Gluten-Free Products & Warnings
(including Dairy-Free Products)
Foods
to Avoid
Make
sure you go to: Celiac
Disease/Gluten
Intolerance to read more about it and foods to avoid. This is
one
statement at this site: "Other key words to watch for are: farina,
flour,
caramel coloring, enriched flour, cereal, malt flavoring or extracts,
monosodium glutamate (MSG)-may have wheat gluten in it,
modified food starch, emulsifiers, stabilizers, distilled vinegar,
semolina,
durum, and triticale."
Here are some other web sites to learn more about foods to avoid: GFCF Diet, Foods to Avoid,
Foods and
Additives to Avoid
Call or visit web
sites to make sure certain manufacturer products
are
safe to eat. Ingredients such as MSG or other food products might
have gluten in it. For vinegar or distilled vinegar, if
wheat is the
source, it is tripled distilled. Some celiacs still react
to it. See below.
Distilled Vinegar / Vinegar is
considered gluten-free but some people may react to it. At Hunt's it can't
claim that thier Barbecue Sauce and Ketchup are gluten-free because it
"... contains distilled vinegar made from wheat or corn and may contain
trace amounts of these grains."

Safeway
Gluten-free List @ dfwceliac.org
Also, the representatives said all of the top 8 allergens will be
listed on the label if it is in the ingredients; except: oats, barley,
malt, etc. They said that is why they have a gluten-free list.
Others at: Gluten-Free
InfoWeb: Manufacturer Addresses but always verify if the products
are gluten-free.
Gluten-Free
Products, Gluten Warnings, and Cross-Contamination
Gluten-Free
InfoWeb has a statement from McCormick/Schilling
(about their products).
I talk to McCormick/Schilling concerning about their seasoning
mixes. The mixes can not
be declared gluten-free since they are made in the same factory as
other gluten-free products. For example, the sloppy joe mix does
not contain wheat but there is the issue of cross-contamination.
You have to be really
careful with cross contaminations,
for example, store brand baking
powder (e.g. Kroger baking powder), etc. I would not trust any
gluten-free flours and grains product that are in the bulk bins because
someone might put a gluten/wheat scoop into a gluten free product.
I talked to Kraft
Foods on May 17, 2002. They no longer provide a
Gluten-free
list because they feel the ingredient label will state if it has gluten
in
the product. For example, if it come from some type of gluten, it
will
have the ingredient and then (wheat, barley, rye, oats, etc.) on the
label. They have stated the same in early 2004.
There are probably
lots more companies follow this procedure of what
is
on the label is what is in their products. Call to make sure.
Note: You might have to
make sure
certain products are still gluten-free by calling the various companies.
You will need to
verify with the various companies to make sure the
"distilled vinegar" is acceptable.
For example, the "Van Camp's Pork and
Beans"
could be derived from wheat. You will have to contact them to
find out what the status of their beans are.
Warnings for Non-Food Items
Play Dough:
Play-Doh and
Crayola
dough has wheat/gluten in them so do not use them. "Crayola Model
Magic modeling compound and Crayola Modeling Clay are gluten free."
If you need a play dough recipe, go to: Cel-Kids
Play Dough Recipe to find one.
Envelopes and Stamps:
Some envelopes will come from wheat gluten,
others will come from corn gluten, and there might be other forms so be
careful. So, to be safe, you need to moisten your finger (or use
a
sponge) to seal an
envelope and stamp.
There are probably lots more out there so ALWAYS verify with the
manufacturer if a product is gluten-free because any smalll amount of
gluten that enters the system will cause damage (even touching a gluten
can cause skin reactions for those with Dermatitis
Herpetiformis (DH)- like I have).
There is a gluten free/wheat free play dough.

