I thought this part was important to know:

Other Names That May Mean Gluten

These aren't always made from wheat, but unless you can confirm with the manufacturer that it's gluten free, avoid these.

Glucose
Vitamin E (sometimes derived from wheat germ, even in beauty products)
Modified food starch
Tocopheryls (this means Vitamin E)
Natural Flavors (sometimes made from barley, especially in caramel)
Hydrolized Vegetable Protein (in many vegetarian meat replacements and shampoo)
Maltodextrin

I believe if maltodextrin is made from wheat, the label has to indicate it - because it's one of the top 8 allergens. Most maltodextrin comes from corn.

You're correct of course (and if the manufacturer happens to realize that maltodextrin can be made from wheat they will surely abide by the law.) However, if it happens to be made from barley (or rye), the law does not require that fact to be noted on the label.
