The best thing would be if they either release more

information about this process or test the ingredient

or the fries.

I would think it would just be easier for them to test their fries for gluten, and then decide. I don't know anything about wheat allergic people, other than it's the same part of wheat that causes allergies as contains gluten (the protein) so I would think if it tests "no gluten" then it would be ok for them too. Thoughts?

I dunno...like I said, I'm well versed in gluten, but clueless with allergy. I bet they could figure it out fairly quickly, though, given all their resources! Here's hoping they do, I'd really like to know one way or the other. Preferably before I have to break it to my son.... ;-0

To my understanding, wheat can have more than just one type of protein...that gluten is one of them, but I could be wrong. I thought that people with a "true allergy" to wheat reacted to something different than the gluten.C

Mcs told me on the phone this morning that they are actively

testing the fries for gluten and will be releasing their findings. An

ELISA test shouldn't be hard for them to run.

Most folks with a wheat allergy are reacting to other proteins in

wheat. That said, a certain number of folks with anaphylactic wheat

allergies and immediate reactions also react to a specific gluten

protein (omega-5 gliadin, I believe).

It was a relatively small study, but googling something like:

omega gliadin wheat allergy

will turn up the abtracts.
