This is great news! I've never had the black bean but it sure sounds good. I have their wheat-free vegan gardenburgers in my freezer right now, they have oats in them but no wheat - When I'm done with them I want to only buy ones that are truly and completely gluten-free... so this info is helpful. Thanks!

It looks like only the Black Bean Chipote is gluten-free, am I right about that?

[ebrbetty]

the grilled is gluten-free too, i had it for lunch today, had a leftover corn taco shell so i nuked the burger, topped with kraft shredded cheese [lactose free ] broke it up, stuffed it in the taco shell with lettuce and olives..it was good, fast and low fat too

I just looked again at the product info and the Grilled has soy sauce in it, which has wheat.

"Flame Grilled Burger Ingredients

Contains: soy and wheat "

Have you ever had any CC issues from the Black Bean?

Arghh! That's awful. How can they call it gluten-free?

Or is flame-grilled different?

Yeah, that isn't gluten free. erbetty- Will you e-mail Linda and ask her to correct the information or explain what she meant?

I just looked again at mine, the flame grilled says "gluten free" in red, I looked at the ingredients, yup, its gluten-free

I'm wondering if they have either changed the product or if the website was wrong. I looked for the Black Bean today at Wegmans (the only BB they had was in a #@&* wheat flour wrap) but they had the Grilled kind. Although it didn't say gluten-free on the box it looked safe. I hope they aren't reformulating the grilled ones and adding the soy sauce that would be a real bummer. I have bad reactions to CC so I decided to forgo these for myself because so many of the other ones have wheat.

from what i gather they changed the ingredients..I looked at them at a different grocery store and they did not say gluten free, but the ones I have do, its marked on the side of the box in red..i think once all the stores sell out of the older boxes you will see them

I get sick really easy..had another one just on a plate today with the kraft lactose free cheese and I'm ok

We can't divulge a complete list of

animals.

But can they reassure you that none of natural flavours and spices comes from a gluten source?

Excellent point.
