Lindt
Gluten-free information on 5/5/2010: Lindt does not provide a gluten-free list of their products. The statement below was on the FAQ page of their website:

Question: Is there gluten or barley malt in Lindt chocolate?

Answer: Unfortunately, at this time we cannot guarantee that Lindt chocolate is gluten free. Our white and extra dark (70% cocoa and above) chocolate products by nature do not contain barley malt. However, because they run on the same production lines as other products there is a chance of cross contamination. Lindt is aware of the growing prevalence of Celiac's Disease and other conditions. We are sensitive to the fact that these large groups of consumers are unable to enjoy our chocolate at this time. We hope in the future to be able to accommodate the needs of all our consumers and offer options to satisfy varying dietary requirements.
