Organic gluten-free Candy Drops

[LuvMoosic4life]

SOOOOOO. I was really excited when I saw these hard candies by "Yummy Earth." The back says "gluten free, wheat free, GMO free ..etc.. etc"

I was eating them and then looked at the ingredients and the bottom of the list that says after natural flavors, "May contain organic wheat grass". I looked on the web site and found out what they had to say since I was shocked and confused....

has anyone ate these before???? I havent had a reaction...at least as far as I know now

10. Does Organic Wheat Grass Juice have gluten in it?

We have tested for gluten at the University of Nebraska. There is no gluten in the organic wheat grass juice

11. Organic Wheat Grass:

YummyEarth used organic wheat grass because it was a great gluten and wheat free way to achieve the color greenheat grass (we first

tested the wheat grass at the University of Nebraska), but it caused too much confusion amongst our food sensitive fans, so we

stopped using it in the flavors below and we labeled all the rest of the product that had wheat grass "may contain wheat grass" so

people could make up their own minds whether to eat these flavors. I would not feed something to my wheat-anaphylactic son that even

had the word "wheat" in the name - so surely that was a miscalculation on our part and a lesson learned as parents and manufacturers;

of course, nobody reported getting sick because there was not gluten or wheat in the wheat grass, but it was just too confusing to all

and we advise everyone to avoid wheat grass if you are gluten free or wheat free just so we don't add to any confusion.

So they can sell more of the products. Thanks for the heads up on this candy.
