Here is the reply I got to my inquiry about possible cross contamination from their new lines of breads and onion rings, etc.

Dear Terri,

Thank you for your interest in Alexia Foods!

We are pleased to inform you that our potato products will continue to be gluten free. Our new Alexia Artisan Breads and Appetizers are produced in a separate facility so there is no chance of cross-contamination.

Subject: Cross contamination

Hello,

I notice you have added breads and onion rings and other products containing gluten to your repertoire. How does that affect the gluten free status of your fries? Are these gluten containing products run on the same lines or cooked together with the fries? Are the onion rings cooked in the same oil as the fries? Can the flour from the breads accidently contaminate the fries?

Then Celiac community applauds your gluten free fries and loves them dearly, however, as our health is dependent upon being totally free from gluten, we would appreciate a quick and speedy answer.

Thank you,

Terri

      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.
