I don't have any vested interest in whether people eat Sami's Bakery products or not, but it seems a bit unfair to post a comment like that without a link so we know where it came from. I could find no mention on Google of a lawsuit against Sami's Bakery. I found several discussions of whether it was truly gluten free or not, with some people apparently having no problem with it.

This link notes that they don't claim to have a gluten free facility. I know somone who is gluten free who was instrumental in bringing this bread to the health food store where I bought it, so apparently it was fine for her too.

But then I didn't post it as an example of something gluten free. I leave it to those folks to figure out what they can eat or not.

As far as carb count, the millet and flax chips don't seem "off" to me. A third cup of millet flour has 26 gram carbs, brown rice slightly more, but one 3 inch triangle cracker is going to have much less flour than that and will include some flax too. So 11 total grams seems reasonable to me.

The low carb bread also appears to me to be accurate, as the primary flours are almond and soy. The whole grain wheat bread I used to eat only contained 12 grams of carbs versus Sami's bread, which is smaller in size, at 10 grams.
