<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thank you for the many responses I received concerning Presidents Choice Ceraels. Several of you requested the detailed list of PC products that are GF, so I have sent that to those who requested. Most of the responses I received concerned the nature of maltodextrin. Some said that since the word has "malt" in it, maltodextrin contains malt. I have it on the authority of Dr. Kasarda of the US Department of Agriculture that **at least in the US,** maltodextrin in food is made from corn or potato and is therefore safe for celiacs. Note: this does not apply to vitamins or mineral supplements and meds. Hope helps. The reference is quoted below. ***Maltodextrin is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial hydrolysis of corn starch or potato starch with safe and suitable acids and enzymes. (1) Maltodextrin, when listed on food sold in the USA, must be (per FDA regulation) made from corn or potato. This rule does NOT apply to vitamin or mineral supplements and medications. (2) Donald Kasarda Ph.D., a research chemist specializing on grain proteins, of the United States Department of Agriculture, found that *all* maltodextrins in the USA are made from corn starch, using enzymes that are NOT derived from wheat, rye, barley, or oats. On that basis he believes that celiacs need not be too concerned about maltodextrins, though he cautions that there is no guarantee that a manufacturer won't change their process to use wheat starch or a gluten-based enzyme in the future. (3) - May 1997 Sprue-Nik News Other references can be found at TCCSSG and CSA/USA. I understand they each publish booklets outlining foods and additives to avoid. Although Betty Hagman says: "Maltodextrin is made from cornstarch. Dextrin can be made from many sources, including wheat, so should be avoided unless stated, for example, corn dextrin" I imagine that the may 1997 Sprue-Nik News is more updated, but it seems true that Hagman and Kasarda aren't in 100% agreement. A further question might be whether food companies abide by the FDA regulations.... The problem is that my question dealt with PC foods which are CANADIAN and not under FDA regs. Someone was nice enough to call Loblaw's and ask about the PC cereals. The President's Choice Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes and Rice Krispies have natural flavouring, no malt flavouring. They also carry a line of cereals called "Ancient Grains". The one with corn ("Golden Maize") is supposed to be GF. Someone else added a caution that there are two PC ceraels that can be mistaken for eachother... one is GF and one is not. She thinks the GF one has a gold Band and the non GF one has a green band. The cereal is sort of like corn flakes (kind of bland) but topped off with bananas, berries, or raisins, it is said to be quite tastey. I can't get it where I live, so I don't have 1st hand experience with it. I hope this helps. My son did try the Slightly Toasted Rice Frosted Flakes and on his way to school felt like he was going to throw up. (He didn't in the end). I don't know if it was a gluten problem or a psycho-somatic issue because he just started in a new school. Again, thanks for all the responses. Sharon Marcus
