Dear All,

Can I just add my two penn'orth here.  Last year visiting
the family in Denmark, we found a number of packs of sweets
("candy" on the other side of the pond) made by Haribo
which were even clearly marked "Gluten-fri".  When we
crossed into Germany on the way home, we decided to spend
the last few coins on some sweets to fortify us on the long
journey home.  We were rather shocked to discover that less
than 2 kilometers (sorry - less than a mile) from the
border the "same" packs were not GF!!  Not surprised - but
a bit shocked.  Moral - manufacturers of anything edible
have no morals (in general) and couldn't care less about
servicing the unlucky few.  Profits are all.

Regards

David
