Are these oats gluten free (free from wheat or gluten-containing grains)?

Oats do not have gluten (except inasmuch as they have been processed in a facility that also processes wheat and have trace amounts), but they do contain avenin, which will cause problems for people with full-on coeliac disease.

Oats are always gluten free. However, with those people with serious cases of celiac disease, Oats are sometimes stored in the same storage bins as wheat (after the wheat has been removed). The wheat dust will be picked up by the oats in the storage bins. Most people will not detect this. I have no solution for you on this.

It is hard to say with oats, as they may have been processed in a plant that also handles wheat products. I have been eating the oat groats for several weeks now and have not noticed any ill effects, but then you might have a different reaction. I decided to take a chance and was satisfied, but then I may not be a good lab rat because I have not been officially diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I just decided to eliminate gluten from my diet years ago to help control headaches.

The Honeyville web site says it is processed in the same plant as wheat products and might contain traces of wheat. You could contact them directly to find out if they offer a gluten free product at Honeyville.com.

No, this product is NOT gluten free. I'm looking at the ingredients on the box, and the first one in the list is wheat flour. It also contains a grain blend of oats, flax, rye, barley, corn, triticale, millet, rice bran and sunflower.

I just checked a package. The #1 ingredient is enriched wheat flour and the package doesn't say gluten free. So, I seriously doubt they are gluten free. Sorry!

I went on the company website. They say they don't label their product as gluten free any more. Those that are not will list any wheat products on the label.

The ingredients list no MSG, As for gluten there are no grains listed so I would assume no gluten

As far as I know it is. I to eat gluten free. I didn't see anything about it having any wheat in it at all.

The problem with oats is that they are constantly rotated with glutenous crops such as wheat, barely, rye etc. So cross contamination by being grown in the same field is an issue. To be sure it's gluten free the crops have to be grown in dedicated oat only fields with no glutenous crops being grown around it or rotated in the fields. Yes, Bob does still make GF oats, I picked some up today at the store. If in doubt make sure it says GF for your healths sake.

So from my understanding the type of gluten that causes reactions in those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity occurs in the grains - i.e., the seeds - produced by the grass plants wheat, barley and rye. Pure wheat grass and barley grass (just the grass, with absolutely no seeds) do not contain gluten. But you might want to double check this.

I would not think so if there are whole grains in them... Grains are gluten, yes?

The oats in this product are grown in fields dedicated to only oats, without cross contamination with wheat or other grains, and tested for purity. The package states they are free of preservatives and chemicals. No mention of organic on the label, however. Also note that there is no legal definition of organic foods. They are as pure as needed for celiacs. Enjoy.

Gluten (from Latin gluten, "glue") is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. So yes, this is gluten free since it has no wheat in it.

It's wheat dextrin, and the label says gluten free. I am very sensitive to gluten (in wheat, oats, barley, malt...) and this poses no issue for me. Works great!!

Gluten free does not mean wheat free. It can say gluten free if the gluten is below 20ppm. Any food product claiming to be gluten-free and also bearing the term "wheat" in its ingredient list or in a separate "Contains wheat" statement, must also include the language "*the wheat has been processed to allow this food to meet the FDA requirements for gluten-free foods," in close proximity to the ingredient statement.* Wiki

It says it's gluten free. Gluten is found in grains. You could email the company to ask about its manufacture process.
