Several people semed confused as to why this cereal was recalled.  They 
pointed out that it wasn't marked "gluten free" so why shouldn't it contain 
kamut.

  The reason is that U.S. law requires any product containing one of the 8 
common allergens --wheat is one of them -- to actually say that it contains 
that allergen. The word  "kamut" is not good enough.  It must say "wheat"  It 
didn't. So it was recalled.  Has nothing at all to do with the term "gluten free", 
which is not yet regulated at all in this country.

It doesn't help the reader's comprehension that my posts are always badly 
broken up with embedded codes.  I have queried the webmaster as to why 
this happens, but haven't gotten a response.  I compose on directly on the 
Archives site and send via yahoo e-mail using "text only".    If anyone can 
helkp me clear up my posts, I'd appreciate it.  Mary b
