You read it, so I will explain in plain English. They don't make a claim, because they don't test and won't put themselves at risk of a frivolous suit based on an error by a supplier to them. But they will clearly label all ingredients. That means no hidden gluten. Since FALCPA took effect ten years ago, hidden gluten has been extremely rare. Nothing to worry about from my perspective. Enjoy Blue Bunny products--read the label and know.

What Blue Bunny products are gluten-free?

Blue Bunny does not presently validate or certify that our products are "gluten-free" and consequently we do not label our products as such. We are committed to using the highest quality ingredients and reflect all required nutritional information in the nutrition label on each package, to assist consumers in purchasing products that meet their dietary and lifestyle needs.

Welcome, @Anaheimangels40.  :)

Thanks for the update on the Blue Bunny products. :)  This is very old post (2006), and information can change over time. It's also a good idea to read label for any gluten-containing ingredients.  A lot of companies won't validate that their products are gluten free, even though ingredient list might not contain gluten ingredients. It's very important to read labels.

A Friend Owns A Certified Gluten Free Business, They Have To Follow Strict Guidlines To Keep The Certification. She Told Me That A Lot Of Companies Are Claiming Gluten Free But Are Not Certified, Because They Manufacture Non Gluten Free Foods In The Same Factory Where Cross Contamination Happens. She Also Warned Me Against Companies Like Blue Bunny That Do Not Claim Gluten Free, And Just Because There Are Not Any Ingredients With Gluten, They Still Make Other Flavors That Do Have Gluten And Made In The Same Factory, Again Cross Contamination. You Believe What You Want, I Will Believe A Friend Who's Company Is Certified Gluten Free.

Yes, everyone has the right to monitor their diets as they wish but keep in mind that many companies have shared facilities and do a good job to prevent cc.  It is not an assumed automatic that food has been cc'd just because they are made in a shared facility. Lots of Celiac's find companies they can trust, who do not make them sick, without being certified.

I assume you never eat in a restaurant or in other people's homes if gluten is present anywhere on the premises?

I don't worry about the same facility, but I check if it is on the same lines. I think it is usually a good idea to find out if things are made on shared lines. And if they are made on the same line as gluten-containing products how good is the cleaning in between? Chocolate is a good example of this. For example, I contacted a company whose chocolate I used to eat before being diagnosed and they outright told me they are not good about cleaning on shared lines and it is not safe for allergies or celiac. I have had this response from other companies as well (especially when it comes to chocolate sadly). I think this is why Godiva is not safe. Its just a good idea to check.

This is a common sense answer!  ;)

I used to eat Godiva years ago and was dismayed they had no interest in appealing to anyone with a food allergy/intolerance.  That's OK......Ghirardelli chocolates are very good about divulging what they do and most of their chocolates are gluten-free.  Again, you have to understand label reading and investigate further, if need be.  Turns out, I think their chocolates are just as good, if not better.

I'll have to check out Ghirardelli

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      pdm1981 asks what I was also thinking. That is, refractory celiac disease.
    • pdm1981
      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?
