Recently, someone was questioning Maltodextrin as an ingredient on this list.  I am reading Shelley Case's The Gluten Free Diet - A Comprehensive Resource Guide and it says maltodextrin is okay.  The book says that maltodextrin can be derived from many different starches, including wheat.  Wheat being used more frequently in Europe than in the U.S.  However, that wheat-based maltodextrin is processed and purified (significantly more than modified food starches) and is rendered GLTUEN-FREE.  This being validated by R5 ELISA Tests which failed to detect any gluten.
   
  Does anyone have any information to the contrary?
