Elizabeth's post is a good lesson in why all GF lists should be used only
as a guide. Many people already know this, but many others who are harried
for time, unable to make manufacturer calls during the work day, or just
don't want to be bothered, find a list and shop from it no matter how old
it is. With some companies, the reality is that once somebody checks a
particular product, its GF status is good for only one day (not that I
check any product every day).

I helped check some of the products on the list that Elizabeth looked at
(the address now is actually
http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/list.asp?webtag=celiac&ctx=1048576&cacheTag=
x46-0 ) and I think it's safe to say that all who checked were
conscientious people. If you look at the Maalox listing, you can see that
it was last checked on May 15, just three months ago. At the time, it was
GF. I double checked Elizabeth's info before writing this post, and the
company does indeed now say that Maalox is "NOT considered GF."
