"clear Value" Product Line At Winn-Dixie...gluten-free?

I've been buying Clear Value sausage and there is no phone number on their food packaging so I can't call them. This mysterious company also has no website. What gives? Every time I eat the sausage, I feel fatigued and foggy brained. I'd like confirmation that their foods are cross contaminated... I emailed Winn-Dixie, which is the store that carries this line, and am waiting for a response. Anyone else get sick eating Clear Value sausage?

 

And why no phone number / website on this company???

After I made this post I got to thinking again, because I was irritated about the whole thing. I did finally manage to dig up a phone number. Clear Value is owned by TopCo foods, so I found their number and called to talk to them. They said that allergen exposure may vary from batch to batch, and that I needed 3 codes to even ask about the particular product in question: bar code number, expiration date, and lot number. And they don't have an allergen list for their foods at all. I told the lady on the phone that I was throwing my hands up in surrender, and that I give up, and that I would be buying a different brand from now on.

 

But what brand of sausage is going to be economical and gluten-free? Probably nothing...

Jennie-O products have been fine for me.  Their website is clear on their gluten status.  I like their sweet Italian turkey sausage and their breakfast sausages.  For me, their hot Italian sausage is WAY too spicy, but that's just my personal taste. Their website is  Open Original Shared Link  Take a look, see what you think.

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!

      hi, how are u now? any answers?
    • mermaidluver22
      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
