After reading several messages about the San J Tamari sauce, I called the company. I asked several specific questions about their testing practices. These are the answers I received.
They test every 6 months. The last time they tested was in January. At that time they tested a batch that had been made in October. This means that the last product tested was made over 6 months ago. If you want to speak to them about a particular bottle look on the bottom of the bottle. In little yellow figures they have a date. ( It is hard to read.)
My husband has been complaining about not feeling as well as usual ( which is the reason I followed up on the testing ). I am not satisfied with the care they are taking. The person I spoke to was in the quality control area. She suggested that decisions about the testing schedual were based on cost. I suggested that my husband's health was more important and that people with celiac were used to paying a premium if a product was truly gluten free. I was given the impression that calls from people might help change their policy. 1-800-446-5500.
I will not be buying this product. I will be returning both the half finished bottle and a brand new bottle to the local Whole Foods Market.
Also, write and support the labeling laws. Currently there is no definition of gluten free or any required proceedures.
