Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free Statement

30th November, 2009 - Posted by Scott - No Comments

After having a hard time recently finding Cornmeal that was guaranteed to be Gluten Free, I settled on Arrowhead Mills.  The side of the package cornmeal package was labeled gluten free, but for more information, contact them.  The representative was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the status of their products and assured that I did not have to worry about any cross contamination, as they regularly cleaned and tested the processing line.  Doing further research lead me to this statement on the Hain Celestial Group Gluten Free Choices website:

If you or someone you cook for lives gluten-free, you know how confusing it can be to eat well. The Hain Celestial Group is dedicated to providing wholesome, great-tasting gluten-free products that take the stress out of shopping and cooking. And we’re committed to supporting your diet with recipes and helpful tips. You can count on us for all your gluten-free needs.

At Hain Celestial, we take every measure possible to ensure that all of our products labeled as gluten-free meet our high standards of testing. Our gluten-free products contain less than 10 parts per million of the gluten protein in wheat, rye and barley which is well below the international standards of 20 parts per million.

We conduct tests at every step, from product development through production and packaging, to ensure that no ingredient contains a detectable amount of gluten, and that high standards are maintained and monitored at production facilities to avoid cross-contamination.

Our facilities are allergen cleaned before every gluten-free product run and allergen test samples from every batch we produce are sent out to independent laboratories for allergen testing. In addition, we educate the people who work with our gluten-free products, and those who handle our raw ingredients, so the purity of your food is never compromised.
