Products sold in the USA are probably different than products sold outside of the USA. I would contact the company for specific info regarding where you live.

This site, maintained by a pharmacist, states that it is gluten free http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.htm Ingredients: http://www.rxlist.com/lipitor-drug.htm You could try contacting the manufacturer or asking your pharmacist for help, as well. ------------ There are a few chains that do gluten free pizzas, including Uno's.

I must have misread it, then. I thought you had corrected it to update it regarding gluten free labeling. My mistake!

Thanks for editing your earlier post for clarification, FF.

Jimmy Dean is part of Sara Lee, which has good gluten free labeling practices (no hidden gluten) http://www.glutenfreeinsd.com/manufacturers_statements2.html According to the ingredients, it is gluten free http://www.jimmydean.com/sitecontent/break...owls-bacon.aspx

Wheat is required to be listed as an allergen...

It has oat flour - it is not gluten free. Not safe for a Celiac to eat.

I agree about seeking medical interpretation. If your doctor doesn't know what it means and its implications, then find a doctor in your area that is familiar with Celiac. (A local Celiac support group can often help).

Providing some more info, as there is a lot of outdated information ---- because laws and regulations change. From the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness: http://www.celiaccentral.org/What_is_Celia.../67/vobId__216/ "Thankfully, new legislation requires that by the year 2006, manufacturers must clearly list wheat as an ingredient, even if it is...

Modified food starch can be from any starch. Modified food starch itself does not equal wheat. Flour does not equal wheat. wheat, potato, corn, tapioca, rice, (etc) are some examples. The FDA Allergy Labeling Law requires that any of the 8 main allergens (wheat is one) be listed. If it says Modified Food Starch, and does not list wheat, then it...
