I don't know how much gluten they contain, but my feeling is that it is likely to be more than you would find in wheat starch and so best avoided by celiac patients. How can I get more information? The national support groups listed previously offer new celiac packets and frequent newsletters. Local support groups hold regular meetings and provide a chance for you to interact with other celiacs. Many local support groups offer newsletters, cookbooks, and other information.

To replace 2 Tbsp (wheat) flour as a thickener, use 1 Tbsp cornstarch , 1 1/2 Tbsp sweet rice flour, or 2 Tbsp of gluten-free flour mix. It is necessary to stir these flours with a bit cold liquid before heating otherwise the starch will make little lumps that will not mix in. Cornstarch has no noticeable flavor and is preferred when a clear (not cloudy) sauce such as sweet and sour sauce is desired.

Wheat gluten is the principal protein component of wheat flour and may be used as a thickener in pet foods. It also has uses in human food products as a stabilizer or thickener. It is not generally associated with food contamination.

For 100 units of whole grain wheat, about 70 units of white flour results from the milling process. The rest is separately sold as wheat bran or wheat germ. Those 70 units of flour are about 10 percent- 15 percent protein, thus about 7 to 10 units of protein for 100 units of whole wheat. The protein is about 80 percent gluten, thus about 6 to 8 units of gluten for 100 units of whole wheat.

Based on the information FDA has, it appears that melamine was added to the products handled by the two Chinese suppliers to increase the apparent protein content in those products. In April 2007, pet food manufacturers in South Africa recalled dry cat and dog food made with corn gluten that was contaminated with melamine and imported from China. There is no evidence that contaminated corn gluten was imported in the United States for pet food production.

FDA is not required to inspect foreign firms that export food or feed products to the United States. As part of our risk-based approach, we do conduct foreign food inspections in a number of targeted program areas, but these inspections are not a prerequisite for firms to export products to the United States. FDA's risk-based approach means that the agency uses its limited inspection resources to look at products that pose the greatest risk to public health.

Yes....but to date....the Chinese Importer "claimed" it was only distributed to the feed mills for pets..
