<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Costco sells a Sweet Italian Sausage that is just wonderful. In a call to the Garden State Sausage Co. in Hawthorne, New Jersey,who makes the sausage, I was informed that there is no wheat or gluten in the product and it is made fresh first thing in the morning before other products are used on the line. The gentlemen I spoke with says the greatest amount of calls he gets are about gluten and was familiar with celiac. He said the celiac calls outnumbered the dairy, egg and other products to which people may be allergic. I have no personal or financial interest in the company. Joan in IL
