Food Sensitivities~Gluten-Free/Vinegar

Some people have an acute sensitivity to gluten, a
protein present in wheat and some other grains.
Because distilled white vinegar is made from grain based
alcohol, there are varying schools of
thought on whether gluten-sensitive individuals
should use products containing this ingredient.
Although the vinegar used by Watkins is, to the
best of our knowledge, gluten-free, it is our position
that this choice is up to the individual and
his/her health care provider. A separate list of
products containing vinegar is found after this
Gluten-Free list.

The products listed below do not contain distilled
white vinegar, and are, to the best of our knowledge,
free of gluten and/or gluten derivatives:

From what the list says the only extract that is gluten free is the Peanut Butter extract. I will call Watkins today to double check. I post what they say.
