Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce Mild 10oz: Low Fat, Gluten-Free, Vegan

A: We offer several products that are labeled ‘Gluten Free’. Please check the package label for the gluten-free statement on the front/side/back of the package. Only products that can be verified to be gluten free will be declared as gluten free on the label. We label our gluten-free products with ‘GLUTEN FREE’ below or near the ingredient listing. As always, our product formulas and ingredients may change, therefore the ingredient label on the package is always the best and most accurate information about our products. Please check the product ingredient list each time you purchase our products. **It is also important to check the product label each time you purchase a product because it has the most accurate information about the product in the package. Products NOT labeled Gluten Free For products not labeled gluten free, we will always declare gluten containing ingredients if they are added to the product. If the ingredient declaration lists wheat, barley, rye, or derivatives of these grains, then the product contains gluten. Examples of derivative ingredients include: malt, barley malt, semolina, Durham, triticale, and spelt. We do not include gluten in other ingredients; for example it would not be part of ‘Natural Flavors’, or ‘Spices.’ If there are gluten ingredients in our products, those ingredients are always clearly listed. If there are no gluten-containing ingredients listed in the product ingredient label, but the product does not make a gluten free claim, it is because we cannot fully assure that this product is gluten free. While we have not added gluten-containing ingredients, factors such as sourcing, conditions of manufacture, etc. do not allow us to provide the full level of assurance that a gluten free claim requires.

A: General Mills top priority is food safety and has been for over 150 years. Most crops grown in fields use some form of pesticides and trace amounts are found in the majority of food we all eat. Experts at the FDA and EPA determine the safe levels for food products. These are very strict rules that we follow as do farmers who grow crops. We continue to work closely with farmers, our suppliers and conservation organizations to minimize the use of pesticides on the ingredients we use in our foods. If you are looking for an organic alternative, we recommend our Organic product Annie’s, Cascadian Farm, Liberté, Lärabar, and Muir Glen. Glyphosate is not approved for use in organic food production, as the standards of the National Organic program do not allow for the use of synthetic pesticides

A: Hi Megan. General Mills uses can coatings that fully comply with all applicable global requirements for safe use in food contact materials. But we know that some consumers would like us to pursue alternatives – and we are working intensively with our can suppliers and manufacturers to develop and test linings that do not use BPA.
