  chocolate & nuts may cause food allergies

Chocolate & Nut Food Allergy

The Sweet Spot's candy contains lactose free dark chocolate, but we store our chocolate with different nuts and some recipes require sugar, cow's milk, nuts or other ingredients. Chocolate contains chemicals like caffeine that may cause food sensitivity side effects such as headaches.

Potential causes of chocolate allergy

The most common triggers of food allergies in chocolate products are nuts, cow's milk, wheat or gluten, soybeans or corn.

Espresso beans contain coffee and chocolateSome chemicals found in chocolate may cause side effects such as headaches. The side effects are not due to allergic reactions but a sensitivity to the chemicals commonly found in chocolate. Chemicals in chocolate that may cause reactions include caffeine, theobromine, phenylethylamine and tyramine. It is our suggestion to always read nutritional labels or ask about ingredients if you think you have a sensitivity to certain chemicals or foods.

The Sweet Spot's candy may contain nuts or nut traces, alcohol, and dairy products. Although no additional sugar is added to the dark chocolate, some of the ingredients for fillings contain sugar, nuts or other ingredients.
