We want every customer to feel confident and informed before they shop with us — and we appreciate you asking!
At NY Spice Shop, we carry a wide variety of products under one roof — from spices and herbs to nuts, dried fruits, teas, candies, and more. Because all of these products are handled and packaged in the same facility, there is a possibility of cross-contact with common allergens. For that reason, every product we sell carries the following advisory:
"Shares equipment with peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, soy, eggs, & sesame."
This means that even if a product does not contain these allergens as an ingredient, trace amounts could be present due to shared equipment.
If you or someone in your household has a food allergy or sensitivity, we kindly encourage you to review the allergen information listed on each product page before ordering. When in doubt, please don't hesitate to reach out to us — we're happy to help you find products that work best for your needs.
Your health and safety mean the world to us, and we're always here if you have questions.
