    That isn't true. There are strict rules, but they only pertain to intentionally included ingredients derived from gluten grains. Here is the applicable Canadian regulation. Food and Drug Regulation B.24.018 No person shall label, package, sell or advertise a food in a manner likely to create an impression that it is gluten-free unless the food...

    My understanding is that a diagnosis of Dermatitis Herpetiformis is absolute confirmation of celiac disease. The treatment is the same: a gluten-free diet for life. If your DH persists, look for possible gluten sources that you have missed.

    Some Kirkland Signature products are made by Diamond Pet Foods, but I do not believe the products are the same as TOTW. I don't have details, and the link I provided does not mention brands that Pet Valu does not sell.

    Takala, I don't understand. You seem to agree with me on the facts, but post a lengthy rebuttal. I did not comment on Domino's either way. My comment was generic with regard to the idea of dedicated ovens. There are a number of establishments offering gluten-free pizza in Canada and the United States. To my knowledge, none of them have dedicated ovens...

    Procter & Gamble have their own manufacturing facilities and do not use contractors to make kibble.

    I own a retail store in this business. The information ravenwoodglass posted a link to is accurate. The recall is confined to two of the three lines in Diamond's plant. Open Original Shared Link

    Been there, done that, three times. The prep absolutely sucks, but the actual procedure is no big deal. Hang in there.

    A dedicated oven is not going to happen. There is just not enough volume. Commercial ovens are very expensive. Proper preparation procedures, with clean prep areas and utensils, can work with a shared oven.

    General Mills, who own the Green Giant brand, will clearly disclose any gluten ingredient by naming the source grain on the label. But they only state "gluten-free" on a very small subset of their products which they actually test.

    Justin, if you are early in the healing process, your damaged gut could react to just about anything. Do not assume that anything necessarily has gluten just because you have a bad time after consuming it.

    My experience is a bit like Lisa's. For the first five years after my diagnosis, I was a frequent business traveller. Sometimes there was an easy choice. Outback Steakhouse on an expense account was not too painful. Many times it was a matter of looking at possible options, and talking to the people in the restaurant. Higher end places were usually...

    Ingredients do not need to be listed on alcoholic beverages, but my understanding is that if they are listed, they need to comply with all regulations and FALCPA.

    While "natural flavors" can contain gluten, they very rarely actually do. The most likely source would be barley malt, and that is a relatively expensive ingredient, so it is usually explicitly declared as "malt flavor." If there were wheat in it, in the US it would be required by law to be disclosed as just that, "wheat." Open Original Shared Link...

    For the third time, Unilever will clearly disclose any gluten in any of their products. If you do not see a gluten grain named on the label, there is no gluten in the product. The product that mentions barley contains small amounts of gluten. The other product is gluten-free.

    To repeat, Unilever will clearly disclose all gluten sources on the label. If you don't see the name of a gluten grain, the product is gluten-free.

    There seems to be a dispute about nothing here. Let's all give it a rest. I think the original question has been addressed.

    This is the end of an era here in Canada. Today the Royal Canadian Mint will strike the last one-cent coin (penny) ever. Oh, and: May the fourth be with you, Luke.

    USDA rules require that any grain added to meat be declared on the label. FDA rules require that packaged food products disclose wheat using the word "wheat." Broth typically is grain-free, and thus gluten-free. If you know of a specific example where these rules are not followed, please share it with us. PLEASE also tell the USDA or FDA of the violation...

    There is nothing unhealthy or harmful about not eating gluten, or any other grain for that matter. The nutrients in grain are available from many other sources.

    It is generally accepted fact that meat is gluten-free regardless of what the animal ate. There a few who dispute this, but no science to back them up. The same applies to eggs.

    Honey is gluten-free.
