<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here is the summary of my question regarding Spam & olives. Basically, no one could answer the question about the olives being GF. Another person said that olives give them a reaction as well. I know that Spam is horrible for anyone, but my husband cannot have gluten, soy & milk/dairy, so we try to find something different for him. The spam he had does not have the modified food starch. Kristen ***** My daughter cannot eat Spam either.. It has modified food starch in it here in Oklahoma. We have found modified food starch can be derived from many sources including wheat.. I don't know about the olives as she doesn't like them.. Have a good day.. Sandi ***** Personally, spam would give my gut a reaction whether or not it contained gluten. It contains so much FAT and so little meat, I can't figure out why they even consider it a food. My husband (not a celiac) gets diarrhea if he eats it. cbh/montana ***** Did you check the Spam? I know Treet which is the same thing has modified food starch in it. Just something to check out. ***** Tell him not to eat Spam anymore. I've seen it in process at Hormel's. Disgusting to say the least. Penny Vancouver Wa USA ***** Hi. Just wanted you to know that I get the reaction from olives even when they don't have gluten.... I guess for me it's just one more thing to eliminate... Shari in PA ***** I don't know about the olives but the Spam is listed as gluten free. Juda in Texas *****
