Frozen Unlabelled French Fries

We have a huge sack of frozen french fries in the fridge that are straight  cut. I'm wondering just how common it is to put gluten/wheat flour in french fries that are sold frozen at the store, they've been sitting there for a month because my whole family is gluten free and have no idea what to do with them. obviously i'm talking wheat flour actually in the ingredients, unlike CC from restaurant fryers..

They have no label?  I don't think it is common to put wheat on fries, but I never eat anything I don't know the ingredients of.  How did you buy them with no label?  Maybe the place you bought them could tell you the ingredients?

The cafeteria at the company I work for sells fries and although I wouldn't eat them becuase of the shared frier, I did ask to see the ingredient list becuase they looked like they had a extra cripy coating and sure enough the third ingredient was wheat flour.   Now these didn't look coated like a Checker's fry, they just didn't look like a nice smooth fry, they had a little extra something or crisp look to them.   Probably not a common practice, but personally I wouldn't eat anything I didn't have an ingredient list for.  It would be just my luck they would have used wheat on mine :)

I wouldn't eat them.  When in doubt, throw it out.  Or give to a friend.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
