Thanks for the list. That is the reason that I only eat Kraft cheeses.

The item cited by the company is not any sort of official rule or law or definition. It was merely a proposal three years ago for people to comment on. In addition, while I would not urge anybody to eat these cheeses, I'd also bet they are perfectly gluten-free. I have never heard of any of these types of cheeses containing gluten.
