I was wondering if anyone has verified the gluten status of the new
Nutritional Meal Bars from Jenny Craig?  I saw them described in the Mambo
Sprouts Messenger as "appropriate for most people who are lactose or gluten
intolerant, diabetic or hypoglycemic."  The Jenny Craig web site also states
that 4 of the 5 flavors are gluten free, the exception being the Oatmeal
Raisin.  I even saw rice flour listed as one of the ingredients which leads
me to believe that they know what gluten is.

However, when I found their product at the store, one of the ingredients was
malt extract, and one chocolate bar had krispies made with malt flavoring -
the old rice krispie problem.  I am very dubious of  the malt, and have
called the company twice, and was told to leave a message with the
nutritionist both times.  I have not heard back from anyone for over a week
now.

Has anyone on the list talked to the nutritionist at Jenny Craig to confirm
the gluten status of the malt in these bars?

Thanks in advance,
