I'll ask the usual question: What reference can you cite to back up this statement? PAM is produced by American Home Food Products, Inc. A letter from the company dated July 3, 1995, and signed by Genevieve Ferrara states that PAM Cooking Spray does not contain any gluten. To further back this up, I'll list the ingredients taken straight off of a pump-type bottle of PAM: canola oil, grain alcohol from corn, and lecithin from soybeans. Some celiacs have sensitivities to canola oil, corn, or soy. For these individuals, PAM might cause some sort of bad reaction. However, this is NOT a gluten reaction. Celiacs that don't have these additional sensitivities should be able to use PAM. Contact info: American Home Food Products, Inc.

Please list the source of whatever information you post. If your statement is based solely on your reaction after using a product, then be sure to say so. Newly- diagnosed celiacs find conflicting information such as this to be particularly troublesome, at a time when they are already feeling overwhelmed. -- -- Jim Lyles -- [log in to unmask] -- Holly, Michigan, USA --
