I'd be up for that and how about trying to get a buying club to see if there is a way to get a bulk shipment from the english supermarkets - like the pitta bread.----- Original Message -----From: < > < >Sent: Wed Nov 19 20:53:04 2008Subject: [ ] San-J soy sauce in 64 oz bottlesThe response Bronwyn got from San-J reminded me.

I'm so annoyed with WF right now. I drovefrom Hill all the way to the Cupertinoone and they didn't have a ton of stuff I was lookingfor. My husband is in the UK right now andsaid there is a "Costco sized" Tesco rightnext to his work. I told him to go buy a suitcaseand fill it up LOLApparantly a celiac in the UK told him thata brand called Dietary Specialist is even better than Tesco. I've never heard of it...

Subject: Organic Wheat Free soy sauce - a question

Your soy sauce is delicious. Thank you for making a sauce that those of us with allergies can enjoy.

I have a question. The nutritional information states that the sauce (say Platinum label) is wheat free and I have read the ingredients and can see no other source of gluten (rye or barley). I think that it is fine, but we are trying to track down a source of minor gluten contamination and I want to rule out our San J Wheat Free Tamari soy sauce first.

- Are there any added gluten ingredients

- Is it manufactured in a plant that also processes gluten

- Is it gluten free?

Many thanks for your time and fingers crossed.
