<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I recently read the following and did not catch the first post claiming that Grainassance was not Gluten Free... >Does anyone know of a gluten free Mochi (now that we know Grainaissance >is NOT) in which you HAVE talked to manufacturers and know it is gluten >free, and not contaminated in any way? So I went to their site and it was posted as GF. So, I wrote an email to the company and this is the presidents response: >Dear Pixilated, Thanks for the email. Mochi is gluten free! Where did this >celiac person who wrote the letter get that information from I wonder. We use >rice and water, except in our flavored mochi. Still all of them have gluten >free flavors in them. The Cashew Date flavor has vanilla in it, but is not an >alcohol vanilla. Alcohol is often made from grain that may contain gluten. But >I'm not sure if celiacs shouldn't have alcohol based vanilla anyway. Our mochi >is usually available at natural food stores. Go to a store near you and tell >them they can buy it from the distributor Nature's Best. They may have to >special order it for you. But they can order two or three (maybe even one!) >pieces. They do not have to order a whole case from them. Sincerely, Tony >Plotkin, president. P.S. see our web site grainaissance.com I look forward to trying this product. :-) Hope this clears things up, Lynda Swink .. * >\< * * * \|/ [log in to unmask] \|/ \|/ So.CA \|/ _@V
