<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Spoke with Cindy at Hersheys today to determine the source of the modified food starch in their "Holiday Bits". These are little red and green canides used for decorating/baking and are found in the same section with the chocolate chips, etc. Unfortunately, she indicated that the modified food starch for this product could come from one of three sources - one of which was wheat. The Hersheys company reps are very knowledgable and helpful when you call. Cindy indicated that usually the products list which source they use for the food starch, but on this product, there was no specific listing. Just thought you might like this info before the big holiday baking season begins. Sue in ND
