I have failed to find it locally so would like to order online, but no-one knows if its nut free, I dont want to order and waste it. Does anyone have some, if so could you check and tell me who's make you have so I can source some that will actually get used.
Thanks

Flax seed isn't a nut, but I know someone who is allergic to nuts and flax, the latter largely because it is often packaged/processed in a factory where nuts are also processed. I think that's the key thing to watch out for. Holland and Barrett sell milled flax but it carries a packaging warning.

Yes i know flax is a seed its just whether i can find some thats packed in a safe nut free environment.

Found some two bags in holland and barrett one at £5 with a nut and soya warning, one safe bag without warnings
£11 :wacko:

Got home ten mins ago to find hubby in the kitchen trying bread, I think he maybe dissappointed with the results but we will let him see for himself

I searched for allergen free flax seed and this came up. There should be a section where you can "Ask a question about this product" somewhere on the page. You could post a question and see if anyone responds or see if you can contact the manufacturer directly. It's been rate by several people so maybe one of them could answer as to what the packaging actually says.
I know that here I can buy the seed or the meal and I've read somewhere that it's better to buy the seed and mill it yourself in a coffee grinder or similar.
Either way, hope that helps :)
