I had contacted them about A-1 steak sauce because Geoff is always trying to find a bbq sauce I can eat, and can make his own provided the ingredients are okay. But many of the canned kind have gluten and/or suspicious ingredients in them. But the response was general about kraft Foods! And it sounds easy to identify. Anyone have a counter experience to this with Kraft foods? I'm always suspicious as to whether the people answering know enough about gluten, but this one sounds reputable.
Hi Katy,
Thank you for visiting http://www.kraftfoods.com/.
We understand how important it is for people who have been medically diagnosed with gluten sensitivity to have accurate information about foods to help plan their meals and diets. Therefore, it has been a long standing policy for all Kraft and Nabisco products to list ingredients that contain gluten on the ingredient statement. These items will be listed using commonly known terms such as Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye. For other ingredients that contain gluten, the grain source will be declared in parenthesis after the ingredient name. For example, if the ingredient "natural flavor" contains a gluten source, the label would read: natural flavor (contains rye). Other ingredients that contain gluten are: Triticale, Spelt, Kamut, Mir or Farina (also known as Far or Farro).
For Kraft-branded products that contain vinegar, information from our vinegar suppliers assures us that the vinegar we use in our products is gluten free. All vinegar is distilled and through the distilling process protein gluten is removed.
I hope this assists you in making food choices that are appropriate for your personal needs. If you have additional questions about your personal dietary needs, please consult your doctor or a registered dietician.
Lastly, here's a link for more information on Choosing Gluten Free Foods.

Katy,
Their sort of "general" response to you is pretty much a rephrasing of the guidelines published in the food labeling law that went into effect in Jan. 1, 2006, (as you're probably aware). I agree with Dee, to the best of my knowledge, Kraft has a good history of not only using accurate labels to follow the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law, where gluten and other common food "allergens" are concerned. I trust their labels. (Despite the fact that the FDA claims that Velveeta is not cheese).

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
