The Gluten Free Status has recently changed for Alexia products.
According to an email* sent from Alexia:
We are pleased to tell you that our potato products are gluten free. However, due to an expansion in our production, we now employ a facility where products containing wheat are also produced. While our products are produced on dedicated lines, our packaging will carry the following advisory:
Produced in a facility that may manufacture other items containing wheat or tree nuts (pine nuts)
Understanding the concerns that many gluten sensitive consumers have with cross-contamination, great precautions are taken to effectively clean the equipment in between production runs in accordance with organic and kosher guidelines. We can not, however, guarantee that there will not be trace cross-contamination.
As products are produced in the new facility the Gluten Free statement on the package will be removed. If you find any packages that have the Gluten Free statement, they were produced at the time the facility was indeed gluten free.
If you are a celiac, I probably would not risk using this product.

The person I spoke to didn't give me a specific date for the changeover, but did say that any of the packages that were made in the gluten-free facility would have 'gluten free' on the package itself.
If 'gluten free' was nowhere on the package, then I was told that I should assume this indicated it was made at the shared facility and that it was no longer gluten-free.
That said - it took me two tries to get this answer. I looked at the FAQ first, but because of our sensitivity, I always call up to check on whether there is a gluten free line/facility for the product. The first person I spoke to assured me that their product was gluten free and 'must' be made in a gluten-free facility because otherwise they couldn't call it gluten free. That was what was required for something to be gluten free, by law. I asked if they were in the USA, and they were.
Which then made me concerned, considering that this is not at all what the law actually is in the US, ya know?
That's when I called a second time, and the second person I spoke to had the details of the change over, and knew that their company is the one that makes the rule that if they aren't using a gluten-free facility, they will not label their product gluten free. So, a little less clueless the second time.
I'm sure that if you call, though, they may have some information on when the change over is supposed to take place, or if any of the gluten-free ones actually CAN be made without the gluten-free label on it.
