Welcome!

Tocopherols are very highly processed. The Canadian Celiac Association lists them as gluten-free in food, regardless of the source. Not everyone agrees, so make your own decision. I don't worry about tocopherols.

Thanks - I didn't have a reaction but I was concerned as it is on the taboo list.

This is my first post but I've been reading you guys for weeks and found SO much helpful information since going totally gluten-free last month.

I'm confused about Vitamin E - I know this is in a lot of beauty products and is derived from wheat germ. I was using Peanut Oil the other day and noticed in the ingredients that it contains peanut oil, tocopheryl acetate and tocopherol (Vitamen E). Do I need to worry about this or is this just derived from the peanuts?
