Lesser Evil

(Kettle Corns & Krinkle Sticks)

8/08

" When we developed both our line of Kettle Corns and Krinkle Sticks one of our objectives was to make them gluten free. So for every product we make, all of the ingredients used have been tested to be gluten free based on the FDA's definition of less than 20 parts per million (PPM). We have also conducted testing on our products after full production by a third party laboratory to ensure they they stay below the 20 PPM level. Our gluten free claim and our allergen warning are both compliant with FDA law.

While we're confident that the ingredients we use are gluten free and are vigilant in our production process to significantly reduce the risk of contamination, there are other foods being made at the facilities where we produce that have gluten in them.

The equipment on which we run our Krinkle Sticks does not run wheat products, although there is some equipment in the same facility that does (in a different part of the plant).

As for our Kettle Corns, we run them in a facility and on lines that occasionally run products with wheat. BUT, for both snacks - Krinkle Sticks and Kettle Corns - we have a thorough quality control and cleaning process between all batches, which is standard for most snack facilities and compliant with the FDA.

We will continue to monitor our products to ensure they fall into the FDA's definition of gluten free. As you can see, we state on our packaging that we produce in a facility that processes foods with gluten in order to provide true transparency to anyone deciding to pick up a LesserEvil snack." Kyser, Chief StoryTeller, LesserEvil Brand Snack Co., 914.779.3000 x 106 www.lesserevil.com

Robert's American Gourmet Snacks 2/08 From the FAQ section of their website: Are your snacks gluten-free, why doesn't it say so on the bag? "All of our snacks except for CHAOS, Honey Wheat Pretzels, Veggie Tubes and Tubes are Gluten Free. Since gluten is used on other snacks at the plant, we do not put it on our bags. They run our snacks first, thoroughly clean the machines between runs, and train all the employees on allergen control to reduce the possibility of cross contamination. However, we cannot 100% guarantee that there can never be a cross-contamination. http://www.robscape.com/files/faqs.php#q4
