You might notice that some artificial almond extracts have a warning label saying they may contain tree nuts. This can be super confusing, especially if you're trying to avoid nuts altogether. The thing is, these labels are often just a precautionary measure, and the extract itself is still safe to use.
So, why do companies include these warnings? It's mostly because the extract might be manufactured in a facility that also processes real nuts. This means there's a tiny chance of cross-contamination, even if the extract itself is artificial. But don't worry, the risk is super low, and most companies take strict precautions to avoid any contamination.
