I have experienced this "misunderstanding" many times, it seems to relate
to how thorough I am in persuing and educating the contact person.  There
are so many issues to consider, i.e., cross-contamination from production
lines, variations on starches given availability, definitions of terms
like "flour".  Has anyone tried to assemble a comprehensive questionaire
to use as a guideline for this kind of research?  Let me know also if
there is an interest in producing such a document and I will consider
undertaking the task myself.  Have the GF groups that produce the "food
guide" created such a document?
