The following link shows a blog post that discusses a company who is, in essence, going to be tricking us into thinking they are producing GF pretzels. Here is the link. Read the whole thing to understand what is going on.

edited in…—WELL…they seem to have received a lot of response and the CEO says this:
Based upon the responses received from members of the gluten free community to
my letter of March 30, 2010, I understand that there are some additional
questions and/or concerns that my previous letter did not address. Hopefully,
this letter will shed more light on the situation.
Snyder’s of has been working with the Gluten Free Certification Organization
(GFCO), a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), since September 2009.
As of today, we are happy to announce that our Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks will
be GFCO certified. Due to the nature of the discussions with GFCO, we were
required to maintain confidentiality until the contract was finalized today. In
my previous response, I was unable to further elaborate on and fully address
your concerns until this process was complete.
Our baking facility was originally inspected and approved for gluten sanitation
on July 16, 2009. Guidelines of the GF certification subject our Gluten Free
Pretzel Sticks to ongoing gluten testing using GFCO-approved testing methods to
meet the minimum GFCO standard of less than 10 ppm gluten in finished product.
We also will undergo random manufacturing inspections to uphold the integrity of
our gluten free certification. This testing protocol was developed by GFCO and
Snyder’s will fully comply with this industry leading standard in all aspects of
production.
Our gluten-free pretzels have been in development for over a year and have
undergone rigorous testing and modifications to ensure it met GFCO requirements
and consumer taste standards before it was presented at EXPO West. We would
never market a product that would intentionally or unintentionally harm our
consumers, gluten intolerant or not.
I apologize for what has been perceived as the cavalier comments of one of our
associates. I assure you it is not the opinion or philosophy of the company or
of the individual, as it was presented to you. Snyder’s of operates with the
highest ethics; superior quality and safety dictate all that we do. We are
committed to understanding and meeting the needs of you and all of our
consumers.
Sincerely,
Carl Lee
President and CEO

Happy Birthday to my Happy Meal went viral. As of Saturday AM this blog had more than 5,000 hits! People who read the blog either think I am a saint or Satan, depending on their point of view about fast foods. Going viral began with a March 11 link on Barrie Silberberg’s site: Putting Your Kids First and her Face Book page. It took off from there…a BIG nonna hug to Barrie!
Hugging you back Joann!!!!
