Tips

*Philadelphia brand cream cheese in the brick (not tub) contains maltodextrin. Their maltodextrin is usually derived from corn, potato, or rice. In the case where Kraft products contain maltodextrin derived from wheat, you will see an allergen warning on the label, "Contains wheat."

**Not all brands of instant pudding may be gluten free. Jell-O brand contains modified food starch which is usually derived from corn but may be derived from potato or tapioca.

***Allergens vary depending upon the cookies you use.***
