The frozen Chicken Vindaloo is not on their Gluten free list but there also aren't any obvious offending ingredients.
Trader Joes is usually really good with their private label foodstuffs and listing all allergen information and ingredients but the list of ingredients for this product includes "spices".
Has anyone had it and is it safe?
Thanks in advance,
Ari

They are really good about labelling stuff. If it says spices, it won't have gluten in it. I hope this helps!

Thank you kindly Kassandra! I did miss that note and the only reason why I was sooo confused by the ambiguity is because they are really really really good with their labeling stuff.
I should have known.
Thanks again,

oh my gosh! 
Trader Joe's has vindaloo? I didn't know! I"ll definitely try it.
If you want a really delicious and easy vindaloo curry, try Patak's. Almost all of their products are gluten free!

When I am feeling extremely lazy, I just cut chicken into big chunks, take a dollup of Patak's in a small bowl and add a bit of water or chicken broth to make a thick paste. Coat the chicken and microwave it two or three times, stirring each time.
SO yummy!!!!!!!! Serve w/ rice and steamed vegetables. To make it even yummier, add some fresh lime, finely-chopped white onions, chopped cashews, and a good chutney.

I LOVE Patak's. We had their Jalfrazi (sp?) sauce over shrimp with rice and veggies and it was the best Indian meal I've had outside our favorite Indian restaurant.
