This is from my local CSA Group (Fox Valley, WI). It helped me tremendously in the first few weeks...

I mentioned it several times in other posts..... It loses it's formatting when I cut and paste, but it is still very useful information. If you would like the nice, 1-page document, please PM me with your email and I'll get it off to you.

(As always - read labels anyway!!!)

Thank you so much. I'm new and this is so helpful. I printed it out to keep in my purse.

The food items looked okay as far as I am aware, but I just called Chapstick last week and they said they could NOT guarantee their products were gluten-free, so just be sure to double check!

The key word in that statement is "guarantee"--almost nobody will "guarantee" that something is gluten-free these days. Most legal departments now require that disclaimer be given. What it typically means is that they acquire ingredients from third parties and use them without testing each and every one every time. I use Chapstick, and have never had a problem.

You always give such informative and straightforward advice, Peter! If it weren't for the liability problem, most information regarding gluten-free status would be easier for everyone. I also have used Chapstick without any problems so that is good enough for me.
