This ice cream information may be already well known, but in case anyone
would like an official update, I forward this message from a
representative of Haagen-Daz. I have not yet received the list
(indicated below), but if anyone would like a copy or like me to post it
to the listserv, I'd be happy to do so.

Of course, everyone should evaluate for him/herself any
lactose-intolerance issues--and I do hope I'm not creating any additional
food frustrations or cravings by sending this message!

Dear Ms. McCann:

Thank you for your email requesting nutritional information on
Häagen-Dazs(r).  In an increasingly health-conscious society, we are always
happy to answer your questions about our products.

As a general rule, the gluten in any of our ice cream, frozen yogurt or
novelty products is present only in added bakery products such as cookies or
shortcake.  In most cases the ice cream itself contains no gluten.  The
modified food starch that you may find listed in the ingredients is derived
from a vegetable source and is, therefore, gluten-free.  

We will be sending a current flavor list, upon which any flavor that
contains gluten is so designated with the letter "G".  We hope that this
information will be helpful to you.  Please feel free to call our toll-free
number should you need any further information.  Our representatives will be
happy to help you. 

We value our consumers and hope you will continue to enjoy our products.
Please watch for our follow-up response to arrive shortly along with coupons
to be used toward future purchases. 

Sincerely,

Benjamin Aquino
Consumer Response Representative
