Regarding:

>>Also, it's interesting that apparently they still don't " get " why

you made reference to the organic ingredient list, which includes BARLEY,

OATS, and RYE.<<

>>I found this interesting too. When I referenced this statement I was

questioning barley oats and rye being used, which is a huge no, no for our

kids. I was not questioning whether they are organic or not.<<

Special Foods serves a broad community of individuals with allergies and

sensitivities that extend beyond GFCF. Some individuals are sensitive to

wheat, but not to gluten, and are fine with barley, oats etc.

Of our 450 products, 7 products contain gluten. Three baking powders: rye,

barley, and oat. Three pastas: rye, barley, and oat. One cracker: oat.

In each product, the name of the food is included in the product name,

making it very easy to identify. No common equipment is used in production,

and these three flours are milled in a separate facility.

We do not make products containing more than one flour, eg, our sweet potato

bread contains only sweet potato flour. So these 7 products are the only

products in which these flours are found.

The list you refer to lists the grains and seeds category, not the rest of

our large product lines - artichoke, water chestnut, white sweet potato,

malanga, cassava, lotus, arrowroot, yam. There is a large series of products

from each of these. Also all products from these are gluten free and caseine

free, and for food allergy folks, free of everything else as well - sugar,

corn, rice, soy, other legumes, nuts, methylcellulose and other dough

conditioners, guar gum, and other mucilages and gums, etc, etc.
