At the suggestion of someone on the list, I emailed Applegate Farms in NJ.  I
got this wonderful response back.  For my family, it is not only the gluten,
but the predominence of soybean in foods lately, that cause so many problems.
I was so excited to get this message.  Also the fact that their products are
range-fed and antibotic and preservative free makes it a very desirable
product, in my opinion. There is so much negative evidence about
preservatives, especially nitrates and sulfites.  I don't want my
grandchildren eating them (those with and without CD and the food
intolerances.)  This looks like a great option.   I hope that I can find it in
the store since I have not received a message yet about availability.  Carol
