Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 I don't tend to buy bulk flours for the same reason. The gluten and non gluten flours are usually right next to each other, and probably get filled at close to the same time, so it would seem easy for flour dust to settle and contaminate the non-gluten flour. Also sometimes people re-use the scoops (unless the bin has its own scoop), so that's another potential source of contamination. I have occassionally bought bulk rice, if it is separate from the flours, and nutritional yeast in bins (at whole foods it used to be in the supplement section of whole foods rather than with the other bulk items), but even that is probably not the safest thing to do.

In my Whole Foods etc gluten and GF flours are all together and > it sure looks ripe for contamination. Quote
