GoPicnic, we have never used any food products that contain
any peanuts or peanut ingredients due to customer concerns
regarding allergy risks,” states Julia Stamberger, president
and co-founder of GoPicnic. “The addition of the recent
recalls, especially given their impact on schools who use
peanut-based products for meals and fundraisers, further
reinforces our commitment to avoiding peanut ingredients in
