Martha White Gluten Free Muffin Mixes

[LauraTX]

At my grocery store I picked up a gluten-free Blueberry muffin mix in with the pouch martha white mixes.  Those are something I had through my childhood so I picked one up and it was pretty good. Only made 5 muffins which is just enough when you don't need to be eating a giant batch.  Full of articifial crap but good for a nostalgic treat, haha. There was no GFCO seal or anything on it so I wrote asking about shared facilities/equipment/testing and this was their reply.  Their parent company is smuckers who will label any gluten containing ingredient on their products, by the way.

According to their website they have a chocolate muffin mix as well, haven't seen that one.  

 

TL;DR: Their blueberry muffins are tasty, cheap, and according to mfg they test finished product and run on shared equipment with very thorough cleaning/QC protocols.  I feel okay with them, but super sensitives may not.  Would be a great thing for kids.
