As for the Annie's link, I guess I don't see the definitive "no shared nut equipment on bunnies" part. Am I missing it? I see that the cereal DOES have shared equipment but no specifics either way on the bunnies. I see that it says they do tell you, but where do they say bunnies are not on shared equipment? Again, I don't have a box here in front of me, but I think a PP said it's not on the box.
The FAQ says: "However, we want you to know that some products are produced in a plant that processes foods containing wheat, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, crustaceans/shellfish, and egg. This is why we voluntarily chose to update our packaging to include this allergen information."
Basically they say that they will disclose the shared equipment products. Since they disclose it on some products, such as the cereal and not the bunnies, it sounds like they are not on shared equipment. You can always call and ask them or buy one box to start with and see what it says.
Pretzels are a choking hazard? Former President Bush aside, I don't think I've ever seen that on a list of choking hazards. They aren't any different than crackers or goldfish, IMO. Get sticks if you are really concerned. Raisins are a whole different story.
