Wheat starch is one of those "strange" ingredients that is allowed by
some celiac/coeliac associations, but not by others. It is not allowed by
the Canadian and U.S. Celiac associations, because they feel that there
can be trace amounts of gluten present. A Canadian company called
"Celimix" in Winnipeg sells products with wheat starch but they describe
it as "99% gluten free", if I remember correctly. I personally question
whether wheat starch can be listed as "gluten free wheat starch". It's
too bad the company you mention uses it, because there are better
alternatives.......
