and possibly other places.  I didn't spend much time searching on line for

Is this something else for which we need to be watching? Should folks with
celiac disease hold their breath while opening packages with packing peanuts
to avoid the dust? Should we contact this company and tell them about celiac
disease?  I hope I'm blowing all of this out of proportion! I think some
biodegradable packing "peanuts" are also made from corn starch. I am an
environmental whacko, so I'm all for biodegradable or recyclable packaging,
but not if it might adversely affect my health or my 4-yr old son's health.
