<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The Celiac List is International in scope and we require that all posts for product information include a location. Here are two examples of problems that can developed when details are not included in a post. 1. Corn Pops in the US do not contain oats and are generally accepted as safe for celiacs. In Canada, Corn Pops contain oats and therefore are avoided by many celiacs. 2. I do not remember the brand right now, but years ago we had a candy bar that was GF on the East Cost of the US but not on the West Coast due to differences in ingredients. The labels were accurate on each one. 3. Differences can also occur in medications. When you call a drug company, they normally ask for lot information. This way they can give you accurate information. When celiacs talk about drugs, we often forget about the differences in strengths of the same drug. So please include a location somewhere in the body of your questions, your replies to the poster, and your summaries. Please also keep in mind that summaries are compiled by fellow celiacs based on information obtained. The use of any product and its impact on your diet should be based on the reading of labels and personal research when you feel nervous about the accuracy of the label. As many of our readers have found out the hard way, not all US products are found in every US town. When you do not see a product in your favorite store, a phone call to the manufacturer can give some insight into which stores carry an item. --- Michael Jones mailto:[log in to unmask] Orlando, FL USA One of the Celiac, Cel-Kids, Celiac-Diabetes & Cel-Pro Listowners: mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/