Someone in the GFCFrecipes group emailed Nature's Path since they
changed their Kosher label to Dairy
instead of Pareve. This
is the response they gave to her: "Please note that our Chocolate
Crispy Rice bars are made with milk chocolate and are therefore not
suitable for you to eat. Our other two flavors are fine- they are,
however made on the same equipment as the Chocolate bars, which is why
they are certified Kosher Dairy, but we thoroughly clean the line

NOTES:
Be aware of cereals with malt or malt flavor/ings in the cereal since
it usually contains gluten.
There are more gluten-free cereals in grocery stores and health stores
so
look for "Gluten-free" on the package or contact the manufacturer or
grocery stores to find out if the cereal is gluten-free.
Kellogg's Corn Puffs
The
formula was changed and wheat starch
was added to this cereal.
Malt-o-Meal: Corn Puffs, Puffed
Rice, & Cocoa Dyno-Bites are no longer Gluten-free
The Fruity Dyno-Bites might be GFCF but there is cross-contamination
issue. Always verify to see if they have changed the ingredients
(which they have to three cereals within the last year-since
2004). We don't use this cereal since it has food dyes and other
additives. If we did use their cereal, I wouldn't trust them
anymore (since they don't make any other cereal that is GF).
Arrowhead Mills
There are
some gluten free products. Look for "Made with Non Gluten
Ingredients". They test each batch, when this in on the package.
Barbara's
Bakery - Special Diets
Safeway Cereal (Corn Nuggets, Corn Flakes and Fruity Nuggets) NOTE:
Always look for malt in the cereals to see if they are gf.
Food For Life - Breads

Nature's Path We use this
cereal all the time. Koala Crisp has chocolate syrup which is
made from corn alcohol. (I don't react to this. They told

contamination issues." It is NOT SOY FREE.
Trader's Joes Dutch Process

"They could not guarantee that it is gluten-free, as evidently they
manufacture other items and cannot rule out cross-contamination."

BestFoods (and Hellmann's)
Mayonnaise

Also, egg-free and corn-free. There is a small amount of soy

Twin Valley Mills - Sorghum
Flour Note: You can also purchase grain from them.
We also buy tapicoa starch and potato starch at an Asian
Supermarket. I have not reacted to the brands we purchase so they
are gluten-free. (e.g. gastro problems and my hands have not broken out
in Dermatitis Herpetiformis)
Flours & Grains
Giusto Brown Rice Flour,
Millet Grain, etc.
I e-mailed Matt Giusto and he sent the following: "The Brown Rice flour
is "Gluten Free" as determined by the International Codex Standard.
This standard is 200 ppm(parts per million). We have tested out these
flours and the results are BLD (below levels of detection). We do not
"Guarantee" to be gluten free for the fact that we are a flour
processing facility in which not only wheat but many other flours are
manufactured. This is not to say the product is not gluten free. In
order to be considered 100% "Gluten-Free or Wheat Free" the
manufacturing facility needs to be dedicated to ONLY non-gluten
ingredients." I e-mailed him back and he sent the following: "The
actual parts per
million count we consistently receive is below 10. Any reading
below 10 is BLD (Below levels of detection)."
In January 2005, I talked to Matt Giusto and he told me they test all
their non-gluten grains and flours before they are placed in the
bags. We use to buby their brown rice flour but since we bought
our mill we mill our flours. I have not reacted with gastro
problems and I have not broken out in Dermatitis Herpetiformis so
the grains and brown rice flour are gluten-free.
Grain Mill
We
purchased a WhisperMill and mill our flours now. We purchase
Giusto millet grain to make our own
millet flour. The WhiperMill is no longer made but you can buy the Nutrimill
Grain Mill instead. We buy a 20 pound bag of brown rice (from
an Asian supermarket) and mill our own rice flour.
Franks
Shelton's
Natural
Frozen Foods
Delimex Beef Tamales and Chicken
Taquitos are gfcf. (wheat gluten
casein dairy free).
I called
Delimex about the tamales and
the lady said, "Their products are ran on separate lines."
so that is probably the case for the taquitos
It is now owned by Heinz.
El Monterey
Shredded Beef Corn Taquitos (GFCF)
If you are not on a dairy-free diet, the Chicken Corn Taquitos 20 count
are (GF) gluten-free.
Frozen Potatoes: French Fries & Tater Tots
Inland Valley Tater Puffs
and other Inland Valley french fries. (They are not
corn-free.) Go to: Allergen
List to find acceptable potatoes.
Since using Whole Foods brand of frozen potatoes, the regular store
bought frozen potatoes are really not as good as the all-natural taste
of potatoes.
Whole Food's 365 Every Day Value: Tater Puffs, Crinkle Cut French Fries
and Hash Browns are gfcf and also corn-free.
Other manufacturers might be fine so you will need to contact
them. Albertson's fries are not gf.
Gelatin, Flavored and Unflavored
Knox
Kroger
Other brands are probably gf too. (We don't use flavored gelatin
due to the food dyes in them. It makes my son very, very
talkative)

