Hi Everyone, I love reading the messages. It makes me feel not so alone. Are ricotta and cottage cheeses GF? Many thanks, Jan in MA

the ingred you must look for is modified food starch--if it says food starch, i dont buy it--modified corn starch is fine--i never have used ricotta cheese but cottage cheese has been a staple of mine since i went gf Very Happy

--in michigan i know that country fresh, kroger, michigan brand, pararie farms is gf--just watch the ingred---i never buy deans foods--they will not guarantee their lines---- Very Happy

Hi Jan,

While I dont 100% know for a fact...I suspect they are. Most cheeses are. Except a lot of Bleu Cheeses - because of the mold - it could be grown on a wheat based product.

I will try to find an exact answer.

I looked thru this:
http://homepage.mac.com/sholland/celiac/GFfoodlist.pdf There are LOTS of ricotta & cottage cheeses that are GF. Look in the Dairy & Sub. section.
