<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Yesterday I picked up some Idaho Supreme Mashed Potato Flakes. (IDAHO SUPREME POTATOES, INC. - Firth, Idaho 83236 USA - (208) 346-6841). They told me there is NO gluten in their product or their processing **BUT** when they did in depth research into gluten contaminating their product, they determined that there may be gluten in the packaging materials (cardboard box, and inner poly bag). I haven't heard of such a thing. Is it being excessive if I discard the product (it's for my children, I use it to coat & fry chicken "nuggets") because of the packaging? I'm guessing they must mean in the glue, he didn't really know. I'm thinking if I cut the poly bag and not rip it open... or is this being careless? Has anyone else used this product, or hear/experience problems using a product packaged this way? donna
