<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The reason I say not really...is because it seems no one agrees really.... Instead of adding threads and a lot of type...it seems that many people do not eat them because it made them sick (cross contamination) and others eat some of them with caution. They said to read the labels. I am sorry I erased some info..so I can't list ones that people said were safe...nor do I want to, as I do not want to put out info that could make someone sick. I am sorry for the lame summary.... A lot of people suggested Genisoy bars, which I already eat. I was just curious about Balance as they are easier to find.... Ho hum. Luna Bar (another vegetarian protein/energy bar) did tell me that they have a new product called GLOW that is GF....it is a low carb bar. I did not get a response from them when I tried to ask more questions...like how do you know it is GF, etc. I think I got the answer that they had no gluten because the label does not say oats, wheat, rye, barley...which is a far cry from it actually being GF. They seemed not to respond once i had some questions...so I am NOT recommending them...I am just stating what one person told me... Have a good day...and I will continue to dream about the good ol days of Power Bars and Cliff Bars....ho hum red baltimore, md *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
