I read about this elsewhere on this forum. I'll be danged if I can find the thread now though.

I finally found some at QFC. It seems they are the only store in the Seattle area that sells it. It was on sale too. Bought two bottles, one for the big fridge and one for daughter's little fridge.

It tasted just fine. Like butter. But it did leave an oddly sweet taste in my mouth that I can't get rid of.

I am concerned though because it said "natural flavors" on it. Would it have to list dairy if the natural flavors came from butter? It seems too good to be true.

It is dairy free--I contacted the company (I started the post you may be referring to). And it's also gluten-free and soy free. I started using it a week ago, and I love it! I've missed butter very much. It is rather sweet, but hey, I'll take what I can get! Enjoy!

I'm going to check this one out for sure! I've been using coconut oil for everything, and it would be nice to change it up! I can't have dairy, or soy either....thanks for finding out for us!

ps....does dairy free also mean casein free???

Yep, dairy free means casein free, though lactose free doesn't necessarily mean casein/dairy free. It can all be confusing!

I hope you find it in stores near you! I'm putting this stuff on everything this past week because I've missed butter so much!

WOOHOOO!! I was thinking it had to be casein free too, I just didn't want to get my hopes up in case I couldn't have it!! Thank you!! I will be on the hunt for it now!! :D

Due to the FDA food allergen labeling law, the 8 main allergens must be clearly listed. Dairy is one of them, and so it would have to be listed if it was included in the ingredients.

This is what they emailed me when I contacted them:

Thank you for your interest in our Smart Beat squeeze margarine. This

product does not contain dairy (casein), gluten or soy.

I found it at Kroger and have seen it in several of their stores. It's the only place I've ever seen it.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?
