I haven't been able to find definitive information on this, either.  I know that
rapeseed is grown in the same climates as wheat, and its likely that its used
with wheat in crop rotation.  But rapeseed and wheat processing are very
different, as far as I can find out.  Wheat kernels are likely to be rejected in
rapeseed harvesting, and the remaining kernels are unlikely to affect the
pressing of oil.

Although I react to even trace amounts of wheat flour in products, I don't react
to canola oil.  But I know Celiacs who do, so there's obviously a problem.
Comments?
