Treasure Cave Blue Cheese - Be cautious and read the ingredients

[Guest guest]

Based on a favorable response from Saputo, the makers of Treasure Cave

Blue Cheese, my wife went out to purchase some today. Based on a

reading of the ingredients, she sent the following message to Treasure

Cave:

Dear Sallie

Just to let you know that our local Safeway carries the Treasure Cave

brand of both blue cheese and gorgonzola. Both packages list the

ingredients. Under " cheese enzyme " it lists wheat as one of the

ingredients. As you know, this is gluten personified. Either your

ingredient suppliers are in error or they have changed the formulation

without telling you. If any other questions come in on this topic,

please continue to caution the purchaser to read all labels first.

Mr. Victor Dolcourt,

Thank you for contacting Saputo Cheese USA, Inc.!

None of the ingredients used in the products that Saputo Cheese

USA produces contain gluten, we have been given documentation form our

Ingredient Suppliers that their ingredients do not contain wheat. The

manufacturing and packaging facilities are dedicated to Milk and Milk

products.

Please note that ingredients or changes in formulations may affect

the above information and are subject to change without notice.

If you have any questions please contact us again.

I'll post the reply from Saputo when it comes in. Again, this is a

lesson in " Read the Ingredient List. "
