Dear Ms. Lieven:
Thank you for contacting 8th Continent regarding gluten in 8th Continent
product.
It is our primary goal to help our consumers determine whether or not they
can include our products in their diet. To accurately accomplish this, we
believe it is best to refer to the specific ingredients listed on each product
package.
However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want to
assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, or other
sources of gluten, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are
listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another
ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package
to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product's
ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.
Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your
health care professional or:
Celiac Sprue Association/United States of America, Inc.
PO Box 31700
Omaha, NE 68131-0700

If a product contains one of the top 8 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, dairy
products, eggs, soy, wheat, crustaceans, and fish), that ingredient is always
listed in the ingredient panel, and also in bold letters just below the list of
ingredients. This list is your ingredient assurance for that package. It is
not intended for other packaging of the same product. Ingredients may vary
from one package to another due to product reformulation. If you have allergy
concerns, please read each package ingredient panel.
We hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Mindy Jackson
