Top Dogs
UPDATED:
This is the letter I received from Maple Leaf foods:
September 1, 2009
Case #564030
Dear Mrs. Tibbles,
Thank you for your email. We appreciate your taking the time to contact us.
While Top Dogs were never a certified gluten-free product, Maple Leaf wanted to ensure that those most affected by this change were notified. As a result, we contacted The Canadian Celiac Association to communicate this change to them as this product may be referenced by members as a suitable choice.
Once again, thank you for contacting us. We will ensure that your feedback is passed along to our product development team.
Sincerely,
Roberto Vasco
Consumer Response Representative
Unfortunately I have bad news – the Top Dogs Original weiners that we are used to buying (in Canada) are no longer Gluten Free!! I had to do a double take, and then triple-take to make sure I was reading correctly – but right in there is now “wheat gluten”!! I have emailed the Maple Leaf office in Ontario, but no response so far. I’ll update this post if/when I hear from them.
By the way, last week (3rd week in August, 2009) when I was shopping, there were still Top Dogs Original Single Serving weiners which had the old recipe – gluten free. I’m not sure if that was older stock on the grocery shelves, or if the single serving weiners are going to have a different recipe from the 8-package ones.
Summary:
Top Dogs are NOT gluten-free!!
Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
