ARCHIVED Mr. & Mrs. T Pina Colada Mix
gypsy posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone know if Mr. & Mrs. T Pina Colada Mix is gluten-free? I bought some today thinking that I had read somewhere that it is gluten-free, but apparently I had it confused with another brand. Please let me know if you have any information on it. Thanks, Maryann
