This pissed me off! The woman was telling everyone “Our frozen dinners are completely gluten free!” So I asked her ‘Do you have a dedicated factory?’ her answer…”what do you mean?” so I clarified…”Do you make stuff with gluten in it on the same equipment as the gluten free items.” Her answer….”Welll um If I’m understanding you correctly….uh well of course we make other products with wheat in them in the building….sometimes on the same equipment…” Priceless.
