UK BRAND REVIEW: Nomo Chocolate

UPDATE 2024: Please be aware that one of the prodcuts NOMO has now contains CHICKPEAS. The company has expressed that if you are allergic to chickpeas then you shouldn’t eat any of the other chocolate. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to eat this brand, however, if you are not allergic then this brand review still holds true. Enjoy if you can!

I have never met an allergy reactor who doesn’t know what it feels to be left out of situations, events, celebrations and so much more. Most people who are allergic to nuts and dairy find it really hard to eat chocolate, especially if you are allergic to both! Kinnerton was the main chocolate company for nut allergy reactors in the UK whilst I was growing up, as they implement a ‘nut safety promise’.

Kinnerton does use ‘Milk, Soya, Nuts, Peanuts, Eggs & Wheat/Gluten. Detailed protocols are implemented to ensure the risks of cross contamination are minimised but where the risks for a particular allergen cannot be eliminated this will be indicated on the packaging. Whilst we always maintain that there are no GUARANTEES in life, we have spent over £1 million to keep Nuts OUT of our segregated and walled off non nut Factory. This results in 5 of our production lines being able to offer up chocolate products for children and adults that are produced in controlled conditions on machinery that never runs nut products.’

After 20 years of Kinnerton creating a trusted ‘free from’ chocolate brand they created a sister company called NOMO. NOMO went a step further in the free from world, producing vegan chocolate- free from dairy, gluten, egg & nuts (peanuts and tree nuts). NOMO’s mission is to provide chocolate for everybody, their brand stands for No Missing Out. The brand understands the importance of allergies and goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that their products are safe from those allergens. They start their ‘free from’ process at the beginning, with their suppliers, which means that through every step we can have confidence that we are being protected. If you have any questions about the process please email them at Hello@NOMOChoc.com. If you still have more questions, please go to the FAQ page on their website HERE.
