(No, I'm not about to eat the macaroni....) I know the cheese sauce packet is reputedly gluten-free -- but has anybody out there actually tried mixing it up for gluten-free pasta? I would love to feed this to my boys, but I really want to avoid a glutenation episode......any potential for x-contam from the pasta in the box?

Kraft says the packet of cheese is gluten-free.

When I contacted ricearoni about using their sauce packets and bot noodles (like the mac and cheese) they said they could not gaurentee if there was cross-contamination with their packets.

Remember that the bags the sauces are in can breathe.

You can get the cheese mixture alone. Not sure where in the store.

I eat just the sauce packet (w/ rice noodles of course) all the time!! Richard, I had actually been talking to my mom a few days ago and we were saying "It would be great if Kraft would sell the chesse packets alone." My non-celiac younger brother usually ends up eating the noodles...I wonder if the company would let you order directly from them?...in great bulk? I've never seen it alone in any stores in NYC...or the surrounding cities...or states. I'll have to e-mail them about it or something. Thanks.

Coulter, I've heard others say you can acutally buy a shaker can of it at the store, but at some storers it's in an odd place. Maybe the popcorn section?

It is sold as like a popcorn topping. It is in a small shaker can like parmasean cheese. I know in the local super wal-mart it is in the velveeta cheese section and with the parmasean cheese. The can is a dark blue color. It is less than 2 dollars and is pretty good.

Oooh...thank you! I told my mom about this and she said it might be in some weird spot, which is why we never notice it. Is it the same stuff as what's in the packet? I'll look for it

Yes, I'll be checking my surrounding grocery stores: Gristedes, Associated, Pioneer, etc. and then I'll see where there's a Wallmart.....I don't know where there is one in the city--maybe in the suburbs...anyway, I'll report back
