<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The manager of the Connecticut Mrs. Green's I shop at called the processing facility directly today while I was there. He was told that the conveyer belts used in the packaging of Mrs. Green's dried fruits are dusted with flour.Although I specifically asked about the unsulphered dried apples, the answer was that all the belts are dusted routinely. By the way, the Mrs. Green's store mamger was stunned and although he had been skeptical when I asked him to check, he thanked me for the information . It started a discusssion of several customers in line and store employees, all of whom were surprised and interested. Shelley(CT)
