I realize that this thread is about Trader Joes but plenty of other companies do this as well, though. They state on the packages that the product is gluten free but when you look on the back of the package, it states that it was manufactured in a shared plant. It's frustrating to those of us who have multiple allergies/intolerances.
That's why people need to read the whole package and not rely on symbols (which may mean nothing at all). I don't have a problem with any of the gluten free Trader Joe's food that I have tried but I do have problems with foods from other companies who have the same claims on their labels. I try to limit eating foods that are processed on shared lines. Each person should do as they see fit.
