Anything with maltodextrin in it will make a person with Celiac Sprue sick. I can reference more credible resources if need be, however, look up maltodextrin on wikipedia, or a gluten-free- no list.<br/><br/>

"Although maltodextrin may be derived from wheat, it is highly processed and purified (significantly more than modified food starches) and rendered gluten-free. North American and European scientists using the most sensitive, scientifically validated R5 ELISA Tests have not detected gluten in wheat-based maltodextrin."

Note: the R5 Elisa test can detect and quantify the specific prolamins (gliadin in wheat, secalin in rye, and hordein in barley) to levels as low as 3.2 ppm gluten. 

Maybe you are an exception in being acutely sensitive to lower levels than this, but the FDA has decided that anything lower than 20 ppm can be declared as gluten-free. Or maybe you were actually reacting to gluten from something else in the product, such as "natural flavor" which can contain derivatives of rye or barley without having to declare the origin of the flavor on the label. This is why FDA needs to require that rye and barley derivatives also be declared on food labels.<br/><br/>

I ran all over town getting every last bag I could (22 in all).  I just emptied my last bag tonight at dinner.  I've written to Seneca Snacks, asking why they stopped making them - no answer, asked for the recipe so I could make them myself for my salads and meals - no answer.  
We need to get them to start making these again, they were the best on the market.  Personally they can drop a few of their other products which aren't all that great. 
I hate to have to go back to French's/Durkees French Fried Onion rings.  If they don't give us back our Crisp Onions I will stop buying Seneca products all together.<br/><br/>

I just found out about Seneca now. I love Nasi Goreng but the traditional addition of crispy fried onions is not easy because they all have wheat flour!! Was just thinking great there is one without flour and then read on.<br/><br/>
