Hmmm....I wonder why Cargill feels the need to start pumping positive PR at this point in time?
Has anyone seen any Cargill ads previously on the net?

(I should clarify that my understanding is that Cargill is one company that uses Wheat gluten)

1. Agree, the timing is convenient

Proactive PR.

However, they HAVE been running the pork commercial for some months.

2. They do sell wheat gluten.

According to their product list

they do market wheat gluten; but hasn't it been determined that the contaminated gluten came from a Chinese company? Maybe they see this as an opportunity to increase their market share if there's a decrease in Chinese imports.
