This product lists barley and rye in the ingredients. These grains normally contain gluten. Is the product really gluten-free?

All I know is that in big letters it says Gluten Free. On the back the ingredients are listed: extracts of roasted barley, rye, chicory root, dandelion root and sugar beet. Dandy Blend is an instant herbal beverage with Dandelion, It is 100% Caffeine Free, no acidity and no bitterness. The is a delicious beverage and I'm so happy I found it. S. Carlson

Yes it says so on the package...the gluten is of the barley and rye is removed. I have no issues using it!

he gluten from the barley and rye is eliminated in the extracting process. Here's how Peter Gail, the owner of the company explains it on their web site: "Dandy Blend is made of the water-soluble extracts of five ingredients--three roots and two grains. The ingredients are roasted separately and them combined in prescribed proportions, placed into a vat, covered with hot water, and allowed to steep for a prescribed period of time. The water, with the soluble portions of all the components, is separated from the grounds and spray dried. The remaining fine brown powder left after the water is driven off is what becomes Dandy Blend. All the gluten and other water-insoluble substances are left behind in the grounds to be composted. "Hence, there is no gluten in Dandy Blend. Goosefoot Acres periodically submits samples of Dandy Blend to Elisa Technologies Laboratory in Florida, one of the most respected gluten testing labs in the United States for analysis, and so far, every test has come back gluten-free.

It states "No gluten. All gluten from barley and rye is eliminated in the extracting process." This is written on the back of my bag.

They say on the package that the gluten is taken out in the processing of the barley. Whether this is true or not I don't really know.

I love this product, however, I don't believe that it is gluten-free since barley and rye are included in the wheat family.

It says it is, so it must be. Can you imagine the lawsuits? My friend is extremely sensitive to gluten, even getting sick if flour touches her food, and she drinks it with no problem.

I have used this product with no gluten reaction. I like this product. It would be up to you. I'm gluten intolerant, I do not have celiac decease.
1622564
If you have celiac, like I do, it's a NO! Even though the gluten is eliminated, there's still less than 20 PPM of gluten in the product. I get the gluten rash and serious runs until all the gluten leaves my body. So, even though they say it's gluten free, it's NOT zero gluten !!!!!

I am sorry, but never heard of wheat flour that is completely gluten free. This flour in particular is low gluten.

Adding to my response yesterday...sprouted wheat has gluten in it but this Super Seed Beyond Fiber does not contain sprouted wheat or barley which would include gluten. I purchase this regularly with success and my children use it without complaint!

This product is probably not gluten free. Though it contains only soybean oil and cottonseed oil along with some sort of glycerides, the machines that produce it.... Also process wheat, nuts, etc.

Barley typically contains small amounts of gluten. Barley is not considered a gluten free product. I don't know what you are planning to use this item for, but if you are looking for a gluten free substitution try using yacon root syrup. I use this with all my Gluten free clients.

The ingredients list no MSG, As for gluten there are no grains listed so I would assume no gluten

It does not mention gluten in the list of ingredients. So there should not be any gluten.

Gluten (from Latin gluten, "glue") is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. So yes, this is gluten free since it has no wheat in it.

It does not state Gluten Free as you can see on the container. One concern with oat flour (and possibly oat bran) is that there may be contamination with wheat, rye, or barley during the process of milling. Your call.

My wife says that it probably is gluten-free because the ingredients identified on the package says: Organic skim milk (nothing else). Gluten is a combination of the natural proteins found in wheat, and to a much lesser extent, in rye and barley. Since the package does not identify wheat, rye or barley as an ingredient, it probably is gluten-free.

According to the following sites, and others, barley should be avoided by persons on a gluten-free diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free_diet and http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/glutenfreegrains/f/Is-Barley-Gluten-Free-Or-Does-Barley-Contain-Gluten.htm

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Corn has no gluten so it is always gluten free.
