Bulk Bins And Gluten Cc

[spirit-walk]

Do you guys generally avoid all bulk food bins in places like Whole Foods/Sprouts?

 

If so, what is a good company to get nuts/seeds like almonds, pecans, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds?

I do avoid bulk bins with scoops.  If I am desperate for nuts, I look for packages not processed in wheat facilities, in a pinch I will use gravity bins.   No matter where I get them from, I wash the nuts carefully in a colander before using them.  Usually, I order nuts from Azure Standard. .  Azure Standard can send UPS and also deliver to many states.  They have sent me fresh products and I keep them in the freezer or refrigerator to keep them fresh.  They have been excellent about getting products that I suggest.

No way I'd buy out of a bin.

I get quite a few from Trader Joes. Lots of people order from Nuts.com.

We never buy from bulk bins anymore and had a hard time finding nuts in our local stores that aren't produced in shared facilities with wheat. I finally found Wonderful brand raw almonds that seem to be okay, though they're usually out of stock at our local Stop & Shop. I buy a bunch of bags whenever I'm lucky enough to find them! We've also eaten their pistachios in shells with no problems. I have not contacted the company to verify their manufacturing processes, but the the "shared facilities" statement on their bags just says they're processed in a facility with other nuts, without mentioning wheat.

Has anyone had issues with Planters?  I eat them every day and have never had an issue.

We've been fine with Planters roasted/salted cashews.
