Campbell’s skillet sauces

[PJ Kidwell]

Are the Campbell’s skillet sauces gluten free?

Very few Campbell's brand items are gluten-free.

The sauces aren't listed and the labels all say "modified food starch". Since it doesn't say what type of starch, you should assume wheat.

Actually all modified food starch made in the USA is made from corn. Please see our safe list:

Modified Food Starch can be made with wheat, but usually it is made from corn in the US.  If it contains wheat, the label must note that wheat is in the product since it is one of the eight allergens per the FDA.

However, I side with Ferir.  The best place to check is with the manufacturer and to always read the label as websites do not always keep up with label changes.    Campbell’s has a limited gluten free product list.  Gluten free means that they insure that the supply line is indeed gluten-free and meets gluten-free standards of less than 20 ppm.  

“We have a strict two-step process for validating a product as gluten-free and ensuring that it meets FDA’s criteria for the claim. First, we verify all the ingredients are gluten-free, then we analyze the finished product to make sure it is also free from any gluten.  Additionally, we also test finished products at least once every six months to ensure continued compliance with our gluten-free policy.“

Me?  I would not use this product.  I am concerned that contamination can take place within the supply chain or manufacturing process.   Obviously, even Campbell’s is concerned as well.

@cyclinglady is correct here that if it doesn't include "wheat" as an allergen the modified food starch is made from corn, but I just want to point out that a survey was done years ago and there are only a handful of very large companies in the USA that make modified food starch, and 100% of it is made from corn. Only if the product is made outside the USA would you need to worry about this ingredient, but existing labeling laws in the USA pretty much remove you from having to know this little tid bit of info! ?
