Hello Listmates

Below is the letter I received after writing the Mfr. re:  Eagle Brand Caramels Candy.  There is no mention of wheate, barley or rye or oats in their ingredient list & further there is an allergy statement which fails to mention wheat barley rye or oats.

Dear Ms. Boucher:

Thank you for writing to Necco about your Allergy questions.

I wrote them after becoming very sick after eating these candies.  I relied on their allergy statement.

Comments: I am a celiac. My food must not come in contact with any wheat barley rye or oats. Can you advise if your Eagle Brand Caramels are gluten free? Also is the equipment and packaging process free from gluten? Could you send me a list of your products that are gluten free? I will greatly appreciate your assistance & prompt response.
