Dear Mrs. Estes,
 Thank you for contacting The Dannon Company, Inc.  We sincerely appreciate 
your interest in Dannon yogurt products and gluten.
 Dannon yogurt products are characterized as either gluten safe or not gluten 
safe.  Our Dannon Plain Lowfat, Plain Nonfat and Plain Natural are all gluten 
safe.  Plain DanActive (formerly called Original DanActive) is gluten safe. 
Vanilla, Strawberry and Blueberry are not due to the presence of natural 
flavors.  All other Dannon yogurts cannot be designated as gluten safe because the 
natural flavor systems used might have ingredients added to stabilize the 
flavor.  The stabilizing ingredients may be derived from gluten sources.
 For our valued consumers that may have allergenic risks associated with 
gluten, our products are not specifically formulated to contain gluten but we 
cannot guarantee that the alcohol portion of the natural flavor system is always 
derived from corn and not from oats, rye and barley.
 While both Activia(r) and DanActive(tm) are probiotics, the two products 
have different benefits. DanActive with L. casei Immunitas(tm) helps naturally 
strengthen you body's defense system and Activia with Bifidus Regularis(tm) 
helps naturally regulate your digestive system, by helping with slow intestinal 
transit.
 We hope this information is helpful to you.  As an additional resource, you

contacting Dannon.
 Sincerely,

Lisa Moore
