I agree you should not have to.
Did anyone call for this or other products, and does anyone know how natural flavoring may be processed? I realize it depends on the flavor, of course, but they sure do things to give products seducing tastes..

I am able to share one. A Norwegian product (Landlord)(mayonaise type ) shrimp sallad seemed ok. The label even stated gluten and lactose free.
I called the distributor, and they told me the shrimps were contained in a brine which had cream in it until put in the end product. The lactose amount is *very* low, but why use cream in a product directed against this market? The rules are they don't have to put an ingredient on the label if
less than 1 %. This one said *free*, which in my mind indicates no dairy in processing.....
And why did I call? Well, who would know if the brine contained MSG or vinegar, it tasted very good, but my gut made some noises,.... and it may be because of diary... still trying to figure out what I can eat..
