Tazo Organic Iced Greentea

[dksart]

My hubby just brought me this and I want it bad, now!

The ingredients label says natural flavors, so I called the site and they assured me it contains no allergens. Allergens? What about gluten, I'm worried there maybe barley.

I hope someone knows for sure, I am not going to trust the person I spoke with. I am already sick and don't want to chance getting sicker.

Thanks.

HELP!!!

I just called them (I drink Awake Tea, so I had a box here with their phone number)

I was told that the Organic Iced Greentea was gluten-free, as are all the bagged leaf teas.

Enjoy!

Thanks jersey!

When I called my answer was too vague to trust. Especially since I've already been sick from the Mono, I didn't want to take even the slightest chance.

No problem

Are you feeling any better today?

Thanks, I am feeling much "brighter" if you know what I mean. I went to see my niece and nephew in their costumes on Halloween (but I did not attempt to go trick or treating with them.) Yesterday I rested all day and today will be my first attempt at shopping in a month. My mom and sister are picking me up and we will have a light lunch and try to visit a few stores at the outlet mall. They already said we could leave as soon as I get tired. I am hoping for about 5-6 stores, but I am just happy to get to go somewhere!

I'll report on my Mono thread when we get back.

jerseyangel, ..I've had their Wild Orange & Earl Grey since celiac so far so good ..but on their website it says (and ofcourse I just rechecked 1min ago)

All of our teas are gluten free, except for the following: Green Ginger, Tazo Honeybush and Lemon Ginger & Tea Lemonade

The first two are bagged teas, last two bottled.

So the customer service rep is right about the Organic Ice Tea. But either the rep is wrong or the website is, about the 2 filterbags... I plan on avoiding those.

Snow Angel,

Thank you for posting this. It's so important to keep the info here accurate.

I just called Tazo again. The lady I spoke to apologized that the previous person had stated that "all bagged teas were gluten-free". The four teas that you listed all contain "natural flavors"--which in the case of Tazo means that this is a proprietary blend of ingredients that "may or may not" contain gluten. They won't divulge the formula, so we must assume it is not safe for us.

She told me that her instructions for customers inquiring about gluten (she read this to me) were to "steer consumers away from any teas with natural flavors".
