A friend gave me some packages of Mrs. May's Almond Crunch and other nut
crunches. (www.wheelsfor the world.org) The label said it's Gluten Free.
Another one of the food products that has recently started to display this
prominently. What put me on my guard is that one of the ingredients is
Rice Malt. I had learned from the listserv that the rice malt in some of
the packaged products may also contain barley malt. So I zipped off an
email to them. Here is their prompt reply suggesting it's GF. I have
eaten some of those Almond Crunches.....yummy!

RE: RE: Rice Malt
Dear Mildred,
The ingredients used to make our products are manufactured and purchased in
China. The rice malt we use does not contain any corn or barley. This is
from the company where we purchase the Rice Malt. They could not provide
us
with anything in writing (especially in English) but they have guaranteed
their product as being gluten free.
We also have our product constantly inspected by the FDA and they have not
found any Gluten in our product as well.
Some of our Celiac customers demanded more evidence on our product being
gluten free and we were not able to provide it to them. If you have any
doubts, we ask that please use your best judgment before purchasing our
products.
We hope this information satisfies your question.
Sincerely,
James Kim
Manager
