Mashed Potato Warning!

Thank you for the tip, S. Stonebridge.
Some Idahoan mashed potatoes contain coconut oil.  Make sure to read all ingredients on all packaged food!
For example, the "buttery golden selects" seem to be sharing secrets on making buttery flavor from our old nemesis, movie theater popcorn!

My wife is also allergic to coconut, but she has also found that she has problems with palm oil and palm kernal oil. The newest culprit was vitamin A palminate! Coconut is showing up in everything!
We have found an organic hot chocolate from Whole Foods that has no coconut.
