Amy's Products


Guest Viola

Recommended Posts

I've seen lots of Amy's products in the stores, but none of them say gluten free on the boxes. And I'm not sure about all the ingredients. Quite a few of the mac and cheese boxes have a rabbit on the front of the box. Are these ones gluten free? Does anyone out there use the Amy's prducts much? I'm really interested in the mac and cheese ones if they are safe.

Why can't companies put gluten-free on them and make it simpler?

The Amy's Mac and Cheese that is safe says it right on the box...same with all that brands products that are gluten free.

Amy's does have a non gluten free version as well so just look for the gluten free on the box.

Is their gluten free pasta made from rice? The one I read didn't have wheat in it, but it wasn't rice either. And I haven't found any with gluten free on it. I wonder if that is just down in the U.S. and not in Canada.

Hi Viola - the one with the bunny is Annie's, not Amy's. Annie's does have one gluten free mac and cheese so far - they just released it a few months back. It clearly says on the front that it is gluten free - it's a rice pasta, though not quite as nice as Tinkyada. You have to prepare it just like Kraft Mac and Cheese.

Here's a picture of the Amy's mac and cheese (frozen) that is gluten free, rice pasta:

Oops ... thank you for straightening me out Stephanie! :huh: You are right of course, I got the two names mixed up. It is Annie's that I've seen. :lol: So, I should be looking in the freezer section for Amy's .. I will certainly do that next time I go into town. :rolleyes:

I TOTALLY get them confused when I'm writing about them (not when I see them, though). So I understand. I love the frozen Amy's mac and cheese - it's the only TV dinner I can eat...

unfortunately we don't have the Amy's frozen rice mac and cheese in Canada...as far as I know at least. I'm pretty sure it says on their website what products are available in Canada.

Guest Viola

Oh poop ... Not in Canada :( That's a bummer. I will have to check out their web site this evening. Have to open my phone lines now though, so gotta get off the computer.

Here I was hoping for that nice mac and cheese.

I love Amy's frozen food so much that every once and awhile I go to Bellingham, Washington to do a gluten free shop there. I have looked at so many stores around here but I guess the gluten free Amy's that I like just isn't available in Canada yet.

Shirley, the Save-On Foods near my place just started stocking Amy's gluten-free frozen pizzas. So, maybe they will be bringing in more of their product line soon.

Guest Viola

Oh, that sounds very promising. I just printed off their "contact" page so I can take it into our 'Save on Foods' when we go into town next. Sounds like it might just happen :P That would be wonderful.

We all like amy's. Her Asian stir fry is the best. Two packages along with extra broccoli and other veggies makes a meal for an entire family.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
