Hi Sarah - Our Rye Flour has always been processed in a facility that also processes barley and wheat products. Nothing about the product or packaging process has changed. If you have more questions about our allergens or cleaning process, our Customer Service team is happy to help. They can be reached at 1-800-349-2173 or customerservice@bobsredmill.com
WAIT! Does this mean that you are also processing Rye and Barley in the "Dedicated" Gluten Free Facility??!!!?? I recently learned that your Oats are not Purity Protocol and are instead, mechanically separated. This upset and saddened me greatly...People Trusted Bob's Red Mill...and now you've lost that trust.
You need to correct this post IMMEDIATELY! Barley and Rye are two of the main GLUTEN CONTAINING grains! In several spots in this blog, you have them listed as Gluten Free. There is more than enough misinformation out there for folks newly diagnosed with Celiac or other gluten issues to make life confusing and difficult. Please properly research and review posts which can literally impact people's lives, before going live.
Thank you, Netti. We have updated the post. While you are correct that barley and rye contain gluten, they are not wheat. This article is about a wheat-free diet, not a gluten free diet. Someone with a wheat allergy will likely be able to eat rye and barley.
I started buying Bob's Red Mill rye flour and love it! However, I noticed that the newer packaging contains the warning "May contain wheat". I have a wheat allergy and have not had a problem with the rye flour to this point. Has the facility and/or equipment where the rye flour is made changed in any way? What about with the barley flour? Thanks.
