I think we should all contact Campbell's and beg them to make some gluten-free soups, using Rice Chex as an example of a manufacturer now getting thousands of new customers. We need cream soups for baking, tomato soup, and just about anything else! If enough of us ask, maybe they'll start thinking about the thousands of customers they're losing.

Yes! You're so right! We REALLY should! I keep hoping that General Mills will make corn Chex gluten-free too.

The new Cambell soups have some gluten-free options (healthy harvest?)

I just found the Zesty Azteca Meatball the other day, but haven't tried it yet. Up until now I've just been avoiding Campbell's altogether because every can I ever picked up had gluten in it.

Same here. This stuff was on sale, so for some reason I decided to look at it.

I just picked up Campbells Select Harvest Savory Sausage and Vegetables canned soup from Shop Rite in CT and there are no Gluten containing ingerdients on the label

I also read that the Savory Chicken and Brown Rice is gluten-free

Just be careful if you are MSG sensitive thought because, although they say no MSG is added, they use autolyzed yeast which is MSG

I don't remember off hand what the brands were. Two of the products that I called about were frozen fish entrees-the one that is gluten-free is a salmon with grill seasoning. The other is sliced turkey in a black plastic container with some sort of Italian looking label-Columbus is the name maybe. Sorry that doesn't help much. Our stock has run out and we need to get back, if we get back soon I'll try to check. Keep in mind that I checked and posted this thread in January. They still carry the two that were gluten-free though. There are several threads here if you do a search where many of us have listed gluten-free products from Costco.
