<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here's what Grimaud farms (bought at Whole Foods Mkt) said about their foods. Mr. Schroeder, First, thank you for buying Grimaud farms products. "Minimally processed" means that we haven't had any substance to this product. What you bought is 100% duck. Our guinea fowl and foie-gras are process the same way. We also produce some further processed product like confit or smoked duck breast. In that case we add different ingredients, all those ingredients are always notified on the package. Don't hesitate to contact me again if you need additional informations. Best regards, Daniel Peron. -----Original Message----- From: JSchroeder [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 4:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Dear Daniel, I bought one of your frozen ducks and it is labled minimally processed. Could you tell me what this refers to? My wife has severe food allergies (celiac diesease, an intolerance of Gluten) and is allergic to many additivies, even certain brands of salt. I also want to be certain she can eat your Guinea Fowl and Foie Gras. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, David
