Fwd: Trader Joe's Product Information Form

[Guest guest]

So I was wondering if any of the " experts " on the list would comment

on this. (Maybe I should forward it to Clan .) It was my

understanding that commercial food sometimes does use undistilled

vinegar. I have been glutened by canned jalepenos, I am pretty sure,

for that reason.

This makes me question the TJ's gluten free list.

Luther,

We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. Vinegar used

in commercial food production will always be distilled white vinegar.

Although, it may be grain sourced it will not contain any gluten

proteins and is considered gluten free.

Sincerely,

Amy

Product Name: Ketchup, Organic

Sku # :

Date Code:

Comments: Your No-Gluten list has " Ketchup, Organic " on it. I was in

the store today and read the ingredients, and they include " Organic

White Vinegar " . White vinegar is from wheat and contains gluten. Has it

been distilled? Usually the ingredients would say " distilled vinegar " .

Are you sure it is gluten-free?
