Hello List,
I just recieved a product that I ordered from an online (reputable) gluten free retailer. The item is a clear container of pizelles that have a neon green "gluten free" sticker on the front of the clear container. If you flip the container over, there a statement below the ingredient listing that says "Manufactured by a facility that also processes wheat flour."
Now doesn't this sound like an oxymoron?
I have never seen a product that is clearly labeled as "gluten free" have such a statement on it.
Any thoughts? Doesn't that seem like making a claim that an item is peanut free and then putting a statement in small letters on the back of the product that the product was manufactured in a facility that processes nuts? I just find this to be bizarre. I'm not interested in requesting a refund or anything like that.... I guess I wondering if any of you would purchase such a product if you knew this about the product labeling? In my opinion, it's different if you buy a product that "appears" to be gluten free according to the ingredient listing, doesn't have a specific "gluten free" label or sticker on it, and THEN read such a statement.... but to have it clearly labeled as gluten-free and then read such a statement seems a bit misleading.
