Gluten Free Labeling

[Rdykilowat]

Can anyone comment on using products that don't appear to contain gluten based on the ingredients label, but are not labeled gluten free, and are likely produced in a facility that also processes wheat? I have been trying to navigate the gluten-free diet for approximately three months now, and I get nervous about this issue. I am also always concerned about a product that lists, as an example, natural flavoring. If I understand correctly, by FDA standards, if the natural flavoring contained an allergen, it should be listed in an obvious way ("natural flavoring (wheat)"), but I am not familiar enough to know if I can make the assumption that if it does not list wheat or gluten, that it is safe to eat.

When you are unsure, the best thing to do is call the company!
