Greetings, Listies!

I have to respond to the lukewarm GF label given to Betty by the Land O
Lakes representative.  The rep asserted that the butter should still be GF.
I sincerely doubt it.

Although I know their products are no longer *guaranteed* GF, I have
continued to eat Land O Lakes butter without any problem as I  have for
years.  Lately I have had some digestive upsets that I wrongly attributed
to stress.  I ended up with the worst gluten reaction I've had in over a
year.  Having not eaten out in awhile or made any dietary changes, the
culprit had to be an ingredient change in a product I use routinely.  I
suspected the butter when I reacted to a fresh chicken breast sauteed in
butter with fresh garlic.  I stopped eating the butter, and I am fine,
without any other dietary changes.  The label says that annato color is
added seasonally, and I suspect that is the problem ingredient.

On the positive side, I was shopping in a Meijer Store (a huge chain in
Michigan and northern Ohio) and came across Kozy Snack pudding in the dairy
case.  It is actually labeled gluten free!  Since I feel most deprived when
grocery shopping, this made my day.  Maybe more companies that sell to
regular grocery stores will see that this type of labeling is to their
advantage!
