Product: Sunsweet Pitted Prunes

The label of my Sunsweet Pitted Prunes indicated no gluten.

INGREDIENTS: Pitted California prunes (dried plums), potassium sorbate (as a preservative).

However, there was no statement about shared facilities or equipment. A short email to Sunsweet was quickly answered in detail.

Dear Ms. thestrictceliac:

Thank you for contacting us regarding the gluten content of Sunsweet products.

The ingredient list on all our products is complete and accurate. With one exception, Sunsweet products do not contain gluten, nor do we process any products in plants that contain gluten. The one exception is the Sunsweet Chocolate Plum Sweets which has an allergen statement on the packaging stating that the product contains milk and soy and is manufactured in a facility that processes dairy, peanuts, soy, tree nuts and wheat.

In regards to any potential allergic reaction to an ingredient, your physician would be the best person to consult. We cannot give medical advice.
