<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Concerning Heidi's Reply from Brach's: I would like to urge everyone on the list to email the contact listed below at Brach's to ask for a list of their gluten free products. When they make the same reply, please send in another email to complain about their lack of attention to your needs and let them know how difficult it is to navigate through the world of food labelling when companies are uncooperative in revealing hidden sources of dangerous food ingredients. It wouldn't hurt to let them know that you buy for X amount of people in your family as well. The point of a concerted effort here is to make it more difficult for them to blow us off than to provide us a list of what is actually in their products. Perhaps they will see that taking the time to label their packaging properly will be less expensive than taking the time to field our questions. Kit Kellison Dear Brach's Customer Relations Contact: Could you please give me a list of which of your products contain wheat, barley, or rye? I have a condition called celiac disease in which severe damage is done to my intestines if I ingest those products. Since they are often hidden in ingredients such as natural flavors, starch, etc. it is difficult for me to find out what I can safely eat and buy for my family. Thank you in advance for your reply.I will post it on our national list. Kit Kellison Activism Chairman Tidewater Chapter 17 CSA/USA Heidi's Letter: I contacted Brachs in regards to their products and this is the reply I received. Guess I won't be buying anymore of their products.
