Boar’s Head Brand Products

From a letter dated 3-1-04:
RE: Gluten Intolerance-Celiac Sprue
To Whom It May Concern:
There are no cereals, fillers, artificial colors or flavors used in manufacturing any of our Boars Head Brand meats. In addition, there are no vegetable gums, malts, wheat, rye, oats or barley used. For this reason, almost all of our products should be compatible with a gluten-free diet.
However, there are a few Boar's Head Brand products that do contain gluten or that we have no guarantee are completely gluten free. For this reason please avoid the following items for a gluten free diet:
(Boar's Head Brand)    Olive Loaf
                  Dutch Loaf
                  Pickle and Pepper Loaf
                  Hickory Smoked Pasteurized Process Gruyere Cheese
                  Double Gloucester Cheese
                  All Parmigiano and Romano Cheeses
                  Grana Padano Cheese
                  New York Style Cheese Cake

Mrs. Martin's New York Style Cheese Cake
La Rosa D'Oro Stuffed Cherry Peppers
Boar's head Pre-cooked Breakfast Sausage Patties (food service)
B H Pre-cooked bacon (food service)
B H Bulk Pre Sliced Pepperoni (food service)

All other Boar's Head Brand meats, cheeses and condiments are gluten free.
Of course we encourage you to always read the labels, and check for any specific ingredients your doctor may want you to avoid. If you have any further questions about these specific ingredients, please contact us at our Nutritional Information Line by calling 800-352-6277
