Infuriating labelling !

Has anyone else noticed that pulses and lentils ( dried , not canned ones ) are being labelled as "may contain gluten ".

I used to frequently use supermarket own brand lentils and pulses rather than canned ones to make curries, dahls and lentil soup. I have noticed that all Sainsbury's and Morrisons lentils now contain this warning . I asked in both stores what was going on as the ingredients themselves ar e naturally GF and I was told it's because the factory where they are packed "probably" handles gluten containing ingredients.

Has anyone used these ingredients successfully without a problem ?

My son is coeliac and I have hypothyroidism and I seem to benefit from a gf diet.

I wondered if washing the lentils and pulses prior to use would be sufficient to rinse away any traces of gluten.

The canned varieties of lentils and pulses seem to be unaffected , of course they work out far more expensive !
