Is La Yogurt gluten free?
Because even the smallest amounts of gluten may affect gluten-sensitive individuals, we avoid the term gluten free. Our La Yogurt Plain yogurts (Whole Milk, Low-fat and Fat-Free) are gluten safe in that they contain no gluten source ingredients.

This leads me to believe that a product that claims to be "gluten safe" is not necessarily gluten free. Gluten safe just means they contain no gluten source ingredients. But during processing has more than the less than 20PPM required to be called gluten free.

What do you think?

I thought i'd read that some of the folks who advertise their oats as gluten-free actually spot test them to assure they remain below whatever the limit is. I wonder if they mean that they dont put any gluten in it knowingly, but dont test to confirm? Sounds like CYA, huh?

It does indeed sound like CYA, which must be cheaper than Quality Control. You see more and more CYA replacing Quality Control. mad.gif
