<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I asked people's opinion about these pastas in a pouch as they look like they'd be good for a child's sleepover, camp out, travel needs, etc. However, they are a bit pricey for everyday use. The results were anything but supportive in one direction or another: Those who said they were NOT good and to avoid them like the plague: 6 Those who said they were good (or at least their kids like them): 7 Those who said they were only okay--they'd do in a pinch: 5 One person commented that they were sort of like Spaghettios. Now I grew up eating Spaghettios and, while I would not claim them as gourmet food, I liked them as a kid. So, I guess the answer would be to find an outlet that sells the packets in single servings (i.e. not to buy a case) and give them a try. After that, assuming they pass muster, only buy them for "emergencies." *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List* Archives are at: Http://Listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?LIST=CELIAC
