I'm sure many of you don't visit the clanthompson.com site often...but they have a section called gluten alerts which lists ingredient changes etc in products. I went there today and saw this below... I have rec'd homestyle in the past, so it seems no Duncan Hines Frostings are gluten-free now. I have not been in store to ck the label myself, but be aware... Go to this address to see updates: Open Original Shared Link

February 4, 2006:

Duncan Hines Creamy Home Style Frostings are no longer gluten free. They contain barley malt.

Mahee, it probably depends on when you bought. The old ones are gluten free and the new ones are not. That sure limits the choices for lazy people like me.

I emailed Smucker (which now owns the Pillsbury Frostings, go on the Pillsbury website and you will see this). A rep from Smucker called me back and left me a message that the company will list any of the major allergens at the end of the ingredient list on all of their products. She said the frosting would clearly state if there is any wheat. However, she did not mention specifics about gluten....

only wheat.

I used the Pillsbury frosting this past weekend. Saw nothing suspicious in the ingredients, and no wheat listed. I am SUPER sensitive and had no reaction. Not that that means anything, but thought I would throw that out there!

Honestly, icing is about the easiest thing in the world to make. If anyone wants to know how, just ask me. I have never used canned stuff.

I just called Pillsbury and the rep told me that there is no wheat, oats, barley or rye in any of the ingredients and ofcourse gave me the standard, but we can not 100% guarantee no cross contamination thing.

So I guess I'll consider Pillsbury my new brand of frosting.

Elonwy,

You have just prompted me to send my man over to best buy and get me a PDA - what a great idea, and why I never thought of it until now is dumbfounding. :rolleyes:

Thank you so much for your insight!!!

I know it's ridiculously easy, but it's the little things like this I don't want to do.

I agree, it's really easy to make icing but that isn't the point......I just want at least one thing to be easy as in all i have to do is open a container! i'll never understand why all of these companies thing that you have to put something from wheat in every product....i mean wheat in twizzlers! come on!

Got this response today from Dunkin Hines (Pinnacle Foods):

Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods Corporation and the products we produce which might be gluten-free. We appreciate your interest in our company and our products.

At the present time, Vlasic® Pickles, Sauerkraut and Peppers and Log Cabin® Country Kitchen syrup are gluten-free. The vinegar used in production of these items is corn-based, rather than wheat-based. Other items in our product lines (which include Swanson® frozen foods, Duncan Hines®, and Open Pit® barbecue sauces) generally contain wheat-based ingredients in the form of modified food starches and other thickening agents.

While our manufacturing facilities follow generally accepted good manufacturing practices, we do not have the flexibility of segregating production lines for the exclusive production of wheat-free items. We recommend that you review the list of ingredients on the package prior to purchase to assure that you are meeting your specific dietary needs. Since we are constantly improving our products, ingredients may change from time to time.

We appreciate the time you've taken to share your specific concerns with us, because it helps us to become aware of consumer needs. We hope you find this information helpful.

Sincerely,

Darlene Peters

Consumer Response Representative

Thanks for posting this change in ingredients! The past week I have been getting awful stomachaches and now I know why...I had an old list that stated Duncan Hines frostings as being gluten free.

Since the frosting that I had wasn't brand new I thought that maybe it was still from the batch that was supposedly gluten free. I decided to contact the company and ask them. This is the response that I received from Pinnacle Foods Corp.:

"Thank you for taking the time to email us.

In regards to your inquiry, the Duncan Hines® Frostings are not gluten

free. Contact us again if we can be of assistance in the future."

So, are Betty Crocker and Pillsbury frostings gluten free?

Betty Crocker is not gluten-free, but Pillsbury is.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison. I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of. Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
