I contacted Vlasic Foods about Vlasic pickles at http://www.vlasic.com
and got this letter in the mail yesterday:
Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Vlasic Foods
International and the products we produce that might be gluten-free. We
appreciate your interest in our company and our products.
At the present time, only Vlasic Pickles and Vlasic Farms fresh
mushrooms are gluten-free. The vinegar used in production of the
pickles is corn-based, rather than wheat-based. Other items in our
product line (which includes Swanson frozen foods and Open Pit barbecue
sauces) generally contain wheat-based ingredients in the form of
modified food starches and other thickening agents.
While our manufacturing facilities follow generally accepted good
manufacturing practices, we do not have the flexibility of segregating
production lines for the exclusive production of wheat-free items. We
recommend that you review the list of ingredients on the package prior
to purchase to assure that you are meeting your specific dietary needs.
Since we are constantly improving our products, ingredients may change
from time to time. Enclosed is a list of the pickle products [below].
We appreciate the time you've taken to share your specific concerns with
us because it helps us to become aware of consumer needs. We hope you
find this information helpful.
Sincerely,
Megan Strauss
Consumer Response Representative
