<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I second all that has been said about eating sushi (yum) GF but am wary of miso soup. Most of the packaged miso mixes I've seen in Asian groceries list wheat starch or processed food starch as ingredients. I haven't done an exhaustive survey. Our local Japanese restaurant uses a paste that is not certifiably GF, alas. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Steven C.
