Emergen-c

I don't know if you guys use this stuff (I do and I love it) -- it works like coffee, except no caffeine and tons of vitamins and minerals (its actually pretty incredible for hangover as well )

Here is their response:

Thank you for your interest in Emer'gen-C.

In testing, we found that Raspberry and Mixed Berry Emer'gen-C may

contain wheat (some processes and extracts utilize wheat proteins),

however, ALL of the others are free from wheat, barley, and rye (and gluten).

Sincerely,

Mango,

I like the Lemon-Lime, the Tangerine and the Orange.

Its so convienent to put the packet in your bottled water and "go"... Plus, is sorta tasted like Crystal Light (but with vitamins and minerals)

Oh shoot, I think I just threw out a bunch of these...didn't even think to look at the engredients, lol. I just assumed they weren't okay for some reason.

just the word maltodextrin freaked me out, but it had tapioca in front of it so I just downed 2 tangerine packets.

I love Emergen-C! I work with children and I drink that stuff everyday during the winter so I won't get sick. I'm glad to hear the orange flavor is gluten free. That's my favorite.

And without all the nasty artifical sweeteners!

Argh! Thanks so much for sharing that. I never would have thought there would be gluten in Emergen-C. Good thing I like the orange.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
