Mom Tips

Cornstarch – Corn does not contain gluten and therefore neither do foods made from this ingredient.

Did you notice the cheese packaging? It says mozzarella cheese (with two “ss”). Curiosity: The word Mozzarella with “ç” is in accordance with some of our main Portuguese language dictionaries, such as Aurélio, Houaiss, Michaelis, Priberam and Melhoramentos. The Brazilian Academy of Letters informs that the officially registered forms are: mozzarella or mozzarella (with “z” or with “ç”).
