*What is Gluten Free and Gluten-Free Recipes?
All vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, beans,
nuts, rice, potatoes, and corn are gluten free in their natural
state. Also milk and most hard cheeses and creams are
naturally gluten free. Recipes using any of these items would be
naturally gluten free.
The recipes designated Gluten free do not include the
following ingredients: wheat, rye, barley, or oats; or ingredients
that might contain these, but Bigelow Tea does not assume liability
for information reported on our recipes.
However, anyone who needs or wants to follow a gluten free
(GF) diet should check ingredients and products to ensure they are
GF. (For example, sesame seeds are naturally GF, but it's always
wise to check with the manufacturer to make sure that gluten was
not introduced to the product during processing.)
Bigelow Tea makes no guarantees that the recipes are
appropriate for your diet. Individuals should consult with their
physician or other medical professional.
