Diamond doesn't use wheat glueten (although royal canin does and they have an interesting explanation for why on their web page re protein sources...opening another can of worms IMO...what the heck are we breeding that they need all this special "stuff" and are allergic to the more usual sources of protein?????). Although I'm not sure how productive it is to simple out a particular ingredient. The bigger picture IMO, a fact brought to light by this latest fiasco, is that we import more food products than we produce in the US and less than 1% is inspected by the FDA or USDA. So wheat today, corn last year (remember?)....what next...
