Cheese And Near-cheese

[ryebaby0]

Is CheezWhiz gluten-free? I thought I found it on a list, but of course now I can't . Same problem with Polly-O string cheese. I know they're Kraft products, so all I get on the phone is some guy reading me their "Kraft has a policy of plainly listing....." yadda yadda . Yet, there is no ALLERGENS: panel --- and obviously both of these items contain MILK! So now I'm nervous.

My son "passed" his dairy challenge and now we're adding those items back into his diet I think the yogurt, especially, will be nice for him.

Kraft is not telling you there's an allergen panel; they're telling you to read the ingredient list. In the case of gluten, if there is any it will be clearly listed as wheat, rye, barley, or oats. And I believe they do the same for the other seven top allergens (but with gluten they list ANY source of gluten). But there is no "allergen panel."

IMO, Kraft's policy is exactly what I'd like every company to do because then I'd never have to call another company again.

I've never found a string cheese with gluten and last time I checked CheezWhiz was gluten-free, but read the ingredients before you assume.
