Hillshire Farms' website says this:

We recommend you call 1-800-328-2426 (8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ET M-F) with the product name and UPC number and we can give you this information. Ingredients such as wheat, milk and eggs are not used as flavorings and are not included in spice mixes.

However, on another website (or maybe on this one) someone posted this:

I had occasion to speak with Hillshire Farms last week when we were traveling and all of their products except the Corn Dogs and Beer Brats are gluten-free.

All Hillshire Farm cold cuts are gluten-free. Same with Carl Buddig. All but two Boar's Head (pickle loaf is one) are gluten-free. Sara Lee will give you a list. Oscar Meyer (Kraft) will clearly list any gluten in the ingredients.

BUT if you get meat sliced at the counter, they MUST clean the slicer.

I think I'll stick to the prepackaged. I hate to say it, but I worry too much about cross contamination.

I have Hillshire Farms every day and I an very sensitive to Gluten so I would know right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
