Title: gluten question
Post by: Jenn© on December 08, 2005, 21:35:25 pm

I happened to read the back of an apple juice bottle and it said  gluten free.   :?  I thought that a bit odd .  Do some end up with gluten?  Just wondering and figured someone here would  know.

I would think it's more for marketing purposes rather than juices having gluten (although you never know, it's hidden in so much stuff  :roll: ).  It's probably so those avoiding gluten know that's it's a "definite" rather than relying on dodgy or incomplete labelling.

HTH :)

I agree. I don't know anything about gluten but since I have to avoid dairy it's funny some of the foods that are labeled Dairy Free. It's like, "well, duh........" :roll: But I must say it's still a surprise at some foods that do sneak it in too. Guess it just reminds you to read those labels. :roll:

Actually I've remembered that juices CAN have gluten, they often add "natural flavours", which are often wheat based - go figure?  :?  :roll:  Doesn't tell you on the bottle that there's wheat since it's disguised in some seemingly innocuous ingredient.
