Yes, they are! Thanks for reminding me; the woman giving out the samples
said they were made by Imagine. So from what you say, they DO sound GF!
Hurray!

It seems to me as though this is something they have been working hard to
develop, although they do make a statement that they cannot guarantee that
there is no cross-contamination, since they have no control over that.
Still, it seems that they check for obvious sources of cross contamination
at least to begin with, for example they don't put their rice crackers on
their GF list for this reason.
