Of course they do. What I'm saying is common sense. Given celiac disease which is dangerous you would think that food and beverage producers would know better than to cross contaminate machinery. This isn't about oats or flour. Can you tell me why there would be a chance that gluten got into apple cider? I worked in a restaurant. Different equipment for gluten vs gluten free.

People don't usually trust "common sense" when it comes to labels and their health or lifestyle. A pack of spaghetti that's just made of durum semolina is still gonna be labeled Vegan, just in case. That's how it is, for peace of mind.

EDIT: And part of it is because large corporations or shared facilities often share equipment to make wildly different things. It is indeed possible that apples run across a gluten-dusted conveyor belt, somewhere.
