Maybe I'm being stupid. Can someone tell me if this answers the question..."Do you clearly label barley, rye & oats on your ingredient labels?"
Keep in mind, I've never asked them what they consider gluten-free. It's helpful and needed info, but I've asked the above questions 2 times...
| Quote: | Gluten is the generic name for certain types of proteins contained in the common cereal grains, wheat, barley, rye and their derivatives. These proteins are found in ALL forms of wheat (including durum, graham, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn and faro) and related grains rye, barley and triticale. Malt, malt flavoring, malt vinegar (are generally made from barley-
Again, we consider "gluten free" to mean no gluten ingredients are in the product, whether directly added, or potentially present due to cross-contact. In other words, if a product label has an allergen advisory statement such as "made on equipment" or "facility that also processes wheat etc... ", we do not consider that product to be gluten free.
It is important to ALWAYS read product labels/packaging for the most accurate information. |

I think what this says most to me is that they hire people for customer service and don't train them well. This reply looks mostly like someone searched their data base for the "rye, barley and oats" and found the "gluten free" "pat" answer and really didn't bother to read just what your question asked! That's really sad. I suspect that you need to reach someone higher up on the food chain to get a proper answer.

Yup, you need to get to the food chemist level. This is best accomplished by calling a physical plant and asking to be transfered. There should be a food chemist overseeing the production facility (in theory)
