Haven't had a chance to taste this yet, but the Providence Journal posted a press release in its "Food" section:
"JENS & MARIE, a food product development company, is "relaunching" its line of all natural gourmet veggie burgers which are now vegan and gluten free and will be sold in patties as well as the bulk burger mixes to the food service industry." (The company is based out of Providence, RI.)
One of our local health food stores expressed concern about this product, saying that the label listed unbleached wheat flour. I went right to the source, and emailed Jens to clarify. Here is their answer:
Thank You taking an interest in our Veggie Burger. I am forwarding our new ingredient panel for you to look at.
I contacted the factory that makes the MALTODEXTRIN, they confirmed Corn
starch as the ingredient used in the process. It is processed on
machinery that processes Wheat product, but they assured me that they are
cleaning and sterilizing the equipment according to strict guidelines
set by the Company, before processing Gluten free Maltodextrin.
Best Regards,
Jens

So, according to this, YES, it's safe!
