Here is the final word in Wellshire’s apology:

“…However, as this new future proposal confirms, we cannot eliminate all gluten from a product, however if we continue to work hard enough at it we can bring the trace levels down.”

I know a way to eliminate gluten from a product: you don’t add any gluten! I just bought their Turkey Bacon Strips which has celery powder and onion powder. I know that both of these ingredients are suspect since powdered spices sometimes use flour as an anti-caking agent. Therefore, since I know that Wellshire farms doesn’t know how to eliminate gluten from a product and these ingredients typically have gluten, the turkey bacon strips went into the trash.

This company gets off the hook, after poisoning numerous celiacs with their mislabelled product with a shrug and a “sorry, we’ll try harder next time”. They should be out of business. Obviously regulation of all products that claim to be “gluten free” is necessary.

Why can Europe do this and America can’t? Because our laws favor the corporation over the individual every time. What’s good for Wellshire Farms is not good for the American people. But you won’t see that in the news any time soon.
