Kraft South Beach Diet Frozen Dinner Maybe gluten-free?

Okay, I was just looking through ALL the recipes of Kraft foods and I think I may have actually found a frozen mainstream dinner that might be safe. Someone please help me out. I have no other allergies or sensitivities and (I know this sounds crazy) I'm dying to eat a real, live, normal TV dinner. I don't know why, I just am.

This is for a South Beach Diet frozen Savory Beef with Cheesy Broccoli:

Ingredients: FULLY COOKED SEASONED GRILLED BEEF SIRLOIN STEAK STRIPS AND MODIFIED FOOD STARCH PRODUCT, SMOKE FLAVOR ADDED (BEEF, WATER AND LESS THAN 2% CONCENTRATED BEEF STOCK, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SALT, SODIUM PHOSPHATES, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, FLAVOR, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, BEEF FAT, BEEF EXTRACT, GRILL FLAVOR [FROM SUNFLOWER OIL], SUCCINIC ACID, MALTODEXTRIN, SMOKE FLAVOR, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, DEXTROSE, SPICE EXTRACTIVES), BROCCOLI, WATER, CELERY, ROASTED ONIONS, CARROTS, MUSHROOMS, PASTEURIZED PROCESS CHEESE SPREAD (CHEDDAR AND COLBY CHEESE [PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES], WATER, WHEY, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SKIM MILK, MILKFAT, SALT, CARRAGEENAN, CELLULOSE GUM), CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, NONFAT DRY MILK, WHEY, CHEDDAR CHEESE (PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), SALT, TOMATO PASTE, HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN AND CORN GLUTEN, ROASTED BEEF INCLUDING BEEF JUICES, ENZYME MODIFIED CHEESE (CHEDDAR CHEESE [MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES], CHEESE CULTURE, ENZYMES, SODIUM PHOSPHATE), BUTTERMILK SOLIDS, ENZYME MODIFIED BUTTER, BUTTER, GUAR GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, DRIED ONIONS, DRIED GARLIC, SODIUM PHOSPHATES, SUGAR, CORN OIL, POTATO FLOUR, MALTODEXTRIN, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, ENZYME MODIFIED BUTTEROIL, SPICE, BEEF FLAVOR, DRIED CARROTS, FLAVOR, BEEF EXTRACT, DRIED CELERY, DEHYDRATED BUTTER, LACTIC ACID, DEXTROSE, COCONUT OIL, ANNATTO (COLOR), BEEF STOCK, TURMERIC (COLOR).

I know there are about a million red flags in there, but doesn't Kraft pledge to openly list gluten as an ingredient. In several other recipes there were some questionable items and they all had parentheses with (derived from/may contain gluten). Is corn gluten safe? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would LOVE to be able to do convenient lunches again.

Thanks in advance.

Other than having 30000000000000 ingredients, many unpronounceable, and the risk of cc, looks ok!

Be careful though, it is probably cross contaminated. Though I've never (knock on wood) been glutened by a Kraft product.

Kraft will clearly disclose gluten sources, and there are none in this case. Cross-contamination is always a risk, but experience has shown it to be extremely low. Kraft are very careful. I trust them without reservation. Enjoy.

I trust them, too. Kraft is one of the few mainstream companies that I have not had any problems with.

I ate the caprese chicken (something like that) with no problem. It tasted ok, it needed salt and I really don't salt things.

      @Scott Adams No one said anything about eating gluten consistently until testing, the appointment was scheduled and an address was given. I don't even have access to the results as it stands. I was just told "everything looks fine, but slight irritation." I don't know if they took a biopsy because I have no access to the results. I don't know how many samples they took (I recently learned they're supposed to take more than one), I don't know what things looked like internally, it was just word of mouth and I didn't know any better to pry and get copies of everything. And I know! I also have chronic Anemia, never truly resolved UNTIL I went gluten free, and low vitamin D (fairly normal in black community), and low creatine (also resolved with gluten free diet). I plan to request a new dermatologist! As well as a referral to Gastro. Food/symptom diary is a great idea though. I have no way of cooking as it stands, so even just the basics wouldn't work for me.

      @NoriTori, "gluten intolerance" is a general term that can refer to either celiac disease or NCGS. NCGS is often referred to as "gluten sensitivity" for short. Though, admittedly, there is still a great deal of inconsistency in the use of terms by the general public.

      @trents A gluten intolerance is a real possibility! I never ruled it out, but am keen on finding out the EXACT cause. I'd want testing done again to be sure it's not celiac, or SIBO (which I've considered) or other digestive disorder. Celiac seems the most pertinent considering its implications.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.
