Hi all,

I have been trying for several weeks to determine the source of
natural flavors in Zola drinks and the company has not gotten back to
me via either email or phone. Please read the follow up email I sent
regarding my phone call.

They have not confirmed the source of their natural flavors to be
gluten free. I will update the group if I hear anything else.

Subject: potential gluten in Natural Flavors?
To: [log in to unmask]


Hi,

I have an autoimmune disorder called Celiac Disease and as a result I
am on a strict gluten free diet for life. I cannot have any wheat,
rye, barley or oats, even in small amounts.

Several weeks ago I contacted someone at your company regarding the
source for your "natural flavors" in the juices (not the smoothies),
and the woman who answered the phone was very pleasant and helpful but
she did not know the answer and told me she would get back to me. I
have not heard back since.

According to the allergen labeling laws, "wheat" would have to be
declared as a potential source in the natural flavorings, but the law
does not apply to barley, rye or oats. Barley is the most likely of
these three to be used in natural flavorings, so I was hoping to
confirm whether or not any of the grains mentioned above are used in
your natural flavorings.

I promised to forward this information on to several of my large
online groups for Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance and Wheat
allergic people when I receive the answer.

Thanks again in advance. I'm hoping to enjoy the juice that has been
sitting in my frig.
