<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> According to the company these are gluten free. They are prepared raw potatoes that are available in the refrigerated section. Although not cheap it does save time and make it possible to make certain dishes from scratch (so you get a homemade product that costs the same or less than the commercially available product IF you could find them without gluten). A friend makes potato kugel using their shredded hash browns and I think I will make some potato latkes this year using the shredded hash browns. The natural flavorings can be from 3 different starches (I was told which ones but don't remember which ones they are except one is corn, but the others are not from a gluten containing grain). The dextrose is from corn. This is kosher under O-U (the mashed potatoes are O-U dairy). I also told them that (as long as they were comfortable with saying this on the package) stating they are gluten free on the package IS a selling point and that friends that do not have celiac will tell their friends with celiac that this or that product says it is gluten free right on the package.
