Manitoba Harvest - No Longer Labelled Gluten Free
My Question:
Though I understand you use a dedicated facility that DOES NOT process any dairy, soy, nut or gluten products, I want to check to see if you know if the seeds are registering detectable with gluten. We are advocating for the safety of our customers both retail and wholesale. Thank you so much for your time!
Manitoba Harvest's Answer:
Thank you for contacting Manitoba Harvest and thinking of hemp foods! For over a decade Manitoba Harvest has strived to deliver the highest quality hemp food products to our valued customers and supporters. Every load of hemp seed that is delivered to our facility is tested for gluten. Gluten tests can fluctuate from lot-to-lot. In August we moved to a more accurate protocol for gluten testing. Our parts per million gluten tests are now +/- accuracy of 5 parts per million (versus our previous accuracy of +/- 10, which I believe is an industry standard).
Hemp seed is naturally gluten free. However, even one kernel of wheat or barley amongst 50,000 hemp seeds can potentially result in a positive test for gluten. As a vertically integrated (from field to consumer) company, this one kernel/seed could be inadvertently introduced at any point – during harvest, seed cleaning, or delivery to our facility. This potential concerns us greatly. As such do not claim that our products are gluten free. You will notice we have removed the gluten free statement on our labels and instead state: “This product is made at a hemp dedicated facility that does NOT process any dairy, soy, nut or gluten products.”
We are aggressively looking for processes and methodologies that would provide us with certainties on gluten free.

Bob's Red Mill Creamy Buckwheat Cereal -
Bob's Red Mill Creamy Buckwheat Cereal
Double check for a gluten free label on Bob's Creamy Buckwheat Cereal.
Distributors currently have both gluten free labeled buckwheat cereal and not gluten free labeled buckwheat cereal. Both cereals have the same UPC number.
Don't be fooled. Bob's Red Mill always labels their products as gluten free if the product is gluten free. If you don't see a gluten free label, then it's not a gluten free product.

PF Changs Gluten Free Alert
GF Menu Notes:
White rice and brown rice are both gluten free, even though they are not listed as gluten free on the gf menu.
Chili paste and mustard on the table are sourced with gluten free ingredients.
PF Changs alert #1
When ordering the Trio Sauce for Lettuce Wraps,you need to ask for gluten free sauce even if you are already ordering from the gluten free menu.
PF Changs alert #2
With take out:
Before leaving restaurant, double check that no glutenous sauces, cookies, ect... Have been placed in you gluten free containers. Every bag, container and sauce container should have a gluten free sticker. No gluten free sticker? Ask for your meal to be re-made. Additionally, hold on to the product presented to you without a gluten free sticker, until the new meal item has been correctly stickered and brought out to you. At this time, the old meal can be sent back to the kitchen. This same technique should be done for dining in too, when your dinner does not arrive on a gluten free plate (different than the standard plate). Keep plate on the table until a gluten free plate arrives. Then send the old plate back to the kitchen.
As a community we can politely insist that gluten free menus be treated with great care.
