There are Passover products made from wheat. Matza is a good example.
It is unleavened bread. Therefore, most likely Matza or any Passover
products made from matza flour would contain gluten. However, I don't
know if these Matza products would contain as a high a gluten content as
non Passover wheat products.
If I am wrong on this would somebody in the discussion group please
comment on this.
