> Gluten sensitivity is considered a food intolerance. Gluten
> intolerance is NOT the same as wheat allergy; it is a sensitivity to
> several grains (wheat, barley, rye, oats) due to the protein gluten.
>
> Our policy is to always label the gluten containing ingredients (e.g.,
> wheat, barley, rye, tricale, oats and spelt) in our ingredient statement.
>
> In addition, we provide "Allergen Information" in a statement separate
> from the ingredient statement; Consumers who cannot consume gluten
> need to check both places.
>
> The "Allergy Information" labeling appears near the ingredient
> statement to provide information for consumers with food allergies; If
> an allergen (e.g., wheat) does not exist in our formulation, but the
> products are manufactured on shared equipment it is our Policy to
> include an Allergy Information statement, for example:
>
> Allergy Information: Manufactured on Equipment that Processes Wheat,
> Peanut and Tree Nuts.

> Individuals with gluten-sensitivity would be able to refer to this
