The dried fruit summary was excellent. The information was detailed and interesting.
However, I was surprised to see craisins listed as not gluten free. Some time ago I called Ocean Spray and asked about craisins being gluten free. I was told the ones in large boxes or bags were but not the little individual boxes.
Today I looked in the 10th Edition of CSA Gluten-Free Products listing book. Craisins weren't listed but Ocean Spray's phone number 800-662-3263 was listed. I called and spoke to Joanne. She assured me that craisins are gluten free, including the flavored ones. She also said they understood there had been some misinformation about craisins. She is sending me a letter using the company letterhead. Then I will send it to CSA for inclusion in the 11th edition this fall.
Hopefully that will help clarify the situation.
