Why is it relevant that these wipes are gluten-free? Are they edible?

Because people who have severe gluten intolerance like celiac disease cannot have gluten on their skin or products as they may react to even those small amounts.

TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- People with celiac disease may unknowingly be exposed to gluten in lip, facial or body products, a new study suggests. Gluten -- a protein found in wheat, rye and barley -- damages the intestines of people with celiac disease. George Washington University researchers looked at products from the top 10 cosmetic companies in the United States and found a lack of information about ingredients in the products. Only two of the companies offered detailed ingredient information, and none of the companies offered gluten-free products, the researchers found. The study findings were slated for release Monday at the annual scientific meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology in Washington, D.C. "The findings are alarming because gluten-containing cosmetics can be inadvertently obtained by the consumer and use of these products can result in an exacerbation of celiac disease," researcher Dr. Pia Prakash said in a college news release. "This study revealed that information about the ingredients, including the potential gluten content, in cosmetics is not readily available."

I cannot find anything on the Phillips Fiber website that makes that claim, however the list of ingredients look gluten free to me. YMMV

They all are certified gluten-free. I'm particularly sensitive, and they don't give me a gluten reaction.

I don't know if they are gluten free. I do know that they are Kosher. Sorry I even looked on their website and it does not say if they are or are not gluten free.

I am not sure what you mean about an expiration date. These aren't edible butt wipes! None the less, I searched the package for anything resembling any sort of "expiration date" and found none.

They are gluten free. This is stated affirmatively on the front of the package. They are also peanut tree-nut free.With regard to wheat at the processing plant, you would have to contact the manufacturer to be certain. However given the nature of the process, I would find that unlikely. Moreover, the fact that it's an organic product and that Newman's bothered to be very specific about other allergy-related concerns might imply that if other allergens were potentially present, they, too, would at least be mentioned.Hope that helps.

It is my understanding that they are. I have Celiac Disease and was fine with them. I was told that they shut down regular production when they make the gluten free ones and use cleaned machines. Like everyone else, I can't guarantee it, but I can say they work just fine for me.

These are not Gluten Free. One of the ingredients listed on the coconut flavored bar is 'Wheat Gluten'.

Well, I am not sure about gluten free...but you are aware that you apply this product, you do not ingest it :)

Some of them are, check the label; but being organic is not that much important! If you have Celiac, go for the GF ones, even if not organic, they are good!

They are not advertised as such but I checked the ingredients and cannot see where there would be gluten...I can tolerate gluten so I am not an expert on this. I would google the item for nutrition information to be sure.

I am going to say yes. They are low in carbs, gluten and grain-free, come from a root vegetable, and are made by a process of fermentation. Supposedly that is where the smell comes from, which disappears after rinsing as directed. They are not "yucky" and are a great substitute for noodles, particularly in Asian style dishes. I see no reason why they would not be Paleo-friendly.

The ones we purchased are gluten free and they are about the size of a quarter. I can not say for sure if the regular wafers are the same, but probably.

The ingredient list is essentially water and essential oils. I would imagine that it is gluten free despite not indicating it.

Yes, they are unsalted and unroasted but cant say about gluten free becoz nowhere is mentioned like that but yeah be careful as there is specially mentioned for allergens...they processed in facility like tree nuts,eggs etc....
