Fruit Stripe Gum

i called farley's & sathers, the makers of fruit stripe gum, to check on their gluten-free status since the ingredients include natural and artificial flavors. the lady read through the ingredients and said that it didn't contain wheat because there is no allergen alert of any of the big 8. this was my first call to a company so i didn't think to inquire further. i took it to mean that their company labels anything with the big 8 on it, so if there's no warning, it's not in there. should i call back and grill her further? what would you do? here's what their website says:

"Allergen/Gluten List Policy

For product specific information regarding the Big 8 allergens and cross-contamination associated with these allergens, please contact Farleys & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. Consumer Relations at 1-888-247-9855 or complete our Feedback form to receive information. Due to changes that may occur in the manufacturing and packaging environments, Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. does not provide allergen or gluten free lists."

I don't know about that specific product as I don't chew gum but I usually ask if there is any wheat, rye or barley in the product or it's natural flavors when I call about a product. Wheat is in the 8 allergen listing but barley, oats and rye are not.

so i sent another email to clarify: "i have an allergy question about your baby bottle pop 2D mix. does it, or the 'natural and artificial flavors' within it, contain any wheat, barley, rye, or oat ingredients? my daughter has celiac's disease and cannot tolerate any of those."

the response i got was: "All of our products are gluten free."

would you trust a response like that?

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      Food Tasting Salty

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post
