Land O Lakes

[penguin]

I was looking at Land O Lakes Light butter and it has modified food starch in it, has anyone ever called on it? Dang weekends and offices being closed

[queenofhearts]

No, I always use the wicked fatty kind. Did you check their website? I remember somebody posted some gluten-free recipes that were on the site so I'd think they'd be aware...

I use the wicked fatty kind too, but I'm on weight watchers and I hate margerine...ergo...

Anyway, I looked in my clan thompson smartlist (I knew there was a reason I paid for it ) and it says their light butter isn't gluten-free

Dammit

Oh, man, that's terrible. I'd never have thought to question butter... one more thing I'll always have to ask about now. I bet my MIL uses it since she's on a heart diet...

I'm not sure I believe you, clan thompson!!! How could there be gluten in butter?!?!

Oh well, I'll get whipped butter (it's gluten-free), at least that cuts down the pointage a little bit

You know, I checked their website just out of curiosity, & I bet it is actually safe-- the nutrient info they showed had the allergen statement (contains: Milk) & it didn't mention wheat. Isn't that the usual culprit in starch? & I've heard that some of the gluten-free lists automatically eliminate foods that don't specify the starch. But maybe if you call the company on Monday they'll give you the go-ahead, for future buttering anyway...

You know what...good call! They also said in their confusing gluten statement that the label would have the most up to date information...hmm...

Also, the Clan Thompson info for them was from last November

I'll have to look more closely at the label when I'm at wally world tomorrow...

Land-of lakes pure butter and unsalted IS GLUTEN FREE.

Read the ingredients in margarine, then read

the same for margarine.........You choose.

If you have an issue with milk problems , butter is out of the question.

(All, if not most of the questions regarding products have been asked before. I would suggest that those that post, do a search on this site first, read the posts and if there is any further questions, please ask away, we are always here._

There is a vast amount of information available here...and it is soooooooo easy to find.

Thanks, Momma Goose, but I did a search and it only turned up the stuff about their gluten-free baking recipes, and regular butter...nothing on the light butter. Actually, I take that back, there was the Delphi reference, but that was dated march 05...

I already knew about their regular butters, but I saw that the light butter has modified food starch...no source listed.

I don't have a dairy problem, just a fat problem

And I hate margarine. Thanks for the info, though.

I believe it is safe...however I used Earth Balance

I always wondered whether their flavored hot chocolates like the vanilla, raspberry, and mint flavors were gluten free...can't find an ingredient listing anywhere
