Would you consider your bar gluten and soy free?

I'll have to double check the gluten, but soy yes. Though some ingredients have been produced in facilities that also produce soy based products so SOME cross contamination COULD be present in very small amounts.

I also do know that even if there's no gluten directly, the same holds true for some of the other ingredients with facilities that also produce gluten containing foods.

I could potentially make sure to buy ingredients from sources that are absolutely assured to be free of cross contamination if that's important. Though if any ingredient actually contains gluten replacing it could prove problematic.

Even just assuring its free of any potential for contamination would raise the costs of ingredients significantly.

Anyways. I'll look into the gluten. To be sure.

EDIT: And that was fast. No. It definitely does have gluten. A gluten free option would require completely different formulation. Not even sure what I could use.

EDIT 2: After some additional searching I discovered that my Bob's hazelnut meal is ALREADY certified gluten free, and that there is a certified gluten free option at Bob's for all my other ingredients potentially contaminated with gluten. So it is doable. It would raise costs. Same with switching to things to avoid soy contamination. Though I'm not even sure I can get a PURE whey isolate with no additives and no chance of contamination. NOW is the only provider of pure whey isolate I know and they aren't very big on preventing cross contamination, unfortunately. That's the only problem I'd have with them if I had such needs. Thankfully *I* don't. But if I'm going to be making this for others...
