Gluten Free Snack Bars

We ran 906 snack bars through our gluten free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 307 don't make it.

Oats are the pivot of this aisle. Standard oat bars carry cross-contact gluten unless the oats are certified, and crisped wheat or barley malt binds many cereal bars. Nut and fruit bars with no cereal content are the clean end.
