Dear listmates:  I recently wrote to Tyson regarding the Tyson Boneless,
Skinless Chicken breasts in the 6.5 lb. bag, at Costco which also has the
Kirkland Signature name on it. Mainly I was concerned about the chicken
broth, and the "flavoring" that is on the label. This is their reply:


Ms. Crawford, our Fresh and IFF (Individually Fresh Frozen) do not contain
gluten. There is no gluten added to the chicken. The marinade consists of
chicken broth, sodium phosphates, salt, and flavorings. The flavorings
contain powdered cooked chicken. A lot of people assume that "flavorings"
contain gluten; however, the USDA labeling regulations restrict the
ingredients that may be grouped as flavorings or natural flavors. Here is a
link to the USDA website that has great information regarding what can be
included: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OA/FAQ/flavorings.htm.

Hope this is helpful.
J. Crawford
