OMG, I thought they used HEINZ, and I thought that Heinz Ketchup is gluten-free.

I know that the french fries are supposed to be gluten-free -- perhaps I have reacted to their KETCHUP.

Thanks for the heads up!!

Also, I had no idea that the hash browns were gluten free.

According to what I read a few months ago, SWANSON'S CHICKEN BROTH is now gluten-free.... but I am chicken to even try it, and besides.... isn't Swanson's owned by Campbells?

The ketchup has a 'filler" in it these days that's more robust than what they had been using ~ I would imagine they had some shelf life trouble and swapped out rice flour for wheat flour.

There's also this ingredient called "artificial beef flavor" ~ it's OK for the Hindus but it's made out of wheat.

They stick that in their packets ~ which is where the problem arises.

The big ketchup vending thing in the stores where you squeeze on a handle to pump it out also has the flavor stuff in it so I'm not eating any more McDonald's ketchup of any kind until they verify that any of it is gluten free again. Right now their own sites says stuff with that flavor enhancer is not OK.

Also, they put the same flavor enhancer in the sauce on the pork ribs.

My youngest son has been cooking for us while my eye mends. He's gotten into purchasing frozen boneless chicken family packs at COSTCO.

There's most of a chicken in each "blister" so you can cut off one, thaw it, and have it ready to cook in 10 minutes.

What he does is thaw it, cut it into little "nuggets" and then rolls them in a gluten free pancake mix.

Most of the breading falls off unless you dip the chicken in milk first, but it cooks up quickly in Promise ~ a special high omega oil that makes the world taste vaguely of frenchfried shrimp.

His chicken nuggets are so good even he's given up the imitation product sold at McDonalds. He finally figured out that it's mostly breading. His are mostly chicken!
