<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My reply from Valrhona was completely different when we contacted them in August. My husband, who is our canary, has eaten it without problems. Andrea I received the following email yesterday 8/30/01 from Valrhona. They make high quality chocolates, and many chocoaltes for baking. "Dear Sir or Madam: Thank you for your interest in Valrhona Chocolates. Regarding your question, none of our chocolates contain any traces of wheat, rye, barley or oats. Thank you for you business. Sincerely, Valrhona USA" Perhaps, this makes up for Godive ;-) Andrea
