Following the recent post about the demise of Progresso's Cream of
Mushroom soup, I visited their web site, expressed the hope that its
production might be revived, and asked for a list of their gf
products. I received an e-mail in reply, with a hint of blame that we
should have bought more when it was in production (I tried--I could
never find it), and appending a list of all their foods which DO
contain allergens, sensitivities,  etc. I wish I had saved the post,
so I could share it with you. Their statement that they do not
release lists of products free of particular allergens contradicts
somewhat the appearance in the CSA/USA booklet of df products.

What a contrast to get the following back from a visit and similar
request to the Ragu web site:
