Below is the response I got from Giant (grocery store in MD, maybe
elsewhere?) about GF foods.
Julie
Thank you for taking the time to contact Giant.
We appreciate your interest in knowing about gluten in Super G products.
We can research any Super G items with which you may have a concern. We
do not have a complete list, the products in this letter are products
which have been recently checked. Please note that we anticipate
supplier changes in the next year, so check back with us if these items

Please note the following caveats from some of our suppliers: Our
pasteurized process cheese products supplier advises that you check the
label to be sure no wheat products are added. Our salad dressing
supplier said they could not 100% guarantee their vinegar sources, so if
you have been told by your doctor to avoid distilled vinegars with a
possible wheat base you should not use those items. The supplier for our
Super G green olives with pimento says the vinegar is distilled three
times, but can be from a wheat source.
In a distilled vinegar there is not likely to be any gluten, but some
physicians may still want you to avoid it.
Our maraschino cherry supplier also said they cannot guarantee that the
source for their flavorings won't change.
The following products have also recently been checked and contain
gluten or could be contaminated with gluten: bagged cheddar cheese
popcorn, barbecue sauce, bulk dried fruits, catsup, corn flakes and
crispy rice cereal, grated Parmesan cheese, grated fat free Parmesan and
grated Romano blend, creamed corn, fudge bars, chocolate ice cream cups,
Neopolitan ice cream brick, mayonnaise, spaghetti sauce and vanilla extract.
If there are any other products for which you need more information please
let us know.
Thanks, again, for contacting us. We appreciate hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Janet Tenney, M.S., R.D.
