Fwd: Lipton Consumer Services Case #: 8082488

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I sent Lipton an email about adding barley to the Onion Soup recipe.  Apparently they didn't change the recipe, they just declared it on the ingredient list.  They say it includes a very small amount and according to Celiac Association this amount does not pose a risk.  So can people with CD eat this? Thoughts?

Thx! -

Hello RACHEL MELIA,Thank you for writing us regarding Recipe Secrets Onion Soup .

As of Sept. 2010 our LIPTON SOUP SECRETS ONION now states that VEGETABLE YEAST EXTRACT (BARLEY) as an ingredient.

Reason for the labeling change

Though it was not required by the FDA, since the amount was so small, we have voluntarily declared gluten within the ingredient declaration.

 The amount of gluten in Lipton Onion soup and Lipton Vegetable soup is estimated to be 0.09 ppm (parts per million) in ONION soup PER SERVING and 0.04 ppm in VEGETABLE soup PER SERVING.

These amounts are negligible and, according to the Celiac Association, are of no risk to those with Celiac Disease.*

* Please check with your health care practitioner to determine the best course of action for your family.

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,Your friends at Recipe Secrets
