Bailey's states they cannot guarantee it is GF because it contains whiskey. This is from the FAQ on their website:
Gluten:
Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain which contains gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice to persons requiring a gluten free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys. http://www.baileys.com/
RJ's Note: The whiskey is distilled, which should make it GF.

In the FAQ section of www.carnationinstantbreakfast.com/Products website, they state:
"The flavorings used in NESTLÉ CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFAST Ready-To-Drink contain barley extracts, which contribute less than 1 part per million of barley gluten in the final product. We have recently added a statement to the label indicating the existence of barley in these products. . . . For our Powders, the only variety containing gluten is Classic Chocolate Malt, which has wheat flour and barley extracts. All other Powder varieties do not contain gluten."

RJ's note: The new packaging for Celestial Teas actually will say "gluten free" somewhere on the box if it is GF.

"We do not have lists of products that are specifically considered to be gluten free. Reading the label is the best way to check for the presence of ingredients which contain gluten. If gluten is an ingredient it is listed separately and not under "natural flavors" or "spices". Consumer health and safety is our number one concern, and we do not want to provide information which may not be accurate in the future.

The Hain Celestial Group's labeling declares major allergens (peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, and wheat) and we follow the U.S. FDA's regulations. In addition, our labeling always declares gluten containing ingredients. We recognize the serious nature of the allergen issue and we strive to minimize risk.

Both major and minor ingredients of all products, as well as all processing procedures and equipment, are closely scrutinized and all potential allergen issues as determined by the Hain Celestial Group are declared on our labeling.

We assure you that strict manufacturing processes and procedures are in place and that all of our manufacturing facilities follow rigid allergen control programs that include staff training, segregation of allergen ingredients, production scheduling, and thorough cleaning and sanitation." George, Consumer Relations Representative, 1-800-434-4246

"We appreciate your concern in regards to gluten-free foods. As perhaps your own investigations have disclosed, wine itself is gluten free. However, there may be some possible contamination from other sources, including yeast, fining agents, filters, fortifying alcohol, and barrel sealing materials.

We have done some investigating ourselves, including contacting our vendors of such materials. In the case of the yeast, fining agents and filters, the answer was basically negative. All of these materials are gluten free. We do use a flour paste to seal the barrels used to age our wine. While a minute amount of gluten may find its way into the wine from this source, we have had independent testing performed by researchers at the University of Nebraska, and their results indicate the amount is below detection levels.

There is also the possibility that gluten could be present in the packaging materials in which wines are shipped. As for the fortifying alcohol question, we do not produce any fortified wines at all." Elaine, Fetzer, www.fetzer.com

The following was received by email: "Gatorade products including-- Thirst Quencher, Endurance Formula, G2, Energy Drink, Nutrition Shake and Propel Fit Water-- have no added gluten.

We understand that individuals sensitive to gluten cannot digest even trace amounts and are concerned about its presence in the products they select. We always try to consider these concerns when developing Gatorade products." Michael, Gatorade Consumer Response

" We now have newer and more accurate testing methods for Gluten testing. With the new testing methods there have been no traces of Gluten found in our Rice Products and we are now labeling the Rice Dream Beverages Gluten F ree.There have been no changes made to the product formulas to make th em Gluten Free." James, Consumer Response Representative

Note: Rice Dream is made by Hain Celestial, who declare all gluten ingredients on their products. See Manufacturer Statements.

Per email: "Although we do not have a list of gluten-free products, we're happy to tell you-- all Tropicana products that are 100% juice are gluten free. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that gluten is not present in products that are less than 100% juice.

You can easily determine if a Tropicana product is 100% juice by looking for the Nutrition Facts Panel on the package; the percentage of juice is located just above that panel." Michael, Tropicana Consumer Response www.tropicana.com
