Nut Free Chocolate
No Nuts. No Compromises. No Exceptions — 100% Nut Free Chocolate
At Sweet William, nut free chocolate means exactly that. Not "low in nuts." Not "made with equipment that may have processed nuts." Every single product we make is completely and unconditionally free from peanuts and tree nuts — and our facility makes sure it stays that way. For the millions of Australians living with a nut allergy, we know that the stakes couldn't be higher. That's why we've built our entire operation around a promise we never break.
A 100% Dedicated Nut Free Facility
The most important thing we can tell you is this: no nuts of any kind have ever entered our factory.
Sweet William operates a completely dedicated nut free facility. Peanuts, tree nuts, and any nut-derived ingredients are entirely absent from our site — not just from our production lines, but from the building itself. There are no shared surfaces, no shared equipment, no risk of cross-contamination from a neighbouring product run. Nuts simply don't exist in our world.
This is the gold standard of nut free manufacturing, and it's the only standard we've ever known.
Why a Dedicated Facility Matters So Much
Nut allergies — particularly peanut allergy — are among the most serious food allergies a person can have. Even tiny trace amounts of nut protein can trigger a severe anaphylactic reaction in highly sensitive individuals, which is why the word "dedicated" carries so much weight.
Many products labelled "nut free" are made in facilities that also process nuts, relying on cleaning procedures between runs to manage cross-contamination risk. For most people this might be fine — but for those with severe nut allergies, even that level of residual risk is too much.
We eliminate that risk entirely. If you or someone you love has a serious nut allergy, Sweet William is chocolate you can choose with confidence.
Every Nut. Every Time.
When we say nut free, we mean all of them. Sweet William products are free from:
Peanuts — one of the most common triggers for anaphylaxis, peanuts are completely absent from our entire facility and all our products.
Tree Nuts — including almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts. None of these are used in any Sweet William product, and none are permitted on our site.
There are no exceptions, no seasonal specials, no limited editions that sneak nuts in. Our commitment is absolute across the entire range, all year round.
How We Keep It Nut Free: Our Testing & Procedures
Our nut free status isn't just a policy — it's a verified, tested, and independently certified commitment. Here's how we back it up:
Ingredient Supplier Screening
Every ingredient that comes into our facility is rigorously screened at supplier level. We don't simply accept supplier declarations — we verify that all incoming ingredients are free from nut contamination before they ever reach our production floor.
Strict In-House Procedures
Our team follows documented production procedures designed to maintain allergen-free integrity at every stage. These form part of a comprehensive Food Safety Program that has been in place for over a decade.
Regular Batch Testing
We regularly send product samples to independent laboratories for allergen analysis. This means every batch of Sweet William chocolate is verified against our allergen-free promise — not just assumed to be safe.
International Food Safety Certification
Sweet William meets the International Standard ISO22000 and is audited against FSSC22000, benchmarked as equivalent to SQF2000 and BRC by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). These certifications represent the highest tier of food safety assurance available anywhere in the world.
Nut Free Chocolate and So Much More
At Sweet William, no single allergen commitment exists in isolation. Our entire range is also:
No milk, no dairy proteins, no lactose in any product or anywhere in our facility.
Our entire range is gluten free, made in a facility free from wheat and gluten-containing ingredients.
Sweet William is a 100% dedicated nut free facility. No peanuts. No tree nuts. No exception.
No animal products, animal-derived ingredients, eggs or egg products are ever used in any of our products.
No artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or sweeteners anywhere in our range.
All ingredients are carefully sourced free from GMO contamination.
Why You Can Trust Us When You Buy Nut Free Chocolate
For a parent packing a lunchbox, a teacher supervising a classroom snack, or an adult managing their own severe nut allergy, trust is everything.
Here's why Sweet William has been the nut free chocolate of choice for Australians for over 20 years:
- Our facility has never permitted nuts of any kind on site
- We cover all nuts — peanuts and every variety of tree nut
- Every batch is independently tested and verified
- Our ingredient suppliers are screened and vetted, not just trusted
- We are certified to FSSC22000 / ISO22000 — the highest international food safety standards
- We've been doing this since the late 1990s — nut free is our foundation, not a feature
We didn't add a nut free range as an afterthought. We built the entire company on the principle that nobody — especially not someone navigating a serious allergy — should ever have to go without chocolate.
A Note on Peanut & Tree Nut Allergies
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and potentially severe food allergies. Reactions can escalate rapidly and, in highly sensitive individuals, even trace exposure can cause anaphylaxis. Peanuts are legumes, not true tree nuts, but they are treated with equal seriousness at Sweet William.
Tree nut allergy is a reaction to one or more tree nuts — including almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts and others. Symptoms typically appear within minutes of exposure and can be severe. People can be allergic to one type of tree nut or several.
Both types of allergy can be lifelong and life-threatening. Sweet William chocolate contains none of these ingredients and is manufactured in a facility where none are present. If you have specific questions about your allergy, please consult your healthcare professional and don't hesitate to contact us directly.
