Subject Re:Gluten Free verses Wheat Free

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I remember a power bar that contained wheat grass but claimed to be gluten-free.

After making calls, I learned that wheat grass is

gluten-free because it doesn't contain the offending protein of the wheat

kernel. Go figure! I don't trust something that claims to be

wheat-free until I do the research or the ingredients list clearly doesn't

contain barley, rye or oats. If it is made on equipment that also processes

wheat, it is still suspect until doing the research and I am satisfied that they

clean the lines well between runs. If it is made in a facility that also

processes wheat, sometimes I'll risk it depending on what it is. If I'm not up

for any risks, I'll pass on it or call. Seems to me that if a product is

wheat-free and also gluten-free, it would be a marketing advantage to label it

as such. Just my take on your question.
