Ingredients and Hidden Ingredient with Gluten List

Primary sources:
•wheat (including semolina, durum, spelt, triticale, and Kamut® grain)
•rye
•barley
•oats (oats don't naturally contain gluten, but are often subject to contamination with small amounts and many gluten intolerant people avoid oats).

Hidden sources: (ingredients/additives which may contain gluten)
The source of many of these ingredients must be carefully scrutinized to ascertain whether or not any gluten is present. For example, modified food starch from corn is acceptable, as long as no wheat starch is included. Apple cider vinegar is acceptable, but distilled vinegars may contain gluten. Pure buckwheat or buckwheat flour is acceptable, but many buckwheat flours are contaminated with or have wheat flour added.
