Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Most caramel color for products made in the U.S. is sourced from corn syrup I believe, not all however. One exception I found out the hard way is Hornsby's Dry Cider. Welcome to the GF world! It has resulted in some divine creations though I must say. Try Crave brownies for one...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I am so glad this came up because I have been avoiding all caramel color and am so happy that I can drink diet coke again. I re-read where I originally learned about this which is in "The Gluten-Free Bible" by Jax s Lowell and it states that "In the U.S. and Canada caramel coloring is the dark brown liquid that results from heating dextrose, invert sugar (a mixture of dextrose and levulose found in fruits or that is produced artificially by the process of inversion), lactose, molasses, or sucrose from beet or sugarcane. This ingredient should always be questioned as it may be made from malt syrup or wheat. When in doubt, consider the country of origin and contact the company for specifics." I learned that the pumpkin spice latte flavoring now in Starbucks does have Caramel Coloring but now I will contact them to see if it is made in the U.S. or Canada and gluten-free. I would say the number one reason I had to put a product back was do to caramel coloring so now I know it may be safe!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 What flavor Altoid contained wheat? I don't think the plain one does. However, if one flavor contains wheat, then the non-wheat flavors probably are processed on the same equipment. Probably. Darn. H.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 So now I'm confused. We think but aren't sure that caramel color is bad. But why were people thinking Diet was ok? It seems that anything not Sprite, etc would have caramel color to make it brown...?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Caramel color is not bad. SOME caramel color is bad. It can be derived from various sources. The caramel color used in Coke and Pepsi are gluten-free.IsaiahOn 9/10/07, Pratt <kimberlymp1@...> wrote: So now I'm confused. We think but aren't sure that caramel color is bad.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm not sure about carmel color in general, but according to the Coke website, all their products are gluten free. To confirm, you can go to http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/contactus/index.html , then click on the " Ask coca-cola " link, and type in gluten free. Admittedly, they qualify their gluten free statement with the following: " all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per million) (0.02%) " . This may or may not be acceptable to some people.Pepsi states that most of their products are wheat free in this chart: http://www.pepsiproductfacts.com/allergens.php#chart. Please note they say wheat free, not gluten free, but I've always felt fine after drinking their products. On 9/10/07, Pratt <kimberlymp1@...> wrote: So now I'm confused.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 LOL! My favorite is when you pick up a box that has "wheat free!" printed in big bold letters, and then you see barley heartlessly printed right there in the ingredients list.-- Joe http://sanbeiji.comOn Sep 10, 2007, at 7:36 PM, "Lillyth Denaghy Keogh-Quillan" <lillythdenaghykeogh@...> wrote: I hate that!
