Food For Life Brown Rice Tortillas

I did a search and didn't see this anywhere on the board...I hope I'm not duplicate a topic. But I'm wondering...am I the only one having a hard time finding the FFL brown rice tortillas? There used to be 3 grocery stores in my area that carried them and all of them have been out for at least 2 months. I asked at WFM and the purchaser said he keeps ordering and they just don't come in. I've emailed FFL twice and gotten no response.

I know NC's a big state, but are you anywhere near the 4 Trader Joes that are out there? Their Brown Rice Tortillas are way better than Food for Life's.

I am not too far from one of them. In fact I was just there yesterday and didn't know they carried them so I didn't look. Do you happen to know if those tortillas are also vegan and soy-free like the ffl ones?

I'm not sure whether I can tell the difference between the Food4Life ones and Tjoe's.

I happen to have a TJoe's bag right here.

Ingred: brown rice flour, filtered water, tapioca flour, safflower oil, rice bran, vegetable gum (xathan cellulose), sea salt.

Made on equip shared w/ tree nuts & soy.

They're not in the refrig section @TJoe's btw.

Thanks,Tom. I see that you are also soy-free. Am I correct in assuming you've had no problem with these being made on the same equipment?

I did just call my tj's and they are out right now, but expect a shipment of them tonight.

Yes you are.

Tho I must admit that my soy reaction isn't severe for small amounts, as far as I know, and may require a build-up of soy-ings.

Haven't actually tested it since going soy-free.

Hope they work for you, Dawn.

I can't find them either. They used to be at whole foods and trader joes and I haven't found them at either.

The last time I got them, I special ordered them and even that took over a month.

Are you interested in making homemade tortillas? I have a good recipe, I am sure you could use brown rice flour.

Definitely! I made some last night and they tasted pretty good, but weren't tortilla-like (too dry/hard). I'd love the recipe. Thanks :-) And I'm actually not sold on brown rice as being the best, they're just what's been available. I really would love to make something using at least partial bean flour for the protein. I'm a gluten-free/soy-free vegan and add protein to staple foods where ever I can.

There have been alot of problems getting them stocked for the last 3-4 months. I don't know what the problem is though. We were told the same thing.....they were ordered and not received.

Well I am sure you could play with the recipe to suit your needs, if you have a problem, many heads are better than one. Go to the topic Baking and Cooking...then the thread posted on June 14th...scroll towards the bottom and you will see it listed. I never had a problem with them. Bette Hagman also has a recipe that uses milk powder and water that could prob b changed too. I have it if u need it, but see what u can do with this one. We like them better than wheat flour or corn and only my 19 yr old is on a gluten-free diet.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respectfully disagree. You cherry picked a small section from the page. I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on ...

      @Known1, I submitted the following comment along with my contact information: "I have noticed that many food companies voluntarily include information in their ingredient/allergen label section when the product is made in an environment where cross contamination with any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA may also be likely. Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
