  1. I just got off the phone with the Philadelphia Cream Cheese company, and they said their original cream cheese is not gluten free because it contains more than 20 units (or whatever that is…) so they do not recommend it for Celiacs. If it was gluten free, he said they would label it gluten free.

  2. The Jalapeno flavor cream cheese list yeast extract as an ingredient.

    Do you know where this yeast extract is sourced from and that it is gluten free?
