P.F. Chang's Home Menu Meals are NOT Gluten-Free

Despite P.F. Chang's having a revised gluten-free menu at their restaurants and being very attentive to the gluten-free community, I am sad to report that their frozen Home Menu Meal are NOT gluten-free. I wrote to the customer service center of P.F. Chang's and they said

Thank you for writing us regarding PF Chang's Home Menu. At this time, none of the P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Meals for 2 are gluten free. We will forward your email to our Brand Management Group so they are aware of your comments.

I was happy to get a response, although disappointed to learn that we cannot enjoy the meals at home.
