Do you allow your kids to eat items "made in a facility" or "made on shared equipment?"

I try not to Hayley -- especially for school lunches. However, she has had food marked that way before. But just because she eats it once without incident doesn't mean it's safe. Because the warning on those products is for the oops incident where a piece or residue was left on the equipment.
