Priceless information for new Celiacs

There are a number of companies/brands that will clearly label all gluten sources. This is excellent information to have at the grocery store. Several very large food companies do have this policy. You need to look for wheat, rye, oats or barley in their ingredient lists. If you don't see any of those words on one of theirproducts, then the product is gluten-free. It is not enough to just look for wheat.

The list I have of roughly 50 "trusted" brands/manufacturers is:
Arrowhead Mills, Aunt Nelly's, Balance, Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry, Bertoli, Betty Crocker, Blue Bunny, Breyers, Campbells, Cascadian Farms, Celestial Seasonings, ConAgra, Country Crock, Edy's, General Mills, Good Humor, Green Giant, Haagen Daz, Hellman's, Hershey, Hormel, Hungry Jack, Jiffy, Knorr, Kozy Shack, Kraft, Lawry's, Libby's, Lipton, Martha White, Maxwell House, McCormick, Nabisco, Nestle, Old El Paso, Ortega, Pillsbury, Popsicle, Post, Progresso, Ragu, Russell Stover, Seneca Foods, Skippy, Smucker, Stokely's, Sunny Delight, T Marzetti, Tyson, Unilever, Wishbone, Yoplait, Zatarain's.

This doesn't mean that these companies don't make lots of products with gluten in them. It just means that they won't hide it, so if you see something like "natural flavor" in the ingredients, but don't see the words wheat, rye, oats or barley, then you know that the flavor does not contain hidden gluten.

I can't possibly think of better information to get you started.
