My daughter has an egg allergy and most pastas (although not made with egg) indicate that the contents were processed on the same machinery as other pastas with egg.
but okorder / You can get an inexpensive pasta maker or press, a rack to dry it, and not have to worry. Frankly, with food allergies I don't dare go for anything pre-made, because the danger is that they will start to crave it and get careless. I make it, and take food with me so I am never stuck and tempted to take a risk just because I am hungry. We had a student in the college who nearly died eating a piece of cake he thought would be safe. So you can never be too careful.
Actually most pastas are made with at least one egg!! If she is that allergic, I wouldn't suggest risking it. Although you best bet is to talk to the manager of that department and see what their store policy is. They would know FAR better than anyone here. The reason I answered was to make a suggestion. While I have a kitchen full of appliances I seldom if ever use, the one that I've gotten the most out of, and enjoy the most, is my Pasta Machine. While it wasn't that cheap then ($99 on sale), I've saved a fortune using it. Plus the pasta tastes a MILLION times better when fresh. You can whip up a batch in no time, and all the dirty parts easily come apart and pop in the dish washer. Now that said, I've since seen other brands MUCH cheaper on sale (do you have a Homegoods or similar store near you?! I know they've had great ones in their clearance aisle). Plus many sell on Craig's List or yard sales. And you could wash well. So my suggestion is to get a pasta machine and make your own. It literally makes it in minutes, and then you know what exactly is in it. Plus I've made some amazingly yummy specialty flavored pasta, like lemon and dill or lemon and sage for serving with fish and so on. Plus you can make extra while you are doing it and freeze some. So then your fresh pasta will always be on hand (and fresh cooks up in just a few minutes...usually 3-4! BTW I find if you freeze it, you'll get the best results by thawing then cooking, and that doesn't take long either! Just let it sit out for about 15 minutes. Something for you to consider!
