Ecover washing up liquid and milk and wheat allergies/intolerances

5 replies

As I was idly washing up this afternoon I noticed that 'wheat protein' and 'milk whey' are ingredients on ecover washing up liquid, depending on which fragrance you have.

Do any of you who have sensitivities to these things have issues with using ecover? DD2 his BF so I have to be careful with my diet but hadn't dreamed of looking there for hidden ingredients! If it is an issue I suppose it will be more important when weaning. But I do use unsterilised medicine spoons every day.

any thoughts?

I'm sure this is fine - I assume you rinse properly so there won't be any traces on your washing up anyway?

I only usually rinse glasses to be honest. I was thinking that those with severe allergies having to avoid things that 'may contain traces' should also avoid this since the ingredients are there?

Possibly - had ecover listed them as potential allergens or just included in the ingredient list?

Just in the ingredients list. I know I sound a bit precious about this, but I'm not really. I'm just interested in the theory of it.
