Thanks for posting their reply!

I never doubted the applesauce was gluten-free, and it is my favorite. I only eat the natural unsweetened one. Never any flavored variety.

They should know better than to say corn and rice have gluten though. Apparently the idea that any sticky stuff is gluten is still out there, even with a company that should be better informed. Nice that they did respond though.

I've always thought that corn and rice do have gluten--just not the type that Celiacs need to avoid.

Thanks, Deb--I eat their Natural Applesauce often!

Yes, that's what I heard, too. Rice and corn contain gluten, but not the one we need to avoid...

Mott's Granny Smith style had "natural flavors" in it and that concerned me, so hence the email to Mott and the response they gave to me. I always get cautious about the natural flavors. What if this is the one thing that they make that does have the gluten....

Glad to be of help to those who like applesauce products.
