From Oct 30:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at Cracker Barrel Old Country 
Store.  We appreciate receiving your inquiry and we do understand your 
concern.

The following is a list of menu items that do not contain wheat, barley, or rye 
products as an ingredient(the modified food starch in the fried apples is from 
corn).  However, we have an open kitchen where biscuits and dumplings are 
made from scratch several times daily.  Many of our grill items do not contain 
glutents but are prepared on the same equipment as products that do.  There 
is always a chance that cross-transference may occur.

Please inform a manager of your sensitivity when you visit one of our stores to 
ensure that every effort is made to prevent the accidental transfer of glutens 
via the handling and preparation of your meal.

Grill Items:  grilled chicken tenders, hamburger steak, ribeye and sirloin steak, 
grilled catfish, grilled trout, grilled pork chops, country ham, city ham, bacon, 
eggs, pork sausage, turkey sausage

Side Items: carrots, cole slaw, corn, fried apples, green beans, mashed 
potatoes, baked potato, pinto beans, turnip greens

Excluding the fried chicken tender salad and chunky chicken (homemade 
chicken salad) salad, salads ordered without croutons would not contain 
glutens.  See the ingredient statements below for our salad dressings choice.

The vinegars used in the salad refined distilled grain vinegars.  According to 
the American Celiac Disease Alliance, "Distilled alcoholic beverages and 
vinegars are gluten-free.  Distilled products do not contain any harmful gluten 
peptides.  Research indicates that the gluten peptide is too large to carry over 
in the distillation process.  This leaves the resultant liquid gluten-free."

Buttermilk Dressing: cultured buttermilk, soybean oil, water, egg yolk, distilled 
vinegar, salt, corn syrup, sugar, spices, lactic acid, xanthan gum, guar gum,
