Hello,

I notice you have added breads and onion rings and other products containing gluten to your repertoire. How does that affect the gluten free status of your fries? Are these gluten containing products run on the same lines or cooked together with the fries? Are the onion rings cooked in the same oil as the fries? Can the flour from the breads accidently contaminate the fries?



Then Celiac community applauds your gluten free fries and loves them dearly, however, as our health is dependent upon being totally free from gluten, we would appreciate a quick and speedy answer.



Thank you,

Terri
