1. Does the natural caramel color in your Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice have milk in it?
   The caramel color in the Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice cereal is not derived from dairy.
   
2. I noticed you have three Crispy Brown Rice cereals. What is the difference between Crispy Brown Rice – Gluten Free, Crispy Brown Rice- No Salt Added and Crispy Brown Rice Original?
   Crispy Brown Rice Original is the original brown rice crisped cereal. Since it is sweetened with barley malt, we wanted to create a gluten free version for our gluten free customers to enjoy.
   
   Crispy Brown Rice- Gluten Free cereal is sweetened with gluten free organic brown rice syrup instead of barley malt and is certified gluten free. (Although some brown rice syrup is made with a barley enzyme and is not gluten free, the brown rice syrup we use does not contain this barley enzyme and is gluten free.)
   
   Our Crispy Brown Rice- No Salt Added cereal is currently sweetened with barley malt, but in 2011, we will be switching the sweetener to organic brown rice syrup, making the cereal gluten free, so stay tuned!

   Stay on the look-out for a seventh gluten free cereal, Crispy Brown Rice- No Salt Added, to be transitioning later in 2011.
   
   All of our gluten free cereals are made in a facility that while it's not free of wheat, does practice good cross contamination prevention. Our gluten free cereals do share lines with gluten and wheat, so we have several steps in process to help prevent cross-contamination. Prior to running the gluten free products, the machinery is sanitized and thoroughly washed. After the gluten free cereal is made, it is tested to ensure it is less than 20 ppm of gluten. We sent our cereals to a separate facility to test how low the gluten levels were and found them to be under 5 ppm.
   
   Our Erewhon gluten free cereals were certified gluten free by GIG in late 2010.
