Puffins Brand Cereal

Thanks for your email.
We do not consider our Original, Cinnamon or Peanut Butter Puffins Cereals to be gluten free because they contain oats.

The problem with oat products is not the grain but rather the harvesting & milling processes.

When oats are processed in the same facilities as wheat, a common practice in the U.S., contamination can occur even with the best cleaning protocol. Although more grain millers are producing gluten free oats, they are still very limited in availability.

Barbara's does not consider any of its products that contain oats to be gluten free.

The only Puffins cereal that is considered gluten free is the Honey Rice Puffins as it contains no gluten containing ingredients.

We hope you find the above information of use.

Noodles & Company

Thank you for your email. At Noodles & Company, we are concerned with the dietary needs of our guests and we are happy to assist you in your selection. The attached chart lists our gluten-free items. Please note that the noodles, sauces and preparation methods all contribute to the gluten content of our dishes and substituting rice noodles will not necessarily make the dish gluten free. We urge you to inform the manager of your dietary needs every time you come in. The Pesto sauce is gluten-free as are the rice noodles. However, it is very important that you let the staff know that you are on a gluten-free diet so they can prepare your meal appropriately.
Although we do our best to accommodate special requests, we would be remiss if we did not state that there is a slight possibility that cross-contamination can occur in our busy kitchens where several allergens are present. We urge you to inform a manager of your allergies every time you dine with us so the staff can take special precautions to help avoid cross-contamination.
We hope this information is helpful! Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,

Nestlé Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels

February 7, 2007
Thank you for contacting Nestlé. We welcome questions and comments from our consumers.The Nestlé Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels are gluten free.

For several years now Nestlé has been following a strict labeling policy with regard to any of the "Big Eight" allergens in our foods and incoming ingredients. We have insisted that our suppliers notify us if gluten is used in any of their ingredients and yet is not declared on their labeling. Thus, we believe that we have uncovered any potential uses of gluten containing ingredients.

Therefore, any Nestlé products will be fully labeled for any presence of gluten or gluten containing ingredients. We find that this message is much easier that our trying to maintain a positive list of products free of gluten containing ingredients.

We appreciate your interest in our products and hope you'll visit our website often for latest information on Nestlé products and promotions.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Meininger
Consumer Response Representative

Caribou Coffee

(From NCSG member CA)
Thank you for taking time to write us with your questions.
We at Caribou Coffee are sensitive to the needs of our customers with dietaryrestrictions, including gluten allergies. We are consistently working tomake these concerns known and to produce such nutritional information available more readily, however, we unfortunately do not have a list compiled. Coffee and espresso contain no gluten or soy, nor does regular or 2% milk, also, our flavored syrups are gluten-free. For this reason, our coffee of the day, lattes and cappuccinos are not considered serious gluten or soy risks. Also, our flavored syrups and chocolate syrups are gluten-free. No such claim can be made for our specialty drinks (Coolers, mochas, Wild drinks) as many ingredients (such as candy toppings) come from third party vendors. If you wish, these items can be made without topping to avoid these ingredients.

In regard to soy milk, please know this can be substituted for anybeverage that would contain 2% or skim milk normally. However, please note that our smoothies and Coolers contain milk protein in the base and no non-dairy substitute can be made for these beverages.

Please note that at Caribou, as at all restaurants, cross-contaminationis not an insignificant risk. We will do our best to accommodate yourdietary restrictions but remind you that the ultimate decision -- andresponsibly -- is yours alone. I hope this information is helpful to youas you make your coffee decisions. I have also passed yourcorrespondence to the Marketing department to consider in their future nutritional information offerings. If I can be of any furtherassistance, please let me know.

Thank you again for your inquiry and for making Caribou a part of your coffee experience!

Sincerely,

Customer Relations Specialist

Georgia-Pacific Paper Towels

(from the Celiac Listserv July 9, 06)

Thank you for emailing the Georgia-Pacific Consumer Response Center. Georgia-Pacific places tremendous importance on the feedback we receive from our consumers.

I can help you regarding your gluten question. I, too, have celiac disease and understand your concern. The bath tissue and paper towels do not have gluten in them. Gluten is in the adhesive only that is at the beginning of the roll and at the very end of the roll. I cannot tell you if/how to use our products however I use them with the exception of the beginning and end sheets. I have never experienced a problem. However, yes there is gluten in the adhesive. You will need to use your best judgment.

Have a great day!

Budwiser Beer

UPDATE! MARCH 1, 2007


Looking for the new gluten-free beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch? Ask for Redbridge Beer. It is brewed from sorghum, and is especially made to be gluten free. www.redbridgebeer.com



(original post)

In response to the question “Can celiacs drink Bud Light, since it is brewed with rice?”

Thank you for taking the time to visit our Web site and e-mail Anheuser-Busch. We truly appreciate your interest in our products.

As you know, glutens (gliadin, hordein and gluten) are protein substances which are found in some of the cereal grains - i.e., wheat, rye, oats and barley - used to brew beer. All Anheuser-Busch beers are brewed using a percentage of barley malt.

At this time, there does not appear to be a consensus in the medical community on whether Celiac patients can drink beer. As it would not be appropriate for us to provide medical advice, we suggest that you consult with your physician before adding any of our products to your diet.

Again, thank you for e-mailing Anheuser-Busch. We hope that this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have additional comments or questions!

Wishbone Salad Dressings

(From an Anoka celiac support group member)
I just got off the phone with Wishbone. The nutritionist was very knowledgeable about the celiac diet and allergens. She said that if anything in their products is derived from wheat, rye, barley (and I think oats) it is noted as an allergen. And, if they used malt flavoring, she said it would be noted in parenthesis as barley!
So, folks, you can Salad Spritzer away!

Bird's Eye Frozen Vegetables

Thank you for inquiring about the nutritional information of Birds Eye products.
Most of our packages are clearly labeled with allergen statement; please refer to this or the detailed ingredient statement for gluten-containing ingredients. Our Comstock & Wilderness pie fillings and other plain vegetables are gluten free. Most other products, such as those containing sauces or pasta should be clarified before each use.
We hope you will continue to use our products and try some of our other ones.
Sincerely,
