<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I had only a few responses. 2 said the hot salsa is not gluten-free. The response I had from the company states that the hot salsa uses white vinegar. That may be where some of the caution comes in. Others said they felt the chance for cross-contamination was small. No one stated they had problems with the food. It seems to come down to individual choice (with awareness). Thanks for your responses!
