If there were ANY thread I should have started here, it should have been this one first.
SO, if you have any product or place or experience where you have encountered peanuts . . . and it was a big, fat  SURPRISE . . .
PLEASE post those here.
Thank you.

I went to a pet store not long ago and the floor to my surprise had peanut shells all over the place!
I seriously couldn't believe it! A PET STORE!

Not an expert here, but as long as wording is changed, not a "copy and paste" then should be OK I would think.
If you (& others!) can keep working on this, it would be great. After a little bit, we might work to categorize things and organize it, knowing it will continue to be a work in progress, forever and forever! But GREAT start, THANK YOU!

some frozen tv dinners... I think it is some of the Stouffers Lean Cuisine that are made by Nestle that are labelled as 'may contain peanuts"
and some frozen pizzas too.. one of the healthy choices pizzas (by Delissio??) is labelled as "may contain peanuts"
so need to always check labels when buying frozen dinner entrees/pizzas

I don't know if this belongs here or in a Restaurant thread but the one that gets my goat lately is Pizza Hut red sauce.

I kind of missed the earlier posts on Pizza Hut. Not that we'll be going there, but do you think there really is a problem with the red sauce, or are they just doing a blanket statement for liability reasons?

One to watch out for -- Vons (Safeway) potato bread hot dog and hamburger buns. As of about three months ago peanut flour was listed in plain type (not bold) in the middle of the ingredient list. I check every now and then to see if anything's changed. There is a "processed in" statement at the bottom, but it was disclosing soy only. It would be very easy to miss.

From the list:
"machine-made fake smoke"
I have never heard of this one...can someone elaborate? Thanks!
Also we were surprised to find that the large "Bass Pro Shop" (hunting/fishing/camping type sporting goods store) had one of the nut roasting carts in there selling nuts...we could smell it as soon as we walked in throughout the store (I have heard this is common as these stores)- pretty sure it was only tree nuts, not peanuts.
Thanks!

Some one "over there" said that the supplier that makes the red sauce for Pizza Hut also makes sauces for Chinese restaurants, and can't guarantee that some of their peanut stuff doesn't end up in the red sauce.

Yes, several years ago a nurse friend told me of a PA man who had an anaphylactic reaction to fake smoke - you know like might be used in the theater (not dry ice). It turned out the "smoke" had some type of peanut product in it.

We were sitting in a restaurant very near where the food was placed, waiting to be brought to the tables by the servers. The server in charge of that area had a small, rolled up, wet towel that she was using to wipe off the rims of all the plates. It was very obviously being used repeatedly. So, was consequently contaminating every plate it touched with whatever foods it had just wiped of the prior plates. A cross contamination nightmare.
Also, a local BBQ place uses PN oil to oil it's wooden cutting board.
