I recently read that you can make a mock cream cheese using a hummus recipe and adding nutritional yeast, which is a non-active yeast that is nutty and cheese-like in flavor. Red Star makes one. Hummus: Cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with garlic, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, salt.

Thanks for sharing this. An exciting recipe to hold off the starving crowd while we finish up the details of gravy making and pie crust rolling. What I am most excited about is that my 12 yer old son (also Celiac) will be able to make this dish and impress our guests with his grown up chef skills.
You are very welcome, Carrie! I hope all enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving!

See the alternatives I suggest in the first paragraph, Christina.
In response to my inquiry of Lindsay black olives the company states,
"Our olives are both gluten-free and casein-free and pose no allergy risk. Our black ripe olives do contain Ferrous Gluconate, which is used to stabilize the color. Ferrous Gluconate comes from corn and is not related to gluten."
They did not directly answer my question in regards to cross-contamination, but sent me what was on their site. I hope you find this helpful.
