I have been asked to post this to the list by the President of the Tri-County 
Celiac Support Group of Michigan.  The group has attempted to work with 
Sami's to inform them about the high levels of contamination in some of their 
products.  

The following is a direct quote from the President of TCCSG & the testing 
report that they received:

"We sent 2 samples of Sami's products - the millet & flax hamburger bun and 
the plain millet bread to University of Nebraska, Lincoln to be tested for 
gluten.  Here is what they sd.  The gluten testing of the bun and bread 
samples that we received on Tues, Feb 13th, 2007 has been completed.  The 
results are listed below
  Sample   Millet & flax hamb bun     >5000 ppm
              Plain millet bread             >5000 ppm
The lower limit of detection for the R-Biophar Ridascreen Fast Gliadin is 10 
parts per million (ppm) gluten. Amounts below this level cannot be reliably 
detected in this assay. One ppm is equal to one milligram of gluten per 
kilogram of sample product.

There is another whole paragraph, which says the levels are prob even 
higher."

I consider this information that all celiacs should be aware of and they 
should make it known to other celiacs and to support groups.
