I looked up this statement -- it says their other foods do not contain
wheat gluten. You could double-check the label for wheat gluten.

Hills Pet Nutrition, Inc. Voluntarily Recalls Single Product,
Prescription Diet™ m/d™ Feline Dry Food, Only Product Containing Wheat
Gluten
Topeka, KS (March 30, 2007) - In accordance with its over-riding
commitment to pet health and well-being, Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. is
voluntarily recalling Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food from the
market. Hill's is taking this precautionary action because during a
two-month period in early 2007, wheat gluten for this product was
provided by a company that also supplied wheat gluten to Menu Foods.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests of wheat gluten samples from
this period show the presence of a small amount of melamine.
Prescription Diet m/d Feline Dry represents less than one half of one
percent of all Hill's products.
This is the only product Hill's currently sells in the United States and
Canada that contains wheat gluten from any supplier. No other Hill's
Prescription Diet® or Science Diet® products are affected by this
voluntary recall. Hill's Science Diet Savory Cuts Feline canned cat
foods, manufactured by Menu Foods, were previously withdrawn from the
market as a precaution. Together with this earlier withdrawal, less than
1% of all Hill's products have been affected.
The voluntary recall of Hill's Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food
involves discontinuation of all retail sales and product retrieval from
sellers. This recall does not include Prescription Diet m/d Feline
canned food which contains no wheat gluten.
Consumers should stop using this product and return it for a refund. All
Hill's products carry a 100 percent guarantee, and consumers can receive
a refund for recalled product.
Hill's expects to resume shipment shortly of a reformulated version of
this highly beneficial product that will not contain wheat gluten.
Please check with your veterinarian for an alternative Prescription Diet
until m/d Feline dry is reformulated and made available again.
