So, this is Stoneyfield Farm's response to the gluten question:
Does your plain, organic yogurt contain gluten? Two Stonyfield products, Yo Baby Plus Cereal Yogurt and Cookies and Dream Premium Ice Cream, do contain gluten. All other Stonyfield yogurt products, frozen yogurt, and ice cream do not contain any gluten source ingredients. We do not add gluten to our products; however, some of the natural flavors used to make our products may have used a grain alcohol in the extraction process.
We are still in the process of learning more about Celiac disease and have been told that some individuals are sensitive to even miniscule amounts of gluten. We have difficulty answering questions because we are concerned about giving out information to individuals who have unique and sensitive health issues without the person going through their doctor, especially since the outcome could be very serious.

I hate answers like that. It's a cop out CYA move. The doctor isn't going to be able to tell me if there is gluten in THEIR product.
They have this answer on another one of their pages:
Does your yogurt contain gluten? Our nonfat, lowfat and whole milk plain yogurts do not contain any gluten source ingredients. We do not add gluten to our products; however, some of the natural flavors used to make our products may contain gluten-derived stabilizers.

OH goodness. I don't blame you for being frustrated with that. It really doesn't answer the question.
Interestingly, two years ago I got a tour of their facility when I was helping out with the refugee summer camp here in NH(a whole different blog-but you know what I am referencing here). It was interesting and we got a ton of free samples.
