Gluten-Free Oatmeal?
Many celiacs and others who avoid gluten have had reactions to oatmeal, because it is processed in the same plants used to mill wheat. You can find gluten-free oatmeal from a plant that has a dedicated mill, with oats grown in dedicated fields — one that only produces oats, like Bob's Red Mill and Cream Hill Estates. McCann's uses dedicated mills, but doesn't have a guaranteed supply chain from the farms.
