Unilever products gluten labeling information
Hello Sarah,
Thanks for writing!
Common ingredients that may contain gluten are rye, wheat, oats and barley, and noodles and pasta prepared with any of the previously mentioned grains. HVP, TVP, flavorings, are likely to contribute gluten as well, however, if they contain any gluten, the source would always be listed in the ingredient statements.
Since product formulations change from time to time, we do not have a printed list of products that identifies those products that contain specific allergens or gluten. The best advice we can give you is to check the ingredient list on the label. Ingredients allergens as defined by FDA: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, seafood, wheat, eggs, and milk or dairy, as well as any ingredient that may contain gluten are always listed on the label
Therefore, WE SUGGEST READING ALL INGREDIENT LABELS CAREFULLY.
We hope this information is helpful!
Kind regards,
Your friends at Unilever

Art supplies / paper mache
Hi, Ross Art Paste (and possibly Elmer's Art paste, and cellulose based wall paper paste) is pure Methyl Cellulose with a little bicarbonate of soda and works really well for mache. The following site has lots of other art supplies for Celliac's people. I use both Ross and Metylan cellulose wall paper paste. If I can find my stash of Ross, I'll bring some when I come. I'm hoping to get over for a visit in June sometime. You can also get methyl cellulose from book and paper maker suppliers but it's really pricey. Hope this helps. I have a collectible doll for Zaida's collection-- I have a friend who has a toy shop who presented me with a collectible bear when I admired it. Hope I'll see you soon! C.
