**Working Conditions**

It’s no surprise that as a food company, we use many ingredients that may be considered common allergens (i.e. peanuts, tree nuts, milk, etc.). Whether this role is based out of our headquarters or one of our distribution centers, it is possible that you may be exposed to such allergens in this role. _If you have any concerns with being exposed to any particular food ingredients, including meat, please disclose this during the hiring process._
