Moose Munch Bars

[mellajane]

They really did not make me feel 100% so if i really need them its one of those things you take a chance eating. But on the lighter note.... I am a chocolate addict... If chocolate got taken away i would be very sad. Yes I have given up some favorites but I am excited about moving on........You'll rock for Recommendations.. Im check them out.

Yes, we have one of their stores nearby, and was there recently, as my husband loves their truffles. I was browsing, seeing if there was anything there I could eat, and I noticed that a lot of their items have that allergen statement.

Someone just sent me some Harry and David truffles as part of a craft swap, and I see that CYA disclaimer on the package. I never really know what that means--just that they want to avoid lawsuits, or that they really DO have a big old dirty, messy plant with wheat flour floating all over.

Having spoken with them recently, the reason they do not currently print their specific allergens on packaging is due to the fact that they cannot guarantee 100% flour free environment in all points of their products journey to packaging. Some companies choose to allow a certain amount of gluten to get into their food and still call it gluten free but Harry and David has thus far opted for a policy that only foods that have no potential contact with any gluten can be labeled gluten free. As far as I know, they are working to make this more clear and are certainly aware of the need for more concise ingredient lists for those who cannot process gluten.

Thank you for contacting us.

Harry and David Operations, Inc. is in compliance with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (Title II of Public Law 108-282) as of January 1, 2006. Harry and David is 100% compliant with the new Act as currently defined.

We have contacted our ingredient suppliers to insure that all ingredients, including gluten-related ingredients, are declared on the label. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, our labels list all ingredients. Because Gluten is found in wheat and some other grain products we encourage you to read the ingredient information carefully and determine if the product is appropriate for your consumption. Our Moose Munch is unfortunately not gluten free.

If we may be of any further assistance, please let us know.

Best Wishes,

Jessica S.
