Palm Sugar: gluten free?

[Guest guest]

Why would palm sugar have gluten in it anyway? It's a single source item from a nongluten source.

I just got a laugh out of this

reply. So, whadaya think…if the product is 100% gluten, but doesn’t

contain any gluten, would I be getting an empty bag?

I guess things are pretty laid

back there on Bali.

Hello

Pam –

Greetings from the Island of Bali!

Thank you for your email. Organic Evaporated Coconut

Palm Sugar Blonde is 100% gluten product. The product itself does not

contain any gluten material and it is not produced in a facility which produce

gluten products. I hope this would help.

Organic Coconut Palm Sugar is Nature’s perfect

sweetener… It is the very first time a cane sugar alternative has

been able to stand strong as a positive force for people, planet and personal

health. Please enjoy this great sweetener and spread the words about the

benefits the sugar gives you. Thanks again Pam and have a great weekend!

Best Regards,

Wawan

I would like to know if your Sweet Tree evaporated palm

sugar, blonde, is gluten-free. Although no gluten products appear on the

ingredient list, I want to make sure that there is no gluten used in processing

or in the areas where it is processed.

Gluten is any product or food made or derived from wheat,

barley, rye, or (because of frequent cross contamination) oats.

Thank you for your efforts,

In my original e-mail to Big Tree, I recognized that no gluten

was in the ingredients, but, because this is a new product to me and because I

don’t know anything about how it is made or processed, I wanted to make sure

that there were no surprises, especially as this is produced outside of the US. 

I have found that it is prudent when introducing a new product to our household

to err on the side of caution.  It is when I let my guard down that my family

gets sick.