Note: I have never tried their products.
Grits
Quaker
Grits I called and the gentleman said the Quick: Grits,
Golden Grits are gfcf. (You will need to call to double check for
the others but it looks like they are from their web site.) There are
no BHT added in these products. It takes 5 minutes to cook these
products.
The Quick Grits and Country Bacon are gfcf but they have BHT
added.

and it's really good without the added sugar It took me awhile to
get use to it but I love these spreads.)
Margarine
Check for the "U" and "Pareve" or "Parve" on these products.
We always buy Fleischmann's when they are on sale. We freeze the
sticks in
the freezer. When we need more margarine, we take one out of the
freezer and thaw it in the refrigerator. We don't use margarine
anymore (if we do, it's only in frosting-which isn't very often).
NOTE: For one stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted margarine, add 3/8 of a
teaspoon of salt (a heaping 1/4 teaspoon) to the recipe. (I
always use 1/4 teaspoon on salt for recipes that call for 1 3/4 to 2
cups of flour.)
Benecol Spread It also reduces
cholestrol.
It is also gluten-free.
Earth Balance Including Soy
Garden.
Fleischmann's
Unsalted margarine stick and Light spread are GFCF and cholesterol
free. They have (U) Pareve on the labels. Note: the other two
types are not dairy-free (CF). The light spread has xanthan gum
in it (which is most likely from corn since I react to it). Beatrice Group The
equipment that the Fleischmann's dairy-free margarine's are produced on
are cleaned so it won't have any dairy products in them. 1-800-988-7808

Rice
Dream (from Imagine Foods) Note: They
claim it is
gluten-free but I'm not sure (since various people online react to
it). Here is what it says at Imagine Foods: "Yes. Although Rice
Dream Beverage is processed using a barley enzyme,
the barley enzyme is discarded after use. The final beverage might
contain a minute residual amount (less than .002%) of barley protein."
Trader Joe's Rice Beverage
claims it is gluten free but I had skin reactions that I only had when
I ate gluten. The Trader Joe's milk in 2008+ has the same
ingredients as Rice Dream Rice Beverage (which contains a barley
enzymes). Don't trust TJ's either.

Kroger brand Orange Juice is really good
I would say all orange juices are fine to drink (unless it states
otherwise on the container).

Rice Syrup
Lundberg Rice Syrup Beware, they use a fungal enzyme to produce the rice
syrup. You might react to it if you have yeast/mold
allergies. (I made chocolate rice bars in late April 2005
and reacted to the rice syrup. My jaws got all tingly and
nostrils were slightly congested. The reaction lasted about 2
hours.)
Sausage
Celiac.com:
gluten-Free Hot Dogs & Sausage List (I don't know which ones
are dairy-free.)
Owen's Sausage is
NOT gluten-free because 3 out of 4 of us reacted to it. Now, we
know we are
celiac or at least gluten intolerant.
I called them on 3/16/04 and she said "Our
sausage IS NOT GLUTEN FREE". I called them again on 3/17/04 and
talk to someone on the floor and she said: the monosodium glutamate is
extracted from a gluten source but she didn't know what kind. So,
make sure before you eat anything with MSG in it.
Here are two responses I received from Owen's Sausage via e-mail on
5/3/04:
"We do not claim to have a gluten-free sausage. The reasoning is
because most MSG products are manufactured by using gluten based
products. We can not guarantee that all the MSG that we receive
is manufactured from a gluten-free source so we can not make a
gluten-free claim with our sausage."
"We buy our MSG from a broker which may purchase some of this product
through export. As a company we have now made the decision to not
claim any of our products as gluten-free because of now realizing the
sensitivity of people to this ingredient and of the nature of the MSG
production."
Sauces
Lea
& Perrins
Worcestershire
Sauce (GFCF) & Barbecue
Sauce and other products are
gluten-free.
If gluten (dairy or other products) are used, these ingredients will be
listed
on the label. Gluten-Free
InfoWeb Food List states what Lea & Perrins sent to them about
the
ingredients in their products. Remember, "whey" is a dairy
product.
You can also receive a
free recipe booklet with a coupon included.
Their other sauces might be fine. You will
need
to contact them to make sure.
Safeway BBQ Sauce
(Honey Mustard) I think it is dairy-free too. (Milk
products would be listed on the label if it had milk in it.)
Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue
&
Honey BBQ Sauce (We use this delicious Barbeque Sauce.)
• BUY
at Amazon.com
"Our product is 100%
gluten free. Sweet Baby Ray's does not
contain
protein from any of the following potential allergens: barley,
crustaceans,
eggs, fish, milk, oats, peanuts, rye, soybeans, tree nuts or
wheat.
The source of our modified food starch that is used in Sweet Baby Ray's
Barbecue
Sauce is corn. Also there are no dairy products or dairy product
derivatives
contained in Sweet Baby Ray's sauce."
If you are allergic to
tomato,
I've heard about Nomato.
Their sauce, ketchup, and barbecue sauce are carrot and beet
based. (The sauce is corn free.)
Seasoning Salts
Johnny's Fine Foods
The
Original
Johnny's Seasoning Salt has monosodium glutamate in it but it is
gluten
and dairy free.
Shortenings
The white vegetable shortening does not have dairy
products in them. Most (if not all) of the butter flavored
shortenings and butter
flavored non-stick sprays have a milk
protein and/or lactose in them.
Spectrum Palm Shortening
(The best vegetable shortening out there and it's good for you
too.
It is expellar pressed so it doesn't have added chemicals in the
shortening.)
Soups
Progresso Soups She said if it
contains gluten in the ingredients (e.g. barley, wheat, etc.), it will
be in the label in bold letters.
(I know the Vegetable Classics Soup Lentil, Traditional Soup Chicken
& Wild Rice, and Traditional Soup Chicken & Rice with
Vegetables are gluten-free and dairy-free.) You can serve these
with potatoes, extra vegetables, rice, etc. or put them with
gravy and make a thick soup.

