bran muffins

[ironictruth]

I have a hankering to make carrot bran muffins (after I get over my current tummy issues). I found a gluten-free recipe but it calls for Bob's oat bran. The package says gluten-free but the back ingredients list does not indicate certified gluten-free oats.

I sometimes eat certified gluten-free oatmeal and have no trouble.

What's the deal with Bob's?

As I remember, Bob's does their own gluten-free program.  I think they were doing it before there were certifications.  If it says gluten-free, then it is.  Not every company feels the need to pay to put a seal on their package.  It isn't like the certifying organization is actually checking or testing.  Its just training and an agreement - the companies still have to monitor it themselves.
