I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I eat the rice-a-roni red beans and rice almost daily. it is a box with dry beans, rice, and a packet full of spices.
The ingredient list says it contains “hydrolyzed protein” made from, among other things, wheat. That means it has gluten in it and it’s not gluten-free. It’s also not kosher for Passover.
Edit: Reading further, it also has “hydrolyzed gluten”, so… yeah.
The packet full of spices has much more than just spices in it, and it’s that which has the gluten.
A significant fraction of the population will IMHO feel even better by avoiding all gluten, including of course the pasta in the Rice-a-Roni.
rice is gluten free AFAIK.
Yes, but Rice-a-roni is pasta and seasonings. It is added to rice (or to rice and beans).
Alternative suggestion though I’d skip the Knorr beef bouillion which is mostly salt and MSG.

ah, in that case i’d suggest replacing it with cumin, pepper, garlic, and bouillon cube.
Oh, sorry for the misinformation.
I was remembering a different flavor of Rice-a-Roni (and forgetting that the rice comes in the box).