Sunflower Seed Butter
Trader Joe's Sunflower Seed Butter (It is shared on equipment that uses
soy.)

a problem for some children and adults.
Ah!laska Organic

Albertson's Chocolate Syrup GFCF
Kroger Strawberry and Chocolate Syrup are gfcf
Nesquik (by Nestle)
Gluten-free - I talked to a representative (on 12/29/03) and she
said all of the syrups and powders are gluten-free.
Dairy-free (Casein-free) - The Chocolate, Strawberry syrups and
The Very Vanilla powder. Look for a U with no D on the label to verify if it is
dairy-free.
Tomato Products
Del Monte tomato products and ketchup are gluten-free.
I found this at Del
Monte
Answer for Gluten-free & Lactose-free Products but I called to
make
sure the ketchup is gluten-free.
Heinz
Gluten-free
Products
I called Hunts and the
representative
I talked to said that, all tomato products are gluten-free (except
diced tomatoes
mild green chile). The ketchup (or anything else with distilled
vinegar
in it may come from wheat or corn) and are not gluten-free.
Tuna Fish
The crackers, in the ready made packs contain
gluten/wheat.
NOTE: Make sure to call to verify if
the store brand tuna are still gluten-free.
Kroger tuna is probably gluten-free but call them to find out for sure.

Canned (From a list dated February 1, 2003.)
BumbleBee
Chicken of the Sea
Safeway Tuna, Chunk Light; Tuna
(Tongol) The list was received
via e-mail on December 26, 2003.
StarKist
Tuna
I react to
something in the broth for the above canned tunas. We now buy
all-natural tuna from these stores and they are so good to have "just
meat".
These do not have anything added (besides salt). They do have
salt free canned tuna too.
Whole Foods Tuna
Vanilla
Vinegar
The distilled vinegar is tripled distilled. However, some celiacs
do not get along with distilled vinegar. You will need to be the
judge if you can have distilled vinegar.
Heinz
Wine
Vinegar,
Distilled White Vinegar and Apple Cider Vinegar
Heinz uses corn grain when processing their vinegars (and
ketchup).
The "Apple Cider Flavored Vinegar" is not gluten-free.
Albertson's White Distilled Vinegar,
Apple Cider Vinegar, Balsamic
Vinegar, and Rice Vinegar List printed February 1, 2003
(Everything is triple distilled and gluten
free. The Rice Vinegar is rice based.)
Kroger Rice Vinegar
I would presume the White Distilled Vinegar and maybe others are
gluten-free.

gluten-free list but you can talk to a dietitian to ask about a
particular product.
