Healthy Choice Chicken & Rice Canned Soup

[Nikki2777]

Hi - Does anyone know if Healthy Choice Chicken & Rice Canned is gluten free?  Does anyone with Celiac eat it safely?

 

The ingredients list both Maltodextrin and Potato Maltodextrin, so I'm wondering about that first Maltodextrin.  It's a Con Agra product, if that matters.  When I did a search here, the only recent posting was about a recall in spring, 2014 of the microwavable version because WHEAT wasn't listed in the ingredients (!).

 

Thanks.  I buy these for my kids and only just tonight thought to look at the label to see if I could have some.   Though I don't love that they had to do that recall ;-)

If an ingredient is sourced from a gluten grain, Con Agra will clearly say so. Disclosure of wheat is required by law in both the US and Canada. The soup is gluten-free.

And maltodextrin is from corn. Even when I was corn intolerant I could eat it because there is no protein in it.

Thanks.  I got an e-mail back from Con Agra that basically repeated what was on the website, but with enough additional info to make me feel comfortable eating it - combined with your reassurances!

 

Looking forward to that soup...

And just a FYI - Progresso has a gluten-free line of soups. I believe chicken and rice is one of them. They will be mixed in with all the other Progresso soups in your grocery store but will have gluten-free on the label. I get their Rich and Hearty New England Clam Chowder and it is really really good.
