Potato flour / Rice flour

[Mel2]

I spotted Food Doctor potato flour and rice flour in tesco today. The potato flour is literally just potato starch and the rice flour is very finely ground rice.
I wonder whether either of these are free? If so they would be great for thickening soups, stews and gravy without incurring any syns. Anyone know?

any item that is ground up and not used in its orginal form needs to be counted as syns

It's not food abuse because they come in that form already, but like all flours they are synned I'm afraid

Powdered mashed potato makes a great thickening agent by the way
