I was wondering if someone could give me the quick lowdown on natural flavors. Do they contain gluten or is it one of those things where if its made here it is ok, or certain types of products its ok? Im really confused!! Thanks so much!!!

In theory, you should call to check on it. I've almost never heard of it containing anything other than wheat, and now that wheat has to be labled, it hardly pops up as a problem, but it can happen, so it may well be worth your time to call on.

Unless you're dealing with a company known to disclose gluten, you need to call and ask

Boy do I feel dumb. Lol. I am the strictest person when it comes to being gluten free. How did this 'natural flavors' thing slip by me? Lol. It seems to be in EVERYTHING. I have never had ANY celiac symptoms, so if I get glutened, I wouldnt know. So I try to be extra strict. Blah. I have a lot of phone calls to make now.

Many of the products you already use probably come from companies that have gluten-disclosing policies.

Oh wow, that will help a lot! Thanks so much for the link!!

Ever since I found out that two of my (formerly) favorite teas, with "natural flavors," contain gluten, I check.
