Thanks for everyone's help figuring out Trader Joe's products.  5 people reactions to their GF products and 9 do not and continue to eat them.  There seems to be some products manufactured on shared equipment and some manufactured in the same facility.  Again, everyone will have to make a choice based on what they are comfortable with managing their own health.
Thanks!
Kim


Here's some other good Trader Joe information from one responder:

Trader Joe is not a manufacturer.  They have their private label put on products made by many manufacturers, each with its own proceedures. Manufacturers may change from time to time. There's never a phone # on the product, therefore you must get a store phone # and ask them for the corporate phone #.  Corporate usually has information, but you must use a high degree of judgment. Many of their products are marked "gluten-free", but even those sometimes are made in factories with wheat.  They frequently claim that their contract manufacturers use "best practices", but a recent newspaper article revealed that one such product tested high in gluten.  So as always, use best judgment. My own experience-I'm VERY sensitive- is that the brownie mix is fine, but I have problems with all trail mixes that are made in factories with wheat.
