Amy's has provided the following statement regarding their Gluten Free products. "Several of our gluten free meals are now made in a gluten free dedicated plant. For our other gluten free products (we now offer more the 70), a wide range of activities and cross-checks are completed to ensure that cross-contamination and/or inadvertent use of the wrong ingredient does not occur. Examples include: Full shift manufacture of products with complete clean-up of all food contact surfaces between products. Pieces of equipment that come in contact with the food are cleaned and sanitized prior to the manufacture of the next product. Separate item numbers for all ingredients; these are checked by two individuals on receipt of the ingredient and three people on use of the ingredient to confirm the correct item is used. Use of colored tags, papers and containers in production as an addition visual check to ensure intermediate components are not interchanged. Designated areas for flour use to control airborne gluten and minimize its spread. Bar code readers at packaging lines to ensure correct package is used with each product. Spot screening of ingredients and finished products at University of Nebraska (FARRP - Food Allergy Research and Resource Program) to confirm there are no unlabeled allergens (utilize tests for gluten, soy, milk and peanuts). In October of 2006, we also opened our new in-house laboratory so that we could test not only the finished product, but also the raw materials that we use in our meals."
