Yakitori Sauce....not Good!

[Zebra007]

Hi folks,  I bought a bottle of Yakitori sauce, on the label it says....

 

CHEF MYRONS, a light flavourful Teriyaki, Great on Poultry.

 

at the bottom of the label it clearly says GLUTEN FREE

 

 

So I made a casserole and was ill afterwards, never thought it was from this product until I looked at the ingredients list which states, contains wheat and soy!!!

 

This makes me so angry, they have falsely put Gluten Free on the label to entice buyers!

 

I couldn't understand why my stomach had bloated up like a balloon, I am now going to write to them and ask them what they have to say for themselves.

Sorry this happened to you. We always need to read ingredients. You may want to report this label issue to the FDA. Be sure to save the bottle if you are going to report it.

They say that they test below 10 ppm.

Hi, The reason I looked at the ingredients list (I initially did not think I had to because in bold capitals it says GLUTEN FREE on the front of the bottle) was because of how I felt after my meal....here is a reply from the company.

 

"Dear Mrs Black

The Yakitoti sauce is in fact Gluten Free. We will be happy to send you certificates of analyses & explanatory documentation on Monday as we are not working today.

FYI use of wheat in production process does not necessarily indicate gluten. All of the gluten has been destroyed & converted in a fermentation process. 

Any qualified food scientist, dietician or nutritionist will be able to explain this basic food science fact to you

More to come on Monday

Chef Myron"

 

I don't believe this to be true, because I had a bad reaction...also I don't think their response sounds very good either.

I would buy another brand next time, people who try to say they are safe on a technicality like that are not going to get my money.

FDA says there are currently no scientifically valid methods for measuring gluten in fermented foods (Compliance section, item 6). It may pass a (scientifically invalid) test for gluten, but there could be fragments of gluten after fermentation that the test does not detect.

Also, it doesn't take an intact gluten molecule to bother a celiac; deamidated gliadin peptides are fragments of gluten (gliadin) and we certainly make antibodies to them!
