Is Mr Kipling suitable for a nut allergy sufferer?
Mr. Kipling produced a range of cakes which include nuts are part of their ingredients. We include a ‘May Contain Nuts’ statement on our wider range of Mr. Kipling Cakes as we cannot guarantee the absence of nuts owing to our product range and manufacturing methods.
This advice, covers, almonds, walnuts and pecans which we use as ingredients in Mr. Kipling and other brands. Whilst we strictly control the use and segregation of these nuts within our bakeries, we still believe it appropriate to communicate the use of these nuts to our consumers.
Furthermore, the warning we use extends to cover ‘other’ tree nuts namely hazelnuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachio nuts and Macadamia (or Queensland nuts). We are unable to differentiate the risk to any specific nut.
Our knowledge of the supply chain and how these nuts are harvested, processed and traded means that these nuts may come into contact with other tree nuts – the risk will vary according to the country of origin, time of harvest, segregation and the like and could change during the year.
Is Mr Kipling suitable for a peanut allergy sufferer?
We can confirm that we do not use peanuts as an ingredient in our Mr. Kipling Cakes and they are also baked on sites that do not handle peanuts.
As you may know, tree nuts are a different allergen to peanuts. We have a number of cakes which contain nuts as an ingredient, and we also display a ‘May Contain Nuts’ statement on our packaging so that consumers can make an informed choice.

Do your cakes contain palm oil?
I would like to reassure you that 100% of the palm oil we source is certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the leading independent certifying body. All our palm oil suppliers also have policies which covers No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation of Labour, and these have been in place for several years before this became the new RSPO standard in late 2019. Consequently, this means that the palm oil we use only comes from certified sustainable sources, which avoid damaging the tropical rainforests and biodiversity of Southeast Asia.
With that being said, I expect you are wondering why we cannot just stop using palm oil – sustainable or not. This is a commonly asked question and one I hope to answer below.
Replacing palm oil with other types of vegetable oil would require much larger amounts of land to grow, since palm trees produce 4-10 times more oil than other crops per unit of cultivated land. This would result in serious environmental damage, with the risk that more forests would need to be converted into agricultural land.
Palm oil also plays a vital role in the reduction of poverty in areas where palm is grown and stopping the production of palm oil altogether would impact the 4.5 million families across Malaysia and Indonesia who rely on the industry to feed their families.
So, as you can see, it's not as simple as replacing or eliminating palm oil but we do recognise the need to source it responsibly, hence our work to source only RSPO certified palm oil.

Why don't you use years on Best Before dates?
Where products have a relatively short shelf life (under 3 months), it is sufficientunder the food regulations to state just the day and month in the "Best Before" panel.
As a seasoned food industry expert and enthusiast with a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of food production and safety, I can confidently address the various concepts discussed in the provided article about Mr Kipling cakes.
Firstly, regarding the question of freezing Mr Kipling cakes, the company explicitly advises against it. I can attest that freezing can alter the texture and quality of certain baked goods, and Mr Kipling emphasizes the optimal enjoyment of their cakes within the designated use-by date.
In terms of allergy considerations, the article provides detailed information about the inclusion of nuts in some Mr Kipling products. The 'May Contain Nuts' warning is a common practice in the food industry, given the challenges in ensuring absolute absence of cross-contamination. The company is transparent about the presence of almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachios, and Macadamia nuts in their products.
For those with peanut allergies, Mr Kipling reassures consumers that peanuts are not used in their cakes, and production sites are peanut-free. This reflects a commitment to allergen management and consideration for individuals with different types of nut allergies.
The article also addresses dietary preferences by listing Mr Kipling products suitable for a vegetarian diet. This demonstrates the company's awareness of diverse dietary needs. The provided list of vegetarian-friendly products, including slices, pies, tarts, and puddings, showcases their commitment to offering options for various preferences.

The information about palm oil usage is particularly noteworthy. Mr Kipling emphasizes their use of RSPO-certified palm oil and elaborates on the challenges associated with completely eliminating palm oil. This reflects a nuanced understanding of sustainability issues and the complex considerations involved in ingredient sourcing.
Lastly, the article addresses the absence of years on Best Before dates for products with a relatively short shelf life. This practice aligns with food regulations and streamlines labeling for products with shorter expiration periods.
In conclusion, Mr Kipling's article demonstrates a commitment to transparency, ethical sourcing, and catering to diverse consumer needs, making it evident why they are a trusted name in the food industry.
