7/08

The following was sent to the SillyYaks site on 7/17. It consists of the correspondence with Mary Kay, and the poster, and includes a list of their products that DO contain gluten. Note that the list was actually developed in June 2007. Only the meaningful parts of the correspondence are posted here.

Poster: "I am a consultant, and have recently been put on a gluten-free and casein-free diet due to severe allergies. I would like to know which of your products contain gluten and/or casein, so I do not continue to use them."

Mary Kay: "We only use Wheat & Oats in some products and I am attaching a list of products containing them. Casein is found in milk and we do not use any milk ingredients."

Poster: " Do you know if there is any chance of cross contamination of other products with the wheat/oats used in the production of these products?

Mary Kay: "No there is no chance of cross contamination, each product is produced individually.
