Several weeks ago I posted a question regarding the quality of flours
imported from Thailand (particularly rice flour distributed by Erawan
Marketing).  The 2 responses are copied below.   Currently I have chosen
to use the flour in art projects (play clay/paper mache).

--------------------
I have no hard facts, just opinion.  I shop at my local Asian market
almost
every week.  I have used Thai tapioca and rice flours since going gf 4
years ago.  I have never seen anything but a uniform flour product.  As
a
cook - rice flour and tapioca flour have a different consistency than
wheat
flour.  I understand that wheat flour is not used much if any in
Thailand,
hence little cause for concern re contamination.

I am not a celiac (my daughter is, so I understand it well) - I am
exquisitely allergic to wheat - it gives me hives in minutes after
ingesting small amounts.  I have never had a reaction to any gf flour I
have purchased from my Asian store.  Neither has my daughter.
-----------------------
I've wondered about this. The only problem I have ever had is rancid
flour.

I use Ivory Brand, distributed by Nana Marketing Co. of Thailand
