<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The manufacturer called back (to answer the question about a dedicated production area for gluten free waffles) to say they high pressure "air spray" off the line to clean it between gluten & non-gluten production of waffles. One of the ingredients are "natural flavors"- they said it is vanilla. When asked if the vanilla contained alcohol...... they said they would get back to me, and that they plan to discontinue the use of the vanilla in the recipie. Still investigating to see if it is waffle heaven or the opposite. Fran <grin>
