Hi , I saw your post before and I usually reply to posts I know about

but I guess I was lazy-

As far as a basic letter I just send an email to the company and state

that my son is on a strict gluten free and casein free diet and I need to

check out the status of their product as sometimes there are hidden forms

of gluten. If the ingredients mention natural flavors I tell them I need

to know what they are. If it mentions rice syrup I question how its

made. Sometimes I even double check with a follow up call to the company

to see if I get the same response. Most companies have toll free numbers

that you can get at no charge by calling the toll free information at

1-. I even verify the ones on the gluten free list, I use

the list only as a starting point. I also do mention is the product made

on lines with other products that aren't GFCF.

I question all ingredients cause my son is also allergic to soy and that

is a hidden ingredient in things too.
