Gluten-free or not? That is the question. Yes, Barbara’s Honey Rice Puffins <\/a> are gluten-free – they are made with no gluten-ingredients and are marked “gluten-free” on the box. I eat them all the time with no issue and both Jon & I are very sensitive. \u00a0 \u00a0Now, there is a new variety of Puffins that is marked “gluten-free”. Multi-Grain Puffins. Here are the ingredients:<\/p>\n

Ingredients: Corn Flour, Dehydrated Cane Juice, Brown Rice Flour, Whole Oat Flour<\/strong>, Fructan (NutraFlora\u00ae Natural Dietary Fiber), Oat Hull Fiber<\/strong>, Calcium Carbonate, Natural Flavor, Baking Soda, Natural Caramel Color, Sea Salt, Ascorbic Acid, Iron, Annatto, Vitamin D, Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols [Soy]).<\/p>\n

Allergy Statement: No peanut ingredients used in this facility. Made on equipment that also manufactures products containing soy, wheat, milk, almonds and hazelnuts.<\/p>\n

Free Of: Artifical Flavors, Colors or Preservatives. No Cholesterol, Hydrogenated Oils or Trans Fats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is nothing on the site or box<\/a> that I could see that specifies whether or not the oats are certified<\/strong> gluten-free. I sent an email to Barabra’s yesterday and am waiting to hear back. I would love it if they were made with the certified gluten-free oats because I am a huge fan of Puffins and would love to have another variety to enjoy!<\/p>\n

What are certified gluten-free oats<\/strong>? They are oats that have not been contaminated with gluten from the gluten-containing grains they are processed with.<\/p>\n

I am patiently awaiting a response from Barbara’s. I will make sure to update here when I hear something.<\/p>\n
