Hi Everybody,

Below, I've copied and pasted information I received from Kraft Food about their products' ingredient listings.  Very helpful!

Dianne

Thanks for visiting our web site!

It has been a long-standing policy for all Kraft and Nabisco products to list items that contain gluten on the package ingredient statement. These items will be listed using commonly known
terms such as Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye. Other ingredients that contain gluten are Triticale,
Spelt, Kamut, Mir or Farina (also known as Far or Farro).

For other ingredients that contain gluten, the grain source will be declared in parenthesis after the
ingredient name. For example, if the ingredient 'natural flavor' contains a gluten source, the label
would read: natural flavor (contains rye).

Information from our vinegar suppliers assures us that the vinegar we use in our products is
gluten free. All vinegar is distilled and through the distilling process protein is removed. Glucose
syrup or any other non-protein containing wheat based material does not contain gluten.

When listed in the ingredient statement of our products, "food starch" and "modified food starch"
always refer to corn, potato or tapioca starch; our ingredient suppliers assure us that the corn,
potato or tapioca starch we use in our products does not contain gluten. If a Kraft product has
food starch from a gluten-containing source, the source will always be identified, such as wheat
starch.

The source material of the Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein will be given in the ingredient
statement (corn, wheat, etc.) as an indication of whether or not it was derived from gluten-
containing grains.

Information from our mustard suppliers assures us that the mustard and mustard flour we use in
our products does not contain gluten. Mustard flour is made of ground mustard seeds.
