Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 That's funny...because much of that stuff makes me sick. I can no longer have their Mochas or Freddo's without getting a reaction. I often wondered if their chocolate sauces have gluten in them. We certainly can't have any of their caramel stuff. So you might want to double check their sources or contact their vendor's directly. I generally stick to their plain coffee and teas.I had the same thing happen with Chocolate in Emeryville. "Everything is gluten free." Excuse me, really? Even your caramels? Many chocolates have Malt Barley, too. Are you sure? I never heard back from them.Business aren't always up-to-date on their facts, and it's no fun to find out the hard way...like I did with Peet's coffee drinks.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Caramel isn't automatically on the no list. In the US it is usually made with corn; and there are some sources that say that even if it's made with barley, there is no gluten in the final product. In any case, I wouldn't automatically reject caramel without first finding out its source, which should be easy enough to do with a local company like Chocolates. -----Original Message----- From: Harper <flatcat9@...> Sent: Fri, Jun 11, 2010 8:32 am Subject: Re: [ ] Peets & Chocolate Why do you think that Chocolates caramels and chocolates, etc. contain gluten?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi All, Can we refrain from using absolute terms. In my research, I learned the following: Caramel candy is a soft, dense, chewy candy made by boiling a mixture of milk or cream, sugar, butter, vanilla essence, and (more common in commercial production) glucose or corn syrup. I have found that this is the most common recipe when I've checked various caramel recipes from different mftrs.My protocol is that caramel is not off limits, but needs certainty of ingredients before consumption.From: Louise Audell <louise_gd@...> Sent: Fri, June 11, 2010 8:41:23 AMSubject: Re: [ ] Peets & Chocolate Caramel is a no-no hands down.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 You mention that you have reactions to some drinks at Peets, although they are stated to be GF. Perhaps you're sensitive to other ingredients. Peet's sells non-GF baked goods. Could you be getting some cross-contamination from that? I can't figure out a likely way for that to happen, certainly not repeatedly, but I guess it's possible. I don't think that most chocolate contains barley. Check with each manufacturer; some does, but not most.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 FYI some Cadbury's and at least one other brand (I forgot which) have wheat syrup in some of their chocolates, so check for that in addition to barley malt.Regarding Peet's I inquired there a couple years ago and got a similar response from someone worked there and was celiac, so if she still works there they probably know what they are talking about... but you never know.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi Everyone – I’m just wondering……when a thread mushrooms and there are just a few who are participating is there a way to take the conversation off line or off of our group?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Does other coffee, non-Peets, irritate your stomach?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think this thread is important for people who live in the Bay area, especially if there's the possibility that any given company's treatment of gluten is misrepresented. H. -----Original Message----- From: Cara <cara@...> Sent: Fri, Jun 11, 2010 12:25 pm Subject: RE: [ ] Peets & Chocolate Hi Everyone – I’m just wondering……when a thread mushrooms and there are just a few who are participating is there a way to take the conversation off line or off of our group? Thirteen emails in a few hours on the same subject seems a little excessive and especially when there are more opinions than facts. Thank you, Cara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I've heard this from someone who do not have CD or sensitivity to gluten. She can't drink Peet's, but has no problem with Starbucks. Wonder that's about? FYI some Cadbury's and at least one other brand (I forgot which) have wheat syrup in some of their chocolates, so check for that in addition to barley malt. Regarding Peet's I inquired there a couple years ago and got a similar response from someone worked there and was celiac, so if she still works there they probably know what they are talking about... but you never know.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 At any rate, we've determined that no one has found undisclosed gluten in either Peets drinks or Chocolates candies. That's been my goal: to clarify an earlier statement about this possibility.
