One of the ingredients is Natural Flavors.  This could mean almost anything
(including barley and wheat based ingredients), and most Celiac support groups
recommend avoiding any product with Natural Flavors unless you can verify
exactly what it means.  Often this is impossible due to lack of cooperation
from the food company.

In addition, grain alcohol is sometimes (often?) used as a carrier for natural
flavors.  Although it is a matter of controversy within the celiac community,
many feel that toxic portions of gluten can remain in grain alcohol, and avoid
such products.
