I had read on other threads that this syrup contained gluten..after a recent discussion with the owner of a gluten free store here in Idaho, I decided to contact them again and here is the response I recieved today.

Dear Ms. Chandler:

Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods Group, LLC

and the products we produce which may be gluten-free. We appreciate your

interest in our company and our products.

Mrs. Butterworth's Syrup does not contain gluten. We do recommend that

you continue to review the list of ingredients on the package prior to

purchase to assure that you are meeting your specific dietary needs.

Since we are constantly improving our products, ingredients may change

from time to time.

We appreciate the time you've taken to share your specific concerns with

us, as it helps us to become aware of consumer needs. Thank you again for

your contact.

Sincerely,

Catherine Senick

That's interesting. Both my daughter and I reacted twice to this syrup. We are fine when we have pure maple syrup.

I react to it as well. I will not use it even though I got that reply. It has been to unclear with the different responses. I use Pure Maple syrup! It is not worth it to risk it! Jodie

Another answer from Pinnacle states that the modified starches contain wheat-based ingredients.

Not sure what “ Punnacle” is so I won’t go by that.  Read the ingredients - in the US sand many other countries, wheat has to be clearly labeled . One way will be “ modified wheat starch” or “ modified starch ( wheat)
