"Thanks again for bringing this to our attention. We are in the process of changing the labels over to include the GFCO logo. While this product does not have any gluten containing ingredients, these batches are not certified gluten-free. These items were added to the list prematurely, and we will remove them until the labels have been updated and all batches go through testing to ensure the absence of gluten. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you"

Thank you Simply Organic and Frontier Naturals COOP for reporting back to us so quickly.

As a side note:  It is important to know that Elisa Assay Test Kits can create false negatives when they are not used properly.

Sun Flour Baking - Gluten and Wheat Alert

Sun Flour Baking as of July 2012 is testing cookies with an Elisa at Home Test Kit.  All cookies show non-detectable at 5ppm.

Sun Flour Baking states the following regarding the gluten status of their products:

"Do you guarantee that your cookies are Egg, Dairy, Wheat, Gluten, Sugar and Peanut Free?"  
"All Sun Flour products are produced in a 100% vegan dedicated facility, which means that we DO guarantee that our cookies are free of ALL animal products.  We cannot guarantee that there won't be trace amounts of wheat, gluten, sugar or peanut because all of our products are processed on the same equipment.  However, all utensils and machinery are cleaned thoroughly between each batch, so it is at your discretion whether or not to purchase Sun Flour products."
