Title: French Meadow Gluten Free and Rich's ??
Post by: hezzier on August 02, 2014, 07:53:06 PM
Ok, so the brand I wanted today wasn't available so I bought two cookies for DH and I to try from French Meadow.  While in the store, I tried to google, but most stores around here are dead zones.  Got home, googled and kept getting put to Rich's...so I jump down the rabbit hole and wind up at this article

Anyone have any info?  I will call about their gluten free products on Monday if I remember.

Hezz, I replied about Rich's but decided to split that into own, dedicated thread.

Here is thread with some info as to Rich's:

I had forgotten about this so I sent an email this morning asking about French Meadow Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies...if they were produced on the same lines at peanuts and tree nuts or in the same facility.  Here's the response...



Thank you for contacting Rich Products Corporation.  We appreciate our customers taking time out of their busy schedules to allow us to respond to their questions and concerns.

Our chocolate chip cookies that are gluten free are not run on shared equipment with tree-nuts or peanuts.


Very truly yours,

So based on the response, I'd have to guess that there are quite possibly peanuts/tree nuts in the facility so depending on one's comfort zone, these may be an option for some.

The grocery store that I go to has a freezer by the bakery for specialty items...it holds these as well as products by Udi's.
