I even went so far as to read the label on both the blackening spice bottle and the box of the sweet potato fries. There is no mention of wheat or gluten on any ingredient list, nor is there a reference to either being manufactured in a facility that has wheat products in it. I'm not sure why someone would have said that. I am going to forward this email to our people at head office just to ensure we do our due diligence here. I will get back to you ASAP when I get a response."<br /><br />Laura, General Manager<br />White Spot Restaurants <br />710 Caledonia Ave<br />Victoria, BCEllen@theceliacscene.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161526147915636704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060312155426476929.post-47339783850598353562011-03-28T13:53:00.683-07:002011-03-28T13:53:00.683-07:00Thanks, Tiffany.

I will be in touch with the manager and post their response.Ellen@theceliacscene.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161526147915636704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060312155426476929.post-27673993820677278372011-02-08T19:10:55.888-08:002011-02-08T19:10:55.888-08:00After reading about the White Spots dedicated deep...After reading about the White Spots dedicated deep fryer on Caledonia, I went there (while I was in town last) specifically for the yam fries. But the chef's looked at the yam fries and saw "this product has been produced in a facility that also manufactures products with wheat .... etc" on it and came back to me with that news. I opted out of the fries but was very glad that they took the time to look into it for me and give me the option. Not all restaurants look that carefully!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041437305654618625noreply@blogger.com
