<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> A few days ago one of the messages referred to gluten problems in Hormel Corned beef with herbs. If I remember, the corned beef pretreated with herbs was gluten-contaminated, that with a separate herb package was safe. Is the herb package safe to use or is it contaminated? I'd be grateful for the sender's replying to me off-list as we plan to cook the corned beef tomorrow. Kevin Keane
