"Made in a facility that also manufactures wheat products."
Do you ever wonder if that really matters? Doesn't the factory clean the equipment? Thanks to Gluten-Free Optimist, who always has great information on her blog, I found this video from Kinnikinnick Foods, which strikingly illustrates the importance of dedicated gluten-free equipment for food production. It's very dramatic -- take a look.
Yikes!!! That makes my stomach hurt just looking at it!
And it is even more than just the equipment. It also means requiring employees to change into uniforms at the worksite and providing GF foods for employees’ meals so no gluten comes into the facility. There is a reason why products from a dedicated gluten-free facility sometimes cost a little more. Thank you for this video.

Last, but certainly not least, I’m excited to tell you about our new gluten-free bun, available at all Eat’n Park locations. By substituting this delicious new bun, our guests with celiac disease can now enjoy many more of our menu items. You can read all about it on our blog. This is from the Eat n Park newsletter. I am just trying to get the word out.
