Hi, Tracy.
I heard that Padnah’s Pit BBQ is now serving Tracy’s Granola.
First, is this your granola?
If so, is it gluten free? (i.e. no wheat products, rye or barley … and are the oats from a dedicated, wheat-free source, such as Bob’s Red Mill?)
Many of us are gluten intolerant or have full-blown Celiac disease, and most granola uses oats that share process facilities with wheat flour manufacturing, so every grain of oats has a small amount of flour on it, making it dangerous.
If you’re the one making this granola people are raving about and you have not been processing it with gluten free ingredients, your market would increase HUGELY if you began doing so and labeled the packaging with “GLUTEN FREE”.
I appreciate your time and hope to hear from you …. I miss granola!
Sincerely,
Carolyn
