Hello Listmates,

Recently someone posted the following:

"Just to let anyone know that doesn't...the ice cream dippin' dots is NOT
gluten free.  I was an idiot today and took a bite from the little girl I
was babysitting without checking and am now still sick from it.  I guess
there is wheat in it to keep it from sticking..."

This information is NOT true.  I have just gotten off the phone with a
Corporate Representative from Dippin' Dots.  All of their ingredients are
gluten free.  They do not add wheat to keep it from sticking.  In fact the
company is in the process of getting certified statements from all of their
suppliers to be able to assure comsumers that there is also no risk of
cross-contamintion.  This process should be completed within the next month
or so.

Once a
gain, I caution people to use more care when posting to this list on
the gf staus of a product.  Personal reactions are not a gauge for whether
or not something contains gluten.  Also, who knows what the child had been
eating before the Dippin' Dots?  It is my guess the gluten contamination
occurred there if at all.
