I received a variety of responses to my query. Opinions primarily indicated "I'd never eat that!"  Several responses indicated that the grass "should" be okay but cautions include we have no federal law defining GF and no standardized tasting.  One response in it's entirety below:


The grasses are what are grown froma wheat or barley seed or kernel.  They are gluten free.  
 In the wheat seed which youshould not be eating, is the germ, bran and endosperm.  In the endospermcontains the gliadin and glutelin which is what a person with Celiac Diseasecannot digest.  
In the barley seed, which again youshould not consume, there are the aleurone layer, embryo and endosperm andagain, in the endosperm is the barley gluten which a person with Celiac Diseasecannot digest.
I would assume if it said thepowders of the grasses that it is just that – they clipped the grasses, driedthem and ground them up.  Not the whole plant, as in the roots and seedswhere the seeds would have been consumed by the growth of the plant by now. 
However you should call the company if you haveany concerns and ask if the bars have been tested (such as an ELISA test) andwhat were the ppm results.

Note: I chose to give the bar to my husband who isn't GF to enjoy.
