We both shop Loblaws under one banner or another. PC BLUE MENU
beans do not have that disclaimer on them and they are dirt cheap.
$3.30 per kg dry so $1.10 after soaking them.

They put that disclaimer on foods that are merely produced in the
same factory where flour exist. I can see the point for oatmeal and
baked goods but airborne flour dust can't get inside a dry bean.
Besides that you're going to rinse those beans, then soak them, then
discard that water before cooking them with a second batch of
water.

  tortillas on grill, turning once, until softened and lightly
  speckled brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Slice chicken crosswise. Place
  portions of chicken, onion, and beans in tortillas. Top with
  tomatoes, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime. Fold up bottom of
