Dear Ms. Bell:

Thank you for contacting us.

As of this date, all of our BUSH'S BEST products are gluten-free with  
the exception of our BUSH'S BEST Chili Beans, our BUSH'S CHILI MAGIC  
line, and our Bush's Homestyle Chili line.

We do use cornstarch in some of our products, but it does not contain  
gliadin gluten from wheat, barley, oats, or rye grains, which may  
cause adverse responses in persons suffering from Celiac Sprue.  Any  
vinegar used in our products is corn-based and distilled.

In addition, at this time, all of our products are casein/dairy/egg- 
free.  None of our products, expect our Honey Baked Beans, contain  
soy.  The soybean used is bleached, deodorized and refined.  No  
protein remains in the soybean oil to cause an allergenic reaction;  
therefore it does not require labeling as an allergen.

As well, all of our BUSH'S BEST products are being made without  
peanuts or peanut oil.

Although our Barbecue Baked Beans contained peanut oil when they were  
originally introduced, they were reformulated in 2002 and no longer  
contain peanut oil.

As of this date, all of our BUSH'S BEST products are being made  
without Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).


I hope this information is helpful.  Please keep in mind that we are  
constantly expanding our product line and may add new products that  
contain potential allergens.  In order to ensure that a product is  
allergen free, please check the ingredients on the label or check the  
"Product Q&A" section of our web site.  If you are still unsure,  
please email us via our web site: www.bushbeans.com.


Sincerely,
Teesee Moore
Consumer Relations Coordinator
