What is the best way to ask companies which of their products are gluten
free?

I am new at gf and need your advice.

Thusfar I have contacted 3 companies which I am interested in buying
from.  Each time it has been quickly obvious that I was dealing with
someone who didn't understand the extent of the issue & thought I would
be satisfied with a quick, verbal answer.  My response was to explain
that wheat, barley & rye are all problematic.  Further I explained that
oats can be cross-contaminated and that actually a product can have a
cross-contamination issue when there are no gluten grains listed on the
ingredients but if something else has occurred in processing such as the
conveyor belt being dusted with wheat flour.  That is about the extent
of my knowledge & what I have said so far.

I would like to know from you what is the best information I can give
these companies when I ask them about their product lines so that I have
a better chance of getting accurate feedback.

In each case I have ask them for their response in writing: a brochure,
a letter or even just an email.

I will summarize for anyone else who wants to go gf product hunting!   :)
