Oh yes, American modified food starch is GF. It is either potato starch or corn starch. Food products not produced in the US with modified food starch can be GF or not GF. It is a simple thing to call customer support of General Mills or any other company and ask about a food product. They will will tell you whether gluten is in their product or if wheat is used in the production. Some foods that have no gluten in the product use wheat in the production. That is why Quaker Oats is not GF . They use wheat on the machinery to keep the oats from sticking, but it is not in the finished product. However, having it on the machinery is enough to cause a reaction on many celiac patients.
