Dear Friends,
  We hope you are all enjoying your 4th of July holiday. We are very proud 
to announce that, we are exactly what we have professed since our 
inception, Certified by the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) Gluten Free. 
There was a vast amount of paperwork for us to fill out from proving our 
facility was in fact 100% Gluten Free. To also proving all of our raw 
product was indeed 100% Gluten Free, and our packaging was also 100% 
Gluten Free. Then we needed to send in sample products that were in turn 
tested at the University of Nebraska for the slightest amount of Gluten. 
Well, of course, since we do not allow even the slightest amount of Gluten 
into our building, we passed with flying colors and now proudly carry the 
CSA Gluten Free certification stamp on all of our products. We say, hats 
off to CSA for creating this program. We feel all Gluten Free 
manufacturers should also carry the certification stamp. What better way 
to assure you all that what you are eating is truly Gluten Free and not 
Gluten reduced. We will go as far as challenging all the Gluten Free Food 
producers out there to comply with the CSA regulations and pass their 
certification. Why Not? Wouldn't everyone feel better knowing that what 
they were eating was truly 100% Gluten Free? We know we would. We feel 
therw should even be more restrictions to the testing but we are 
proceeding to work with CSA on those. Please remember NO Wheat, Oats, 
Barley, Rye and standard salt in your diet. We have seen where we have 
been questioned on why we do not use standard salt on many web sites. The 
reason is, unless the salt is pure it contains a anti-caking agent 
commonly called Calcium Cilicate. Calcium Cilicate is not an FDA approved 
ingredient. Calcium Cilicate is listed in the Medical books as a bowel and 
intestinal irritant. Is that what you need to ingest? Also many people 
question Soy. Soy is a very hard product to work with so it is commonly 
mixed with either wheat or rice so it can be handled. Do you want to take 
the chance on what it was mixed with? All in all we are so very happy to 
serve you all and please visit our website at www.grandmaferdons.com to
