Hello:

I ordered the veggie potstickers and was very dissappointed to find out that they contain

tofu. This has never been mentioned on air or online. I am allergic to it. 

I hope they start telling people all of the ingredients..

Call customer service and tell them you are allergic to tofu and ask for a refund.

I am not trying to be snarky but why would you buy a product without knowing what's in it if you have allergies?

 

Sorry for your experience but I do agree with you.   QVC should provide an ingredient list as well as Nutritional information for all food products.

ITA.  If you are allergic to certain ingredients, you need to take responsibility and call and ask CS of the ingredients if there is none online.

Tofu is a vegetable, so many of us trying to avoid fatty meats turn to it. 

 

I'm in the personal responsibility camp.  Call and ask questions when you're someone with an unusual issue.  It's no slam at the company for me to say you need to care more than they do!

I agree. And I also agree that with a food allergy, you shouldn't buy anything without reading the ingredients because you never know what's going to be in something without the ingredients.

 

I remember hearing about this story when I was in high school and I have never forgotten it. Someone died from eating becausebecuse the secret ingredient was peanut butter and the guy who ate it had a peanut allergy. I never in a million years would have guessed that anyone would put peanut butter in chili, but it taught me a valuable lesson about food allergies. Anything can be in there and you must always, always ask.

Tofu is not a vegetable. Tofu is a curd made from soybeans, which are legumes, like peanuts.

Personal responsibility aside, why don' they list the ingredients?  They tell you what the garments are made of, and I would think that the make- up of food is every bit as important.

They DO say the vegetable potstickers have tofu.....which is why I didn't order them.
