Hi -

I was at The Big E  ( www.TheBigE.com ) and one of the soup vendors had a sign up in her booth;  "all of our soups are gluten free".  I picked up a few, and in chatting with her she said the bags aren't individually labeled because it costs at least $20,000 to get approved for the GF label. Said it involves sending stuff for testing, all kinds of permits, approvals, etc.

So if you wonder why more food items don't carry the GF label, thats a good place to start. Small food makers just couldn't afford it. Like she says, SHE knows what goes into her mixes, and she KNOWS they're GF..... she just can't label them. 

It was an interesting conversation.
