I enjoyed Carando spiral sliced ham (without the glaze packet, as listmates
recommended!) last night, and have had no ill effects. I will enjoy it again
tonight, but thought that I would share their response to my question about
the gluten status of their products:

December 18, 2002

Dear Ms. Smith:

Thank you for contacting us regarding your question on gluten in our
Carando & Farmland brands. It is unfortunate that certain ingredients
have an effect on certain people.

Spice formulations from our suppliers and secondary suppliers, can
change from time to time and still be correct under USDA labeling
requirements. Because of this, along with the possibility of cross
contamination from the secondary suppliers to our own main ingredients,
we cannot absolutely guarantee that any of our products would be gluten
free.

We wish we had a different answer for you and others who have contacted
us, but we just cannot guarantee that a product, at any given time would
not contain the ingredients you are questioning.

Farmland Foods does offer a new line of "All Natural" fresh pork
items. The "All Natural" is stated on the label, along with no
antibiotic residues, no added hormones, no artificial ingredients and
minimally processed. While it does not have a gluten free guarantee on
the label, perhaps you can better evaluate if this fits into any
information that you may have.

We appreciate your contact with our company. If you would have any
further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Sandy Gronau
Consumer Service Representative
