Earthly Choice Pasta


gilligan

Recommended Posts

I bought a bag of Earthly Choice gluten free quinoa pasta blend at Costcos.  It's marked as gluten free, but without being certified.  There's nothing unusual listed in the ingredients - looks okay - just wandering if anyone else has tried it.  Their website doesn't help much.

I bought these from my local Walmart and although the front of the package dose state gluten free and they go on this rant in the back "we really do search the globe for the best tasting healthy food for you and your family,  we traveled to Italy to find you the very best multi grain gluten free pasta,  if you or your family are gluten intolerant,  our pasta is a terrific option for your family " I   skipped a few lines but these are to me the most important and yes the ingredients don't list any wheat product.  However since reading every last word on a package label can be extremely daunting while grocery shopping especially if you have children and they go shopping with you,  my experience here after 3 hours at the grocery store and reading so many labels and kids are we done yet I wanna go I saw these noodles and yes I fairly quickly checked the label the gluten free badge in the front quickly scanned the ingredients and read there statement of champion noodles perfect for gluten intolerance.  I went home made some started eating there good I could fool people with these I started thinking did I grab the wrong pack so to take a better look at the package just in case there to good to be gluten free right so I read it all again then I noticed PROCESSED IN A FACILITY THAT USES WHEAT AND EGGS.    Wtf!   Seriously wtf!   With these gluten free perfect for gluten  intolerant people and there family's which implies there children as well then to read in a facility that processes wheat.  More then likely the reason it's not certified and basically is possibly subject to cross contamination on a unreliable basis,  basically it can't be trusted if your sensitive.   I am extremely highly disgusted with the lengths company's will go to try to promote a product to up sales even at the cost of someone's health,  to me the Labeling isn't so clear,  it shouldn't contain ranting and promoting of how it's good for a certain condition when it's actually introduced to contamination.  So idk take your chances if you like I'm ranting now just sick of wasting money, and misleading labels

There are a lot of people on this forum that eat foods made in shared facilities - but not on shared equipment - with no ill effects.  That's why I was wondering.  I'll email the company and ask about shared equipment.  They are very good!

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
