Some of you Pennsylvania and New Jersey folks might already know this - are the Penn Maid products gluten-free? They list modified food starch in some items, but at the end of each ingredient list they print in bold "Contains MILK". Looks to me like if there was wheat in there they'd say so, but can't make assumptions about gluten, can we? Sour cream and cottage cheese are what I'm most interested in. Yo, any celiacs in the Ewing/Trenton NJ area?

I don't know the answer & would like to know it too..
I knew you were really from Jersey when you stated: "Yo, any celiacs in the Ewing/Trenton NJ area?" The "Yo," gave you away

Yeah, I wasn't born in Jersey, but I've been in reach of the Philadelphia TV stations all my life and lived in NJ long enough to speak the lingo.
Here's the update: I got an answer from the parent company of Axelrod, Crowley, and Penn Maid brands regarding gluten (from the modified food starch):
Penn Maid/Axelrod/Crowley
Cottage Cheese (All)
Sour Cream (Reg, Lite and Nonfat)
Yogurts (All)
Are gluten free.
