<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello I recently tried a new POW! bar which is made by New Earth. POW! is a delicious new energy bar based on raisins and hemp seed and other natural ingredients. I am very impressed by POW! I find it to be absolutely delicious. There is information available on their web page http://www.hemp.co.uk I noticed that POW!, although announced as gluten free in press releases, is not actually labelled as GF, and I saw maltodextrin on the ingredient list. I called New Earth and enquired about the maltodextrin. They had previously received the same query and could guarantee that their maltodextrin does not come from a gluten containing source such as barley. In future New Earth will update their labelling to make this very clear to everyone. Both POW! and the Organic 9bar are certified Vegan - which means no dairy products whatsoever are used and no ingredients are derived from dairy products. I have no financial interest in New Earth.
