Why on earth not? If they take all dietary restrictions into account .. gluten, dairy, vegans, soy and whatnot .. there is nothing left. Sometimes I wonder about those complains .. like that lady on FB being bothered about retinoids in the lipstick of the LE box while she was breastfeeding (never mind that those are perfectly safe for nursing moms anyways ... )
Thanks for this comment. Exactly what I was thinking. While I feel bad for people that get things they can't use (earrings with no pierced ears, food restriction), that is the risk we take for the awesomeness that is a randomly curated PopSugar box each month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Why on earth not?

Sorry .. caught up in a mini rant.
I have celiac and can not eat gluten. I'm also allergic to pretty much everything. I would never even think about complaining that I can't eat the snacks.. like its one small snack not my last supper. I didn't complaine last month when we got that super cute cookie mix and everyone posted the super yummy pics. I think of the food as like a freebie and happily pass them on to hubby or sil. Some people are beyond crazy to expect that they can accommodate everyone.. its the chance we take with boxes!!Thanks for this comment. Exactly what I was thinking.

I'm on the Ketogenic diet so fruit wouldn't work for me. They would have to send us all a cauliflower or a head of lettuce... :rotfl:And really, if you took into account everyone's food allergies or foods that people are choosing to abstain from then they would just send us pieces of whole fruit as our treat for the month to appease everyone. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a piece of chocolate instead of an apple.
You know what's even worse? A chocolate vegan wedding cake! When neither bride or groom are strict vegans! Ugh, that was such a disgusting and ugly wedding cake. I'm sorry, but if it is a pastry or baked dessert, and vegan, it is no longer a dessert! This brownie proves it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />I wasn't looking forward to the brownie before, I have never found a single vegan product to taste good to me, but now I am really not looking forward to it!
I think most subscription boxes don't specifically accommodate food allergies because of liability issues. If they send food items and say they're "item"-free...and then they are wrong, or the wrong item gets sent etc, or they have a different idea of what is allergy free, and somebody has a reaction then they're completely on the hook for it. Today people will sue for anything. So they just don't claim or send any specific type of product.I have celiac and can not eat gluten. I'm also allergic to pretty much everything.
