Thanks

Looks gluten free to me, but wouldn't a little haf&half sound better? Learning to read labels makes you more aware of the chemicals that we ingest....yuck.

All of those ingredients are gluten-free, with the possible exception of the artificial flavor. I have never found an artificial flavor that contained gluten, the key being "artificial," but it is not completely impossible. Personally, I would use it, but you need to make your own decision.

If you are concerned about dairy, there is milk protein in it: sodium caseinate.

Half and half will be my purchase next week. HOWEVER, I think I will use it tomarrow.

Thanks both of you....

Peter: I did get glutened from NATURAL flavoras in Dannon Yoghurt and Mrs Butterworths Sugar Free (Barley is a natural flavr for them). Thought I would warn you.

Yeah, I know that NATURAL flavor can hide barley (usually as malt), but I have never found a problem with ARTIFICIAL flavors. There are some companies that will clearly declare gluten sources, and with them you don't need to worry about ambiguous ingredients. I don't know who is behind Members Mark. I use Coffee Mate all the time. Malt is something we need to watch for, hidden or not, as it is a relatively common sweetener listed as a flavor.

Edit: It is from Sam's Club (WalMart owned), but I still don't know anything about the labeling policy. I don't shop at Sam's or at WalMart.

You got me. I saw artificial and in my foogy breain thought natural!

Thank you...went and bought HALF AND HALF. Tastes wierd but I feel better about it.
