  We consider the expected level of primordial non-Gaussianities in models in
which density perturbations are produced by spatial fluctuations in the decay
rate of the inflaton. We consider both the non-Gaussianities resulting from the
self-couplings of the field that controls the decay rate as well as from the
non-linear relation between field and curvature perturbations. We show that in
these scenario non-Gaussianities are of the "local" form, that is well
described be the ansatz R =Rg + f_{NL} (Rg^2 - <Rg^2>). This is a consequence
of the fact that they were created when modes were already outside the horizon.
We show that f_{NL} is naturally of order a few in these models, much larger
than what is expected in the standard one field models of inflation (f_{NL}\sim
10^{-2}) and possibly accessible to observations.
