Taylor Ham

[debmidge]

Response from the people at Clan Thompson who called them at my request of which I am grateful.

Hi,

I talked to Taylor Provisions of Trenton, NJ. They said that they use no gluten containing grains in the ingredients used to make their Taylor Hams. However, there could be "cross contamination from wheat fed to the animals." I asked them if the only source of "cross-contamination" was from wheat the animals might eat and he said yes. However, here's what celiac expert DR. GUANDALINI says about gluten in meat: "You shouldn't worry about getting grass-fed meats at all. The amount of intact gluten that may be found in meats from animals fed with any gluten-containing grain is likely to be infinitesimally small, and most certainly below what we know is the minimal amount of gluten that celiac patients can tolerate on a daily basis: about 20 mg. "

If you want to call taylor Provisions yourself, the phone number is 609-392-1113

I hope this info helps.

Best wishes,
