are safe...they are made with egg whites. Not bad with real maple syrup! I like the ones I make much better but in a pinch these aren't too bad for an alternative breakfast sometimes.

So, I was really excited to read your post because I really like these waffles. I use to eat them before I found out I had IBS. They would make a really good, quick breakfast. But here is my question. I just went to the Special K website and looked up the Special K 99% fat free waffles and here is what it said:
Eggo® Waffles
Special K® 99% Fat Free
Description
99% fat free frozen round waffles.
Ingredients:
Enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate [vitamin B1], riboflavin [vitamin B2], folic acid), egg whites, sugar, water, leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, salt, artificial flavors, whey, vitamin A palmitate, spice, reduced iron, soy lecithin, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), beta carotene for color and vitamin B12.
Allergen Information:
Contains wheat, egg, milk and soy ingredients.
Kosher Status:
Kosher Dairy
Like you, I read the ingredients and they look perfectly safe since they use egg whites, and nothing else seemed like a trigger. But why then does it list milk under allergen information? What in the ingredients is a milk product?
I really wanted to eat these, but now the website has made me paranoid!
Thanks for your help!

I've had these before and I agree, they really are tasty. Definitely not quite as flavorful as the real thing, but a great safe breakfast!

Whey is a milk product. I forgot those had whey in them. I believe it was listed under "less than 2% of these ingredients". Personally, those types of things don't bother me because the amount of dairy is sooo miniscule. But you're right, if you're not stable it's something to beware of.
