I called Sami's about a month ago because I found archived references to
Sami's products testing high for gluten and I had been buying some of their
products for my son.  They said when that controversy came up, they sent
their bread for retesting themselves and got a score of 33 parts per
million.  This number is much lower than the test result a celiac group got
when testing, but still over the 10 parts per million that is expected to
be the "safe" guideline.  We decided to stop buying Sami's for safety's
sake.

testing revealed very heavy gluten contamination on independent testing. 
It is not a dedicated facility and significant gluten was getting into
their products.

We had a similar problem years ago with DeLand Bakery in Fla.  The FDA was
brought in and they are no longer able to call their breads "gluten free".
