Need Gf Animal Crackers

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can purchase gluten-free animal crackers for my son? They are a pretty popular snack at daycare and served fairly regularly, like at least once a week. His daycare teacher said it breaks her heart when they are served because although Logan has an alternative gluten-free snack, and understands why he cannot eat what the others are eating, he watches forlornly as the other kids "play" together with their animals before eating them. That really is very sad to think about and envision.

We live in Ontario, Canada. Are there gluten-free animal crackers available out there? Do they cost an arm and a leg? (Although they might be worth a couple limbs for him to feel included instead of like he's on the outside looking in.)

Thanks.

Mi-Del makes an arrowroot Gluten Free Animal Cracker. They are VERY yummy!! They aren't terribly expensive. However, I am not sure if you can get them in Canada, I live in the U.S. I hope you are able to find them!! They are worth the money!

Best Wishes! -Jessica :D

Do you find the Mi-Del Animal Crackers in the local grocery stores or health food stores? I would love to buy them for my daughter.

Hey guys, just an FYI, I was searching for the Mi-Del website to get some crackers for my son, and this alert popped up saying that there is undeclared gluten in their cookies. Sorry to burst the bubble.

:unsure: Oops, I didn't notice the date on it, sorry. I was caught off guard by all the loud print and then when I went to the Mi-Del website it was out of service so I guess I thought the worst. I'll try them now. Thanks.

:lol:Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

After reading your posts, and learning there IS actually a commercially produced gluten free animal cracker, I got on the phone to local health food stores and tracked one down right in our little city that carries some! Woooo-hooooo!!!!

That was our big exciting news of the entire week!!!! I picked up the menu plan for the daycare next week, and sure enough, the morning snack on Thursday is scheduled to be animal crackers.........Only this time Logan gets to play too! I wish I could be there to watch him! (gee, I am easily pleased, aren't I?)

So again, thanks to everyone who replied. You've made a difference in the life of one little boy. (at least one) You're so cool!

My daughter and I both LOVE the Mi-del arrowroot animal crackers... She's in pre-k and it is nice to be able to provide her with a gluten-free snack that is like what her friends are having! :)

Mi-Del animal crackers are a staple in our house too. I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. They are available at larger size Sobies grocery stores and the larger size Loblaws and affiliates (Eg Zehrs) that have a health food section. They come in a small blue 8 oz bag with pictures of animal crackers on it and a big red sign on the bottom of the front that says Gluten Free.

Good Luck

If you like those cookies you'll be happy to know if you grind them up in the food processor they make the BEST gluten-free "graham cracker crumb" crust you'll ever taste. Yum yum! I've used them for a cheesecake crust and a lemon meringue pie crust. Enjoy!

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
