Now that Girl Scout cookie season is upon us I wanted to give a warning to read the ingredient list if you avoid eating oats.

I made my yearly donation to the Girl Scouts and bought a package of GF cookies from the table at the supermarket exit.

I’ve been buying and enjoying the Toffee-tastic cookies for years.

This time I was traveling in central Florida and the GF cookie for sale was Caramel Chocolate Chip.

The package is marked with the GFCO certification logo.

I was surprised to find Oat Flour as the first ingredient.

I know many of us avoid eating oats because of intolerance and others because of cross contamination concerns.
