<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Apparently everyone contacting Duncan Hines is doing some good !!!! (YAY! Go GF people!) anyway...here is the response that I received from Duncan Hines. BTW, I wrote them an email SEVERAL weeks ago and just received this response today. ******* Thank you for contacting Duncan Hines, We appreciate your concern on the addition of the Malt Syrup to the Duncan Hines Homestyle Vanilla Frosting There was a chanjge to the Vanilla Fryosting, but we are in the process of reformulating the frosting and the Malt syrup will be removed. This change will take several months before it will be available on the shelf. Thank you again for your concern and please feel free to contact us if any further information is needed. All of our other Duncan Hines frosting are Gluten Free. If you have any additional questions, please visit us at our web site or call us at 1-800-845-7286. ***** I have heard that some people were told that there was only a short listing of GF frostings. Regardless, this "lesson" just reinforces that we need to continue to read labels. If any of this is in question, please feel free to call the company as always. Take care! Andrea
