Kettle Brand Chips, And All Of Their Products

SHOOT!

I just bought 3 bags of their chips, thinking that they were gluten-free because a few of their flavors state "NOT Gluten-free" under the ingredient list...SO, I assumed the ones that didn't say "Not gluten-free" were gluten-free...

To double-check, though, before consuming any, I went to their web site's FAQs page just now and found this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are your products Gluten Free?

Our products are processed on equipment shared with ingredients that contain small amounts of wheat. We do not recommend that people who are sensitive to wheat or gluten eat these products.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHOOT!

I have to give them away now....

At least I am visiting my bro and sis-in-law tomorrow and her 3 kids :-)

They'll be thrilled! :-)

THIS is one thing my family likes about my having had to share with them that I am 'a Celiac'...they keep getting the food I impulsively buy when I'm out shopping and hungry, in hopes I can actually eat it...

I will have to learn to stick to a 'known gluten-free' list, before they start expecting this to continue! :-)

OK...back to the kitchen...for the month-old plain-old corn chips to go with my rare Pepsi...

OK...I'm in heaven now....I fixed the problem...

Annie's Organic Black Bean refried beans are being nuked, Organic Muir Glen mild salsa and organic sour cream are waiting, along with my taste buds....and those old chips will be yummy and nutritious, too! :-)

Problem solved!

...though still mad at Kettle Brands for not listing 'manufactured on machines touching wheat products' on their bags...there should be a law...

Hi Gina,

Well, this may be celiac sacrilige, but my gluten-free son eats those Kettle Chips. I talked with the company and ONE of their flavored products in ONE size bag uses wheat. They run the plain chips before they run the flavored ones, and they wash the lines too. They told me they decided to take a hard-core stance on the gluten issue.

This is the same sort of decide-for-yourself dilemma we are faced with everytime we eat a product that is not produced in a gluten-free factory, which is most everything IMO.

I remember when i first saw the label too - I was shocked because we'd been eating them. Turns out that for about a year, only the large size bag had the gluten label. It took them a while to change over all the bags to contain the label.

So, judge for yourself, and eat at your own risk, lol.

Yeah, it may be a CYA thing. ;)

I actually did have a nasty reaction to Kettle Chips, maybe the one size bag and one type chip was the one I got...but it didn't look suspect in any way at all when I read the lable. I was pretty sick from them, though, so I'd advise eating Kettle Chips with caution. Which is too bad, cause they are really good!

"Are your products gluten free?

Faith,

My two cents would be to save your receipts when you buy stuff. I have never had a problem with returning something to a store as long as I haven't opened it and have the receipt. I have asked at many markets (from mom and pops to chains) when I am not sure about a product I want to purchase if it is ok if I return the product with receipt unopened if I find that it contains something I cannot eat, and I have always been able to return stuff. gluten-free diet costs so much anyway, don't waste your money.

      @Healthierbody2026, so you say here that you were diagnosed a few years back but in your first post you say you were recently diagnosed. I am totally confused!

      Test interpretations

      As has been pointed out previously, it is not unusual to have mixed tTG and EMA results with active celiac disease. While awaiting your biopsy appointment you could request celiac genetic risk testing. If you don't carry the HLA-DQ2 and/or DQ8 genes, your lifetime risk for celiac disease is < 1%. The celiac risk genes are present in close to 100% of celiac...

      Prospective CRISPR research

      Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether Theresa Flores of Stanford University has been able to fund her research proposal to use CRISPR technology to directly alter our celiac genetic DNA coding? I know there's been a lot published on using CRISPR to alter wheat so it's "less" aggravating. But no one seems to indicate that wheat would then...

      @Healthierbody2026, Welcome to the forum. We would like some clarification as to whether you have been diagnosed with NCGS or Celiac disease. Many people who have gastrointestinal symptoms are diagnosed with IBD or NCGS without proper investigation into Celiac disease. This can delay a correct diagnosis for as long as ten years or longer.

      Hi all,  I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether Theresa Flores of Stanford University has been able to fund her research proposal to use CRISPR technology to directly alter our celiac genetic DNA coding?  I know there's been a lot published on using CRISPR to alter wheat so it's "less" aggravating.  But no one seems to indicate that wheat would then have to be grown in a vacuum.  My understanding is that wheat can self cross pollinate/contaminate if it's grown downwind from other strains of wheat.  Go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong.   Anyway, what I'd really like to know is, what's up with research to directly alter celiac DNA coding?  Is Flores the only person out there proposing this?  Has the NIH funded a CRISPR study for us?   Many thanks, Charlotte

      @Healthierbody2026, Welcome to the forum.  We would like some clarification as to whether you have been diagnosed with NCGS or Celiac disease.  Many people who have gastrointestinal symptoms are diagnosed with IBD or NCGS without proper investigation into Celiac disease.  This can delay a correct diagnosis for as long as ten years or longer.  During that time, health problems related to Celiac disease that occur outside of the gastrointestinal system can show up.  One of those health problems is Diabetes.   I got misdiagnosed with IBD because there was no such thing as NCGS at that time.  I was told I was prediabetic for several years.  I became diabetic and had a cascade of health problems for more than ten years after until I was properly diagnosed with Celiac disease.   Did you have a DNA test to see if you carry any of the genes necessary to develop Celiac disease?  Did you have blood tests for anti-gluten antibodies?  Did you have an endoscopy?  Did biopsy samples show intestinal damage consistent with Celiac disease?  If not... I suggest you have a discussion with your doctor about proper testing for Celiac disease and whether you've had them done.  To diagnose NCGS, the doctor has to first rule out Celiac disease.   @trents could you link that article on antibody tests for Celiac?  Thanks!

      A few starter suggestions for gluten-free living: - one of the other responses to you mentioned the Forums. On any page of this website, there is a blue banner near the top of the page with some menu choices. The menu choice "Forums" drops down and gives a selection. One Forum topic is "Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications", another is "Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips". Others relate to Restaurants, Traveling, and so on. Spend some time surfing through them. - Arguably, the single best food in a gluten-free diet is quinoa. Costco sells a house brand that appears to be gluten-free at a pretty good price. Costco can be a source of some other gluten-free foods. Another resource I found after going gluten-free is AzureStandard.com. I buy a lot of gluten-free foods there. I checked just now and it looks like they have some service to parts of Alabama. - Learn to read food labels carefully and learn what to look for. Don't be shy about calling customer service. - If you can, dedicate your home to be gluten-free. Sort the foodstuffs (any thing that could end up in your mouth) you currently own into "safe" and "not safe". Give away the "not safe". Go through your kitchen systematically and clean everything once. It's like moving into a new apartment of questionable cleanliness. Once it's clean, though, you don't have to worry so much about it. - If you live in a "mixed" household (like mine), start calling gluten-containing foods "poop". Keep as much separate as you reasonably can. While we were transitioning to a safer kitchen overall, we would designate one set of dishes to be safe (and the other for poop). Our kitchen is mostly safe now and we don't segregate dishes anymore. However, when the coprophages want to eat some poop they eat it on the porch and rinse their dishes immediately afterwards. - I don't know the gluten limit for NCGS, but for celiac it is quite low: 20 ppm (parts per million) is the official standard, but some people seem to be sensitive even at that level. One, or maybe a few, breadcrumbs are supposedly enough to trigger symptoms. I haven't tried the experiment myself though. - My transition to gluten-free living has had some silver linings. My health is better. But it has also been a period of personal growth as I've taken up cooking in a serious way. I hope this helps to address your question
