Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I find nothing gluten-related on the Starbucks site that's newer than the Valencia Cake demise reports. Perhaps I'm overlooking it. H. -----Original Message----- From: TrVerb@...

I eat gf oats all the time with no problem, though I know some people can't tolerate any oats. But I wouldn't buy anything that had oats if the oats weren't specifically "gf." -----Original Message----- From: Harper <flatcat9aol> Sent: Thu, Jan 14, 2010 11:31 am Subject: Re: [ ] gf with oats at starbucks Aghhhh! Yes, that cookie did "contain GF ingredients" -- plus. As you say, always read every label, every time. Also, don't always trust information from grocery store/health food store employees. Several times, I've been told that spelt and sprouted wheat were GF -- once by the manager of a large store that prides itself in carrying GF food. He formerly worked for Whole Foods, he means well, and he still didn't know. He showed me the store's selection of what he thought were GF breads -- and they all contained a gluten component. I came across a delicious looking cookie at an Andronico's bakery recently that touted "gluten free ingredients." Mixed in with those gluten free ingredients, however, was whole wheat flour. (!)

At the same time, I think celiacs must read the ingredients regardless of whether or not something is marked "gluten free." So, if oats are listed, we need to assess for ourselves whether not that is acceptable in our particular case.

That kind of labeling imperils too many people and is only going to cause a flood of complaints to Starbucks or whichever retailer who sells the product.
