this bar and soon after his eyes got 
itchy and he broke out in hives over much of his body.  She gave him 
Benadryl and EpiPen Jr.  When she called the manufacturer she was told that 
when they get in the big block of carob it could have traces of milk.  He 
said they plan to change their labels, which currently say "no milk" on the 
front and list no milk ingredients.
