Thanks for taking the time to break this down. While I’m not celiac I know that any possible contact can be dangerous for those that are, but flour definitely seems like the lesser of two evils (Roundup) since it’s easily removed with water.

Thank you! Yes, it seems like the risk is pretty minimal given that flour can easily be washed away with water.

Oh gosh transparency is key here- with any of the major allergens.

Yes! Even though the risk seems to be minimal, the farm should've disclosed this right away so people could decide for themselves.

Wow!

I agree, disclosure is important esp for people where their health would be significantly impacted.

Thanks for reading! I agree, even if the risk is relatively row, companies should disclose any time they use a major allergen so people can be informed.
