Susan Elizabeth ...I got response April 12, 2011.<br /><br /><br /><br />Susan Elizabeth Spann <br />Sent from my iPhone<br /><br />Begin forwarded message:<br /><br />From: <br />Date: April 12, 2011 1:13:12 AM CDT<br />To: 'Susan Elizabeth Spann' <br />Subject: RE: Popchips has misleading labeling<br />Reply-To: <br /><br />hi there susan. first of all, we’re really sorry for creating any confusion! we know how important the gluten issue is and for the past year started to run popchips under a gluten free process. we wanted to run that way for a lengthy period of time to ensure popchips tested gluten free (and could therefore be certified as such) before we made a “gluten free” claim on our packaging. the good news is that for the last year we have not tested positive to gluten so we are now in the process of converting our packaging to clearly state that popchips are “gluten free” -- and the disclaimer of “made on equipment” will be removed.<br /><br /> <br /><br />while we were going through this process, we felt it was important to let consumers know that while we do not use any gluten ingredients, popchips were being “made on shared equipment” to try to be overly careful with people who are extremely gluten intolerant. we’re pleased that we are now able to state that popchips are gluten free and estimate this packaging change will take place sometime this summer. <br /><br /> <br /><br />again, we’re truly sorry about any confusion and certainly didn’t intend to be misleading, but are now excited about our upcoming change to clearly identify popchips as Gluten Free! if you’d like to email us your address, we’d be happy to send a couple coupons your way so that you can enjoy a few bags of popchips on us!<br /><br />best,<br /><br />keithses1978https://www.blogger.com/profile/08597052057677036003noreply@blogger.com
