Gluten Free Pancakes At Aldi!

[Junior Chef]

We were at Aldi yesterday and noticed something new in the freezer section. They (or at least my store) are now carrying SimplyNature Gluten Free Pancakes. Needless to say, I was VERY excited about seeing these, since I'd never seen anything like this at Aldi before. A box has 12 silver dollar size pancakes, and I think they were about $2.89. So, we got some, and I couldn't wait to try them--pancakes aren't something we've had a lot of success making. There's instructions on the box for microwaving or heating in the oven. I microwaved mine and they were amazing. Maybe slightly rubbery, but once I put butter and syrup on them it was good.

Note: these aren't certified gluten free, but they at least didn't have any warnings about being processed with wheat.

Then we went to Walmart and found gluten-free chicken strips (Purdue, I think). Got home and saw the news about Pillsbury's gluten free stuff. I love days like that!

I shop at Aldi all the time.  I was wondering how safe the food is that says gluten free.  I generally don't have bad gi reactions, so I don't know.

Welcome to you both...Labeled Gluten Free is generally safe.  If you have a concern google an item...plus gluten-free....I did this transition a few years back so there were not as many labeled items...but the rule is still pretty simple...like this:

 

"Kraft Ranch Dressing Gluten" in your search engine....read other's posts and if doubt remains....contact the manufacturer -- i prefer email so i receive a written response...but phone works to.
