Must be a new ruling. I still find labels with "modified food starch". I
tend to avoid that entirely, as it's most likely to be corn, and I'd
rather avoid wheat, although it bothers me less than corn. What I really
hate though, are the places where I least expet to find corn or wheat.
Where do you think the oats fall in Cheerios' ingredients? Third, after
corn and wheat! My wife just brought me home some Cracker JAck flavored
rice cakes, a nice treat since I haven't been able to eat popcorn for
years. Number two ingredient? Corn!

Gotta read those labels...
