Dear Ms. Groninger: Thank you for contacting us. As of this date, all of our BUSH'S BEST products are gluten-free with the exception of our BUSH'S BEST Chili Beans, our BUSH'S CHILI MAGIC line, and our new Bush's Homestyle Chili line. We do use cornstarch in some of our products, but it does not contain gliadin gluten from wheat, barley, or rye grains, which may cause adverse responses in persons suffering from Celiac Sprue. In addition, at this time, all of our products are casein/dairy-free and soy-free. As well, all of our BUSH'S BEST products are being made without peanuts or peanut oil. Although our Barbecue Baked Beans contained peanut oil when they were originally introduced, they were reformulated in 2002 and no longer contain peanut oil. I hope this information is helpful. Please keep in mind that we are constantly expanding our product line and may add new products that contain potential allergens. In order to ensure that a product is allergen free, please check the ingredients on the label or check the "Product Q&A" section of our web site. If you are still unsure, please email us via our web site: www.bushbeans.com. Sincerely, Teesee Moore Consumer Relations Coordinator Please do not reply to this email...this mailbox is not monitored.
