Anybody Call Kraft?

Has anybody called Kraft and asked specifically about Planter's nuts and Crystal Light? I know that some folks who thought both might indeed have wheat and who don't trust Kraft's gluten-free statement were saying they were going to check.

I'm not one who doubts Kraft. I did e-mail them, to which I recieved the statement that we have all come to know and love (ok not ALL ) I'll post the e-mail I got from them.

Hi Jessica,

Thank you for visiting Open Original Shared Link.

We understand how important it is for people who have been medically diagnosed with gluten sensitivity to have accurate information about foods to help plan their meals and diets. Therefore, it has been a long standing policy for all Kraft and Nabisco products to list ingredients that contain gluten on the ingredient statement. These items will be listed using commonly known terms such as Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye. For other ingredients that contain gluten, the grain source will be declared in parenthesis after the ingredient name. For example, if the ingredient "natural flavor" contains a gluten source, the label would read: natural flavor (contains rye). Other ingredients that contain gluten are: Triticale, Spelt, Kamut, Mir or Farina (also known as Far or Farro).

For Kraft-branded products that contain vinegar, information from our vinegar suppliers assures us that the vinegar we use in our products is gluten free. All vinegar is distilled and through the distilling process protein gluten is removed.

If you would like additional information or to view our Gluten Fact Sheet please visit our website, www.kraftfoods.com and type gluten in the "Search Kraft" box.

I hope this assists you in making food choices that are appropriate for your personal needs. If you have additional questions about your personal dietary needs, please consult your doctor or a registered dietician.

Thank you for contacting us and please add our site to your favorites and visit us again soon!

For those of us who do not doubt the company, just reinforces what we already knew. For the doubters, guess they had better make some phone calls.

Not that I was a doubter, but this reply is even more detailed than I've seen in the past and definitely improves my confidence in them. Thanks for posting it Jessica!
