Mrs Bradley,

Thank you for your interest in our products.  We appreciate hearing from you.

Our CURE (r)81 Hams are all gluten-free.  Also our BLACK LABEL(r) Canned
Hams are gluten free.

We hope you will continue to use the many Hormel Foods products available in
your area.

ALSO, Lynette from Cooks Family Foods in Lincoln Nebraska 402-475-6700 told
me all their hams are gluten free.  They even use real Hickory wood, not
liquid smoke!
