Hello,For those who are able to eat soy (They also make coconut ice cream.), this is a delicious ice cream. You should always check the label, and this label mentions that it uses safe procedures to ensure it does not have cross contamination with several different allergens. In a moment of desperation and rare courage I decided to allow my daughter to try this ice cream. She is usually scared to try new things, but she wanted to eat ice cream so much that she decided to try this one. She did not have a severe reaction, but she did break out. She was fine with that, she said she didn't mind the itching because she got to eat ice cream, but I did. I just didn't feel safe. I don't know if the breakout was from traces of something she is allergic to or if it was just from soy. We later found out that even though her numbers were low and the doctor said she could eat it, every time she tried soy she broke out. So, we are avoiding soy again. I am just glad that we finally found the ice cream recipes from Vance's (which I have posted here) and the ones from The Super Allergy Girl Cookbook. They have helped us give our daughter ice cream and we are very thankful.
Here is the link if you would like to learn more about So Delicious Soy Ice Cream or Turtle Mountain http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/products.html. I just noticed that they have started making an ice cream that contains peanuts/peanut butter. Please be careful, call, ask questions, and then if you feel comfortable start with something small like 1/8 tsp. of the product every 15 minutes for a number of days until you are sure your child will not react.
