Does Allens manufacture gluten-free or lactose-free products?
No. Most of our products are agricultural commodities which grow in diverse geographical areas. Therefore, we are reluctant to publish a list of gluten or lactose-free products. We have limited control in agricultural operations and are never 100% certain of what crops may have been grown or harvested prior to production of our crops. Also, we use modfied food starch, produced by our suppliers, in many of our products. We require that our suppliers provide us with a certificate of analysis. However, we are not in their plants when these items are manufactured; as such, we could never feel 100% confident. Because of the critical nature of claiming gluten-free or lactose-free products, we would never provide information of this nature incorrectly.
