Weird Gluten Statement On Tetley Website

[gabby]

I recently bought some Tetley chamomile tea and noticed the nutrition label said it contained 15mg of sodium per serving. I thought this was weird...how can chamomille have sodium? So I went to their website (Canadian website). I coudn't find any reference to the sodium, but I came across this weird gluten statement.

"

Q. Do Tetley teas or iced teas contain wheat or gluten?

A. To the best of our knowledge, our products are gluten free and do not have any processing contact with products that contain gluten. However, we cannot guarantee 100% that our products are free from all traces of gluten. Tea is a natural product typically made from a number of origins where there is a very low risk of contamination from the supply chain environment.

Where there is a strong allergy to gluten, we would advise that you consult your doctor to obtain medical and dietary advice."

We don't have the new labelling laws here in Canada...so I'm wondering why they'd put such a statement on their site???

Complete legal BS. They put this up in case some wheat blows in from somewhere.
