I just found three flavors of Lundberg Farms Rice Xpress at my local co-op yesterday and these flavors were labeled gluten free! They are just like the Uncle Ben's quick rice product that is being advertised on tv with the little girl heating up the packet in the microwave for a minute and then it's done... (only the Uncle Ben's version contains wheat starch...)
the three flavors are
classic beef
chicken herb
sante fe grill
I bought the classic beef, heated it up in the microwave at work for a minute and dumped it on a plate... I did end up heating it another 30 seconds because our microwave at work kinda sux... but all in all, for a quick easy side dish it was pretty darn good.

any chance they're dairy free as well?

I copied this from their website. They have a whole section dedicated to explaining celiac disease. That's unusual.
We have only a few products in our entire line of 75+ products that are not gluten free, or may have ingredients that could be a problem for the very sensitive:
Organic Multigrain Rice Cakes (discontinued)
Exotic Wild n Mushroom Quick Brown Pilaf (discontinued)
Italian Herb Risotto
Our other products, to the best of our knowledge based upon the most current research, are gluten-free and safe for those sensitive to the gliadin protein found in gluten.

bomb! thanks for sharing ! can't wait to try those. i've hated how uncle ben has to add good ol' hydrogenated oil to his quick cook rice. what's up with that?
and if anyone has a trader joes near them, they have their own brand of the quick rice too.
