oats, oat bran, oat fiber, oat gum, oat syrup (oats are generally safe, but because they may be in the same plant as wheat, or the same combine is used for the wheat and for the oats, they are often contaminated. So I have to look for "pure uncontaminated" oats.)

The following items may or may not contain gluten depending on where and how they are made, and it is sometimes necessary to check with the manufacturer to find out:
artificial color
baking powder
caramel color
caramel flavoring
clarifying agents
dextrins
dextrimaltose
