kirkland Matcha Green Tea – is gluten free

the problem with some tea bags is that they use a gluten based glue to seal their tea bags, some also add barley malt or other other gluten in processing (celestial teas have some varieties that contain gluten).    I love green tea and Matcha green tea from Costco is just absolutely yummy so I contacted the manufacturers who assured me their items were gluten free.  Here is their response.  Now can it be on shared lines?  yes but honestly I have not had a problem with them.  If you do please discontinue usage, everyone’s sensitivity to a product or cross contamination is different.  There are some brands of gluten free products I cannot use because of shared lines.

Dear Theresa

Yes, Kirkland brand green tea bags are gluten free.
