Sure, though it still feels a little sneaky, clearly the majority of a cookie that contains eggs and butter is still wheat... It reminds me a little more of packaging that proclaims that a box of table salt is "fat-free!" or a box of sugar is "gluten-free!" - well, yes, I'd hope so, since you'd have to go out of your way to add those in...

- blacksmith_tb 4y agoWell, those two aren't quite the same, otherwise they'd be adding them to EVERYTHING they make. I was reacting to the duplicity of claiming something was free of an ingredient that would never be present, where choosing to add an allergen because it's cheaper than paying to prove it isn't present is a perverse outcome of well-intentioned regulations + cut-throat corporations.
