Sami's products, Tampa FL

 

I have been asked to post this to the list by the President of the

Tri-County Celiac Support Group of Michigan. The group has attempted

to work with Sami's to inform them about the high levels of

contamination in some of their products.

 

The following is a direct quote from the President of TCCSG & the

testing report that they received:

 

" We sent 2 samples of Sami's products - the millet & flax hamburger

bun and the plain millet bread to University of Nebraska, Lincoln to

be tested for gluten. Here is what they sd. The gluten testing of

the bun and bread samples that we received on Tues, Feb 13th, 2007 has

been completed. The results are listed below

Sample Millet & flax hamb bun >5000 ppm

Plain millet bread >5000 ppm

The lower limit of detection for the R-Biophar Ridascreen Fast Gliadin

is 10 parts per million (ppm) gluten. Amounts below this level cannot

be reliably detected in this assay. One ppm is equal to one milligram

of gluten per kilogram of sample product.

 

There is another whole paragraph, which says the levels are prob even

higher. "

 

I consider this information that all celiacs should be aware of and

they should make it known to other celiacs and to support groups.

Thank you for posting the information about Sami's Products. I just bought and

tried their bread based on the health food store's recommendation. She was very

knowledgeable so I didn't examine the product real good. Today I was reading it

(after we've all eaten the bread and loved it!) and noticed the packaging says

may contain traces of gluten!
