I just found a bag of juice based fruit snacks by Sun Rype at our Costco. Just wanted to tell you all how thrilled I am with this product. I called Sun Rype and spoke to a lovely lady who let me know how gluten-free their products are. Only their bars are made on shared equipment in a different facility at this time, but they are in the process of moving the bars to completely gluten free environment. She said that their line of products is all over in Canada. While we do not have Safeway stores around me, they are also being carried in Safeway stores in the U.S. at this time. I wrote to Costco asking them to stock more of Sun Rype stuff (the current product is a bag of berry bites snacks). Nice product! Kids were very happy. No corn!

WOW! No I have more praises for this company. They phoned me in the States today to clarify that there is not currently a time line for the facility move of their bars. They feared that people would read my comment and be checking regularly at the stores. I thought that was very considerate. Right now, there is not a scheduled move for the Sun Rype bars - it is in the future. My celiac and highly allergic daughter enjoys the products.

They also emailed me this:
"Sun-Rype is excited to advise that we recently launched a variety of our
100% fruit snack products in the U.S. The great taste of Sun-Rype
comes with no artificial flavours or artificial colours. Fruit snack products
currently available in the US include: Squiggles Fruit Twists, Fruit Strips,
FruitSource, FruitSource plus Veggie bars and FruitSource Mini Bites.
These all natural, 100% fruit snacks are now available in the produce
section of most Safeway stores across the United States. And, as you
are aware we have recently launched some of our products through
select Costco locations.

The great taste of Sun-Rype contains only naturally occurring sugars and
comes with no artificial flavors and no artificial colors because we know
that what's not in our fruit snacks is just as important as what is! For

Only Sun-Rype FruitSource and FruitSource Plus Veggie 1.3oz (37g)
100% fruit bars are manufactured in a plant that processes peanuts, tree
nuts, egg, wheat, sesame, soybean and milk products. We recommend
you try Sun-Rype Squiggles 100% Fruit Twist, Sun-Rype 100% Fruit
Strips, FruitSource Mini Bites and FruitSource Mini Bites Plus Veggie as
they do not contain these allergens and would be an alternate snack
choice for individuals with food sensitivities. "
