Thank you for visiting the Land O'Lakes Web Site.

Your inquiry pertained to gluten in Land O'Lakes' products. We
understand your concern of potential allergens in food products. Land
O'Lakes strives to provide complete and accurate ingredient information
for our consumers. For any specific product, we feel the best source of
this information is the ingredient listing on each product package.

To the best of our knowledge, our natural dairy products such as natural
cheese, butter and milk do not contain gluten. Land O'Lakes' products
containing gluten include pasta and some ice cream products.

The Margarine mono and diglycerides are from soybean oil.

Please let us know if we can be of assistance in the future.

Sincerely,
Land O'Lakes Consumer Affairs

Your comments:


I would like to know if any of your products, margarine specifically,
are gluten free. The questionable item on the ingredients list would be
the vegetable mono and diglycerides. Are they derived from wheat? Thank
you.
