I just visited the McCann's site and found this in their FAQ's. I know one of the recent emails touched on contamination of the oats and this addresses it.  
  I have never eaten these oats and am not stating a postition one way or the other just posting info.
   
   
   Are McCann's Oat products gluten free?
  All McCann’s oat products are processed in a dedicated oatmeal mill that handles only oatmeal. In the supply chain between farm and mill, there is a possible cross contamination with other grains, such as wheat and barley but we reckon that the level of non-oat grains to be less than 0.05%. Cleaning equipment within the milling process would remove the vast majority of these grains along with other elements such as stones, straw etc.
  But we cannot guarantee that McCann’s oats are totally gluten free and we recommend that consumers use their own judgement as to whether they wish to use our oatmeal or not. Many celiacs can tolerate our oatmeal products without any adverse effect but they may not suit those who are particularly sensitive.
