<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I enjoyed Carando spiral sliced ham (without the glaze packet, as listmates recommended!) last night, and have had no ill effects. I will enjoy it again tonight, but thought that I would share their response to my question about the gluten status of their products: December 18, 2002 Dear Ms. Smith: Thank you for contacting us regarding your question on gluten in our Carando & Farmland brands. It is unfortunate that certain ingredients have an effect on certain people. Spice formulations from our suppliers and secondary suppliers, can change from time to time and still be correct under USDA labeling requirements. Because of this, along with the possibility of cross contamination from the secondary suppliers to our own main ingredients, we cannot absolutely guarantee that any of our products would be gluten free. We wish we had a different answer for you and others who have contacted us, but we just cannot guarantee that a product, at any given time would not contain the ingredients you are questioning. Farmland Foods does offer a new line of "All Natural" fresh pork items. The "All Natural" is stated on the label, along with no antibiotic residues, no added hormones, no artificial ingredients and minimally processed. While it does not have a gluten free guarantee on the label, perhaps you can better evaluate if this fits into any information that you may have. We appreciate your contact with our company. If you would have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Sandy Gronau Consumer Service Representative *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the Celiac List*
