Re:  True Nutrition Dextrose

I placed a call to your company yesterday, and the representative suggested I send you an email regarding True Nutrition Dextrose.

I recently conducted an oral challenge of "organic tapioca dextrose" from a complimentary sample provided by a wholesaler, and suffered a severe allergic reaction.  It turned out that corn sugar (dextrose) was ADDED TO this product in the form of "dextrose equivalent (DE)" which is what caused my allergic response.  As a result of this oral challenge, we now realize there is no such thing as "tapioca dextrose."  Based on my allergic reaction, the wholesaler is reconsidering the labeling of this product which is actually "organic tapioca powder with dextrose (corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch)."

I would appreciate your confirmation that your "100% Dextrose" is, in fact, derived from "brown rice."

Thank you very much, and I look forward to conducting an oral challenge of this product on behalf of the corn allergy community.
