I trust them in that if they put it on the gluten-free list -- which they did -- that in fact means the product is not meant to have gluten and has no known gluten. Could there be cross contamination? Can't tell you. That's a chance we often take when we eat something processed. It's a fact of life.

As for the chips, I'm not certain whether you mean potato chips from a bag like in the U.S. or something else. With chips from a a bag there's often the chance of cross contamination. If it's a chip cooked locally in oil, was the oil also used for a gluten containing product?

On their page with the 'no gluten source' 'trace gluten' and 'has gluten' lists I found the following which makes me wonder if they know what gluten is. How could a confection called 'barley sugar' be listed under the 'no gluten source'? I think I shall pass on Cadbury chocolates.

According to what I read, TRUE barley sugar is made with extract of barley, which indicates to me it probably doesn't carry over the poisonous effects. In addition, some manufacturers make something they call barley sugar or barley sugar candy without actually using barley. IOW, it's quite possible that Cadbury's barley sugar is indeed gluten-free.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
