Email From K C Materpiece Bbq Sause

[ebrbetty]

Dear Ms.

Thank you for contacting us about K.C. Masterpiece BBQ Sauce - Honey Teriyaki. We always appreciate hearing from our consumers. Our products do contain trace amounts of gluten, usually derived from a corn starch. Wheat is on our allergen listing, so in order for it to be in or product it does have to be specially marked on the back label.

Again, thank you for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Katie O' Brien

What do you think? If someone is not sensitive to corn, would it be okay?

from the email its safe as long as wheat is not listed on the ingredients list.

I don't know....I usually dodge manufacturers who tell me their product is/isn't gluten-free when I can tell from their response that they don't even know what gluten is. Gluten from corn starch???? I love the product; I don't trust the information.

Actually, there is such a thing as corn gluten. Of course, this is not the gluten we have to be concerned with as Celiacs. I've gotten this response from companies (including drug companies) before--I think they are just being honest.

HI all

I so happen to use the original KC masterpeice bbque sauce with no prob.

I have spoken to them by phone.

I do live in KC

Yep, corn starch does indeed have gluten. Not a gluten celiacs have to worry about, but technically it's "gluten."
