From the pointer to juvela (www.juvela.co.uk) given, I found an
American subsidiary of this company SHS in Gaithersburg, MD.  They carry
a line of products calls Loprofin which they claim are suitable for
gluten-free, milk-free, lactose-free, and egg-free diets.

However the ingredients of the bread include WHEAT STARCH.  It carries
an asterisk that says "this product complies with the Codex
Alimentarius standard for gluten-free foods."  And then it says
"not suitable for wheat-free diets."

What is this Codex Alimentarius?  Usually the disclaimers go the
other way:  OK for wheat-free but not OK for gluten-free.  This one
is backwards.

What do I make of this?
