I spoke with a Director of Compliance at Bush Bros and he did guarantee me that all Bush's best flavors other than the Chili line is gluten free. He said his MFS is corn based. What a relief. Fair is fair so I felt very compelled to make this update and happily admit that I was wrong. I can't let the response about flour not being wheat go, however...

WHAT!? You have to be kidding! Modified Food Stach = FLOUR (as in wheat). I have heard about wheat being a "top 8 allergen" and some legal requirements to list allergens (as of recent legislation) but I have been warned that "modified food starch," at least as of now, meets that requirement because it is so vastly presumed to consist of wheat based flour...

I got the exact same, verbatim response from a Ms. Kenna Hess, Customer Relations Coordinator in June 2008. Now go read the labels of Bush's Best Honey flavored beans along with the Boston Baked Beans flavor. You'll clearly note MODIFIED FOOD STARCH (not corn starch) as an ingredient. No corn specification is made and in more cases than not, that means...

Yeah, does anyone have an answer??? I googled with no luck.
