What is the capital of Tunisia?

“Manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts, tree nuts and dairy/milk products” on food label

Très souvent traduit en :

Peut contenir des traces d’arachides, de noix ou de produits laitiers.

Traces indique que des quantités infimes peuvent avoir été laissées par les produits qui ont été traités précédemment malgré le nettoyage des machines, ou que les composants originaux, qu’ils soient solides ou liquides, peuvent eux-mêmes en contenir.


EDIT

Plutôt que Infusé (qui pourrait être très bien compris) l’usage est, pour les liquides :

Mis en bouteille dans une chaîne ayant pu traiter des arachides, des noix ou des produits laitiers.

N.B. : la mise en bouteille signifie l’embouteillage ou le flaconnage, mais l’usage et la traçabilité veulent que ce soit le dernier intervenant sur le produit qui est responsable de ce dernier : il doit vérifier et tracer tous les composants du produit qu’il livre aux consommateurs.

On peut remplacer une chaîne par un établissement, un atelier selon le lieu de fabrication.

You’ll also sometimes find

Fabriqué dans un atelier qui utilise des fruits à coque

Fabriqué dans un atelier utilisant des fruits à coque

which is a closer translation but means the same thing as « Peut contenir des traces de fruits à coques ».

Let’s go piece by piece here.

Manufactured/Brewed

  • Manufactured: since we are talking of food, I guess the best word would be “Préparé“.
  • Brewed: in your specific context, you are talking about tea, so we agreed on “infusé“.

Facility

This is a hard one since it is quite vague. “Atelier” is commonly used. It does render as “shop”, but hardly the selling kind. Rather a place where (manual) craft is performed (sewing shop, workshop, repair shop, …). The atelier can be the place where the selling takes place but it is often in a separate room or building.

If you want to keep really neutral, “bâtiment” is the literal translation for “building”.

Process

Literally, this is the verb “traiter“. “Utiliser” is however more common for this context.

Peanuts, tree nuts and dairy/milk products

  • Peanuts: “cachuètes” or, more widely, “arachides“.
  • Tree nuts: there is no French term for all tree nuts. “Noix” is for “walnuts” only.

You could use “fruits à coque” (“shelled fruit”) as Alexandre d’Entraigues suggested. It regroups both peanuts and tree nuts.

  • Dairy: “produits laitiers“.

Bringing it all together

Keeping close to standards is a good idea as it allows consumers to easily understand the sentence since they are used to see it everywhere when they are looking for allergens.

As a consequence, I would go with the following (which is close to what Alexandre d’Entraigues proposed):

Préparé/Infusé dans un atelier qui utilise des fruits à coque et des produits laitiers.

This is implied in cl-r’s proposition:

Peut contenir des traces de fruits à coque ou de produits laitiers.


Minor note:

In the first form, we used “des“, not in the second form. The additional products are countable, so we use a definite article, which contracts with “de” (“de + les = des“). In the second form, since there are only traces, they become uncountable and we use only “de“, without the article.
