In case anyone is interested, today I had occasion to call both Comstock and
Kroger's about the GF status of their pie fillings. I already knew that the
Comstock REGULAR fillings are GF even though the manufacturer does not
identify the thickener as cornstarch (which it is). But I had not known
that the Kroger's is also made with cornstarch. Today when I went to buy a
couple of cans to try out some new recipes for crunch/cobbler-types of
desserts, I found that the Kroger's is cheaper (hence my desire to check it
out); moreover, both products are now out in a "LITE" version. I was not
prepared to assume the light version would necessarily also be GF. Hence
my phone calls.
In each case I was told by a Customer Service representative, who went
off to consult a list, that the LITE version simply contains more fruit
and less sugar (not artificial sweetener) and the same cornstarch
thickener. Good news.
Someone on the Listserv asked the other day whether a regular GF pancake mix
could be substituted for Bisquick. I cannot give a general reply, but the
substitution works fine in the popular recipe for sausage and cheese balls,
which are, I believe intended for occasions as cocktail parties.
