According to The CSA Gluten Free Product Listing, dextrose is gluten free. It says it occurs naturally in fruits and other parts of plants and is a naturally occurring form of glucose. It does not list potassium lactate.

If there is a phone number on these items please call it before consuming to check for sure. I can't count the number of times the label looked safe and it actually wasn't. A bonus from doing this is that many times a company will send coupons and some have gluten-free lists they will send. I find for myself it is better safe than sorry.

It isn't lactose as from milk. It's a derivative of corn (usually) and used as an inhibiter of pathogins. Sounds nasty but safe.

Dextrose is a form of sugar. It's gluten-free. As for the chicken, raw meat is required to list wheat, rye, or barley if it's there. Potassium lactate, which is gluten-free, is used to inhibit food-borne illnesses.
