I see this popcorn on a lot of safe lists but I am a little suspiious. My family had been doing great guten free and lately we have all had a bit of a relapse, so I have been going over all of our food looking for the culprit. This morning I had some ACTII popcorn, not the extreme flavor one tht is cautioned against, first thing in the morning before I had anything else (was making school lunch) and half an hour later had a stomach ache and my lip feels like its getting a cold sore. I looked up the popcorn and everyone says its ok but I notice their web site no longer says it's gluten free like an older thread here quotes it (http://www.actii.com/company/faqs.jsp). The ConAgra site has this to say: (http://www.conagrafoods.com/utilities/includes/faq.jsp)


"What is gluten?
Gluten is a mixture of plant proteins that occurr in grain. A small percentage of the population have an intolerance or allergy to foods containing these proteins.

Which of your products contain gluten?
We are sorry to inform you that we do not have a source that lists the gluten content of our products. However, our product labels list common allergens; such as wheat, for those allergic to wheat gluten."

That's it. I don't know if I trust wheat free to be good enough. I tried to call them but their office was closed and there was a recording saying that they will list the major allergens.
I will trcalling again later and will hopefully talk to a rep.

Has anyone else had problems with this popcorn?

Microwave popcorn isn't going to have barley or rye in it, so if it doesn't list wheat, it's gluten-free. Every microwave popcorn I'm aware of is gluten-free, including Act II.
