Dear Valued Consumer:
 
Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding gluten in Nature Valley 
roasted nut bars. 
 
It is our goal to help our consumers determine whether or not they can 
include our products in their diet.  To accurately accomplish this, we 
believe it is best to refer to the specific ingredients listed on each 
product package. 
 
However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want 
to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, 
oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then 
the product would be gluten-free.  Sources of gluten are listed on the 
label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such 
as flavoring or spice).  Because ingredients may vary from one package 
to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product's 
ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.
 
Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting 
your health care professional or:

Sincerely,
