Gluten Freewhat is gluten anyway?
Gluten is the protein commonly found in wheat, rye and barley. It's found in most mainstream bakery and prepared foods (like breads, pastas and snacks) but it also hides in other unexpected foods such as soy sauce, licorice, soups, salad dressings, Playdough® and some medicines. Oats are also considered by some to be a source of gluten since they are grown, processed and stored near wheat (that's why we choose not to use oats in our products).
It's important to remember that "wheat-free" does not necessarily mean "gluten-free" since the food might contain rye or barley.
