Yet no measures were taken to eliminate cross-contamination (e.g. one toaster and sandwich prep area for <B>all</B> sandwiches). They seemed rather puzzled and perturbed when I questioned their authority to mark so many items in window display as gluten free. Some people think that as long as the ingredients are gluten free, then the item must be gluten free. It's obvious that many restaurants want to provide gluten free options on their menus to widen their customer base. They just haven't done their homework yet.ABSOLUTELY NOT MARTHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008863087916207861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-80265369141170196772009-02-05T15:17:00.000-07:002009-02-05T15:17:00.000-07:00I was intrigued by your title, Pete, because I bel...I was intrigued by your title, Pete, because I believe there are too many ways we get a false sense of security. Excellent post. I don't use luncheon meat often, but my husband does and although he's not GF, I like to know what we have is GF in case I want some. What I've been doing because of the same concerns is just getting luncheon meat that comes in a tub that's GF. I use Hillshire Farms Deli Selects. (It's my understanding that everything except for their beer bratwurst is GF.) There's also no mention of anything with wheat being processed in their facilities and I've never had an issue. Not as much fun as buying a pound of deli meat here and there, but it works for me. I will be interested to hear the response you finally get. Thanks for sharing this, Pete. ANY cross contamination or glutening of any kind is no fun.<BR/><BR/>Shirleygfe--gluten free easilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-38976821424272711932009-02-05T14:35:00.000-07:002009-02-05T14:35:00.000-07:00I'll have to give Safeway another shot, Steve!

We used to shop there when we lived elsewhere in town, but now King Soopers is just a mile from our house, and we've shopped there lots. <BR/><BR/>I think the worst thing I've seen there was when they had an entire shelf of whole wheat pasta labeled as gluten-free. I informed the guy behind the customer service counter, and he literally ran across the store to pull down the GF labeling. =)<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Petepeterbronskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048848527195520324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-63006165977537198172009-02-05T14:30:00.000-07:002009-02-05T14:30:00.000-07:00King Sooper's horrible when it comes to gluten fre...King Sooper's horrible when it comes to gluten free items and confirming if their items are safe. That's why I fully support Safeway, who has a huge list of their private label items that are gluten free.Gluten Free Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156753980979762441noreply@blogger.com
