Re: Chocolate Truffle Brownies GFCF

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

Thanks for everyone's responses to the brownie question. I made my first

batch of them today, and of course I had to do my own personal taste teste

(ahem) and I must say these GFCF brownies rival ANY brownie mix I've ever had!

is really sensitive to cross-contamination issues, but he had a couple

with his lunch and appears to be doing fine . . . whoever posted about the

Gluten-Free Pantry being meticulous about washing their production lines must

be correct!!!

The package says these brownies freeze well.

Dear BJ:

Gluten Free Pantry might be meticulous about washing their machines

but it still states that the product contains Dairy. I have the bag in front

of me that a friend gave to me yesterday. In the upper right hand corner it

states clearly DAIRY. If they are so meticulous about washing their machines

then what is it that is dairy? I hope we can solve this puzzle.

I will contact the company again tomorrow. I documented my last

conversation when they indicated it is not dairy free.

Hi Sharon,

None of the ingredients listed have casien in them -- so if there is a

problem, it would be with cross-contamination. I hope not -- the whole

family enjoys these brownies. We have been eating them all along -- without

any obvious reactions.

I will watch for your post tomorrow.

Hi Sharon --

My understanding of food labeling requirements is that if a

manufacturer designates a product with the word " dairy " on the front,

it is a product that is made on lines that produce dairy-containing

products as well.

I hope I'm not wrong . . . or I will be paying the price later on

tonite with , who is VERY sensitive to cross-contamination.

BJ:

My son is extremely sensitive to cross contamination also and that is

why I have not used the product. I contacted a friend whose father-in-law is

a Rabbi and he said that the symbol that is on the label indicates Dairy in

the product and he would not eat it. Sorry, I am not Jewish so I don't know

the term they use but he blesses food and indicates if it is Kosher. Sorry,

this is the best way I can describe it.

I will wait and hear from Gluten Free Pantry before I try the product.

Also, could you let us know if your child has a reaction.

Thanks for being so helpful.
