"safe" Brands

[misskris]

I've seen the list of "safe" brands on here (I think it's Kaiti who posted?) but I was wondering what that meant.

Ok, for example, if a product from one of those companies contains maltodextrin, am I safe in assuming that's from a gluten-free source??

Please clarify. I'm still confused.

Maltodextrin in food(medication is excluded) is safe in the US unless otherwise stated on the label. This is a law they must follow.

As far as safe brands are concerned...they are ones that will not hide any wheat,rye,barley,oats under anything even otherwise questionable. So you just have to read the label with those brands, no need to call because they will clearly put wheat,rye,barley,oats right on there.

A question about the Wal-Mart deal... what exactly are they doing? From what I understand, they are making the brands they sell in the stores put on the label if it has wheat, barley, etc,.... or is it going to force them to put clearly on the label GLUTEN FREE..?

I think Wal-Mart is going to do the "Gluten Free" labeling.

That would be awesome! It is nice when the box screams GLUTEN FREE at you. I always feel much better.
