Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per million) (0.02%) gluten. Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard and we are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free.

We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in all these other products is very low - perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufactured from plants that gluten-sensitive people could react to, so we are unable to state categorically that they are totally gluten-free even though they may have undetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very low threshold for gluten content. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individuals should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.

We hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact us again.

I tend to get oddly contaminated when drinking Minute Maid juice the fruit blend and the cranberry cocktail. It's as if I get a mild contamination? Weird huh? It's taken me so long to connect the juice to it! Who knew juice wasn't safe? I personally recommend to stay away.

The post you are responding to is from 2008.  Products can change in 8 years, so you should probably check the current ingredients and websites.

 

That said, its unlikely juice will contain or be cc'd with gluten.  But if it bothers you, don't drink it.

I know it's an old post but the list was helpful. Thanks for it!

I have both gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance. Sometimes my reaction to a food has nothing to do with gluten but because there is lactose somewhere in the product. I think that people overlook the fact that you can react to a food based on ingredient (s) other than gluten/wheat. You might want to look at the ingredient list to see if there is a common one that you might be reacting to. But as someone else said, if you feel bad after drinking it, don't drink it anymore.

But a eight -ten year old list shouldn't be helpful!  It might give you a place to look for updated info.  In this case, drinks, the info probably hasn't changed from a gluten perspective.  But there have been other products that have added or deleted gluten in the space of a few years.
