Kroger Ground Pork

Does anyone know if the Kroger brand of reduced fat ground pork is gluten free?  The package says it's enhanced with a "natural solution" but doesn't list those ingredients. I've contacted Kroger but haven't heard back yet and was hoping to use the package tonight.

I shop at Smith's which is a Kroger brand store and buy their ground meats all the time and have never had a problem with any of them. A natural solution shouldn't have gluten in it, I would eat it without worry. They certainly won't be getting back to you on a weekend.

Thanks, Adalaide.  In case you or anyone else is wondering, here is the response I got back from Kroger:

 

Thank you for contacting Customer Connect. My name is Chris and I received your email regarding our Reduced Fat Ground Pork. While this product has no gluten containing ingredients, we cannot guarantee any food to be truly 'gluten free' as we do not have dedicated manufacturing facilities or product lines for gluten free foods. These facilities are thoroughly cleaned, however, between the production of differing products. We do have a wide array of products that are made with no gluten containing ingredients.

 The pork is injected with 12% Sodium Phosphate solution that acts as a moisturizer and dissipates to less than 2% when cooked. It is added in order to enhance the meat’s texture and flavor.

I hope that you find this information helpful. If I can be of further assistance, please simply respond to this email or call 1-800-576-4377.

Sounds good to me. Many companies that are not testing for gluten, will not officially call a food " gluten free".

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
