Edy's and Dryer's ice cream cross-contamination


BDD

Recommended Posts

I am diagnosed Celiac and am really new to the gluten-free diet. I am confused about cross-contamination. I wanted to get opinions on Edy’s/Dryer’s ice cream (They are the same brand. They just have different names depending on where you live). I emailed Edy’s/Dryer’s and asked about gluten. They said that it’s usually only the obvious flavors that contain gluten, but sometimes it can be in other ingredients. They use shared lines and make no claims about how well they might clean them between flavors (if they do). They emailed me a list of flavors and indicated only two they felt they could claim are gluten-free: slow churned french silk and slow churned neopolatin. I do not care for those flavors. The obvious ones with gluten (cookies, etc.) had a definite for containing gluten. The majority of the flavors on the list were listed as TBD: “We currently cannot make any claims about gluten-free for this product.” The flavors I am interested in eating are the cup size version of slow churned mint chocolate chip and the cup size version of grand peanut butter cup. I did not see any ingredients in those two that looked like they might contain gluten. Would you eat the products or would you be worried about cross-contamination? I don’t know how picky I need to be about cross-contamination. Thank you.

Why?  I like ice cream that contains the fewest ingrediants.  Just my thing.  Hubby and kid consume most of it.   Not sure if this helps you.

Thank you for your reply, but that doesn't really help me. I am interested to find out if anyone eats Edy's/Dryers specifically. Thank you again for your reply though.

I eat The Edys without obvious gluten ingredients.   A lot of companies will not claim gluten-free any longer if they don't test for gluten.

I would call and talk to them. Sometimes you get better response from them if you do.  You could also always add peanut butter cups/mint flavoring and chocolate chips to the vanilla slow churn if you are that concerned.

I gave up eating ice cream. I had been eating Blue Bunny All Natural Vanilla for YEARS without any problems but one batch was contaminated from someone not cleaning the line well enough. From now on unless I find certified gluten-free ice cream I will do without. And believe me, I loved my ice cream! I was addicted. It took a while to get over the cravings, but I am now 100% sugar free and don't miss ice cream at all.

Drastic? Yes. But I won't take another chance.

Thanks everyone! That gives me a lot to think about.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
