casein as an additive. have to read the label carefully.

We avoid gluten and casein, here is info right from the site

How is Coconut Cream ConcentrateTM different from canned coconut milks and

creams?

Commercial coconut milks and creams are generally sold in cans, or sometimes

boxes and tetra packs. The main ingredient in these products is water. If the

fat content is 17%, it is called " coconut milk. " If the fat content is 24%, it

is called " coconut cream. " But most of what you are purchasing is water. Coconut

Cream Concentrate, on the other hand, has NO water, and is pure coconut. Unlike

the commercial varieties, it also contains ALL the fiber of the coconut. Pure,

dried coconut contains more fiber per gram than even oat bran! This fiber has

been stripped out of commercial coconut milks and coconut creams. Also, almost

all commercial coconut milks and creams have additives to prevent the water from

separating from the coconut oil, and also have sulfites added to keep it white

longer. Sometimes these additives are so small, that the FDA does not require

them to list them on their labels as ingredients. Coconut Cream Concentrate,

however, contains NO additives and NO preservatives at all: it is 100% natural

coconut made from certified organic Philippine coconuts grown without pesticides

or fertilizers. Coconut Cream Concentrate comes packaged in 1 pint or 1 quart

glass jars.
