Are these safe? No gluten ingredients, but apparently they are produced on shared lines. I've been using them and wonder if I should be. Thanks

Thanks mamaw...I use them too...The shared lines idea is bothering me though. Just not sure what to think.

When  one  limits  there  gluten-free  products  to only  products  made  in a dedicated  facility it  does  limit  the  gluten-free  choices. I do like  or  wish  they all  had  dedicated  machinery   /processing  but  that  just does not  happen.... there are  people  who are  super-sensitive who  MUST  do this....

I do agree...and really don't want to limit my food choices any more.

How do you know that the the chili powder is run on shared lines with some sort of flour/ gluten?

I don't know that it is for sure. The statements I've read from them indicate that shared lines are used and a thorough cleaning is done. I just wonder if it's enough. I'm not saying they aren't safe...I'm trying to find out if they are. They say they will list any gluten on the ingredient list...I'm just wondering if it's shared lines...is that ok? Do other people use them safely or have issues?

I feel it is important to note that post is five years old and information may have changed since then.  Honestly information 5 years old on manufacturing processes that pre-date the FDA gluten guidelines has more than likely changed.  I recommend writing the company to ask about any shared lines, etc so you can get updated information.

 

However, Mccormick is used by many on this forum and is considered to be safe, and they always label any gluten source on their products Open Original Shared Link.  I feel no need to investigate further, my cabinet is filled with Mccormick spices.

I hear you Laura. I've been using them. I was buying chili powder yesterday and decided to check to make sure. I couldn't come up with anything that said it was...but saw a couple of things about shared lines. The posts were old...true. I will contact McCormick. Thanks

I just found McCormick Gluten Free Chili mix at my local store last week.  It says it is a NEW item and gluten free specifically on the package and makes no mention of shared equipment.  They also make a new gluten free taco mix and brown gravy mix. 

 

I tried it a few days ago and it was great!  It was even a bit spicier than my old chili mix.  Didn't have any problems from it al all.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Colin I share your frustration. My coeliac disease was diagnosed in 2013 and it took some years for my  TTG levels to settle to normal levels in  blood tests.  I had to make a few significant changes at home to make sure our house was as gluten free as possible (I share a house with gluten eaters) but time and time again I found I was glutened (or nearly glutened whilst eating out  - like regular bread being served with a gluten-free meal ).  Even eating in chains that Coeliac UK were recommending as safe for coeliacs.  So I gave up eating in restaurants for a while.  My blood tests normalised.  But here's the thing:  the lowest my TTG readings ever got to were 4.5 (10  and under being my local lab's normal levels) and now that I am eating out again more regularly, they've gone up to 10 again.  I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out.  Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset.  My next coeliac blood review is in September and I mean to give up eating out a few months before to see if that helps my blood results get back on track. It seems to me that there are few restaurants which really 'get it' - and a lot of restaurants that don't 'get it' at all.  I've found one restaurant in Somerset and a hotel in East Sussex where they really know what they are doing.    The restaurant in Somerset hardly uses flour in any of their dishes; the hotel in East Sussex takes in trainees from the local college, so they are teaching best standards.   But it has taken a lot of searching and trial and effort on my part to find these two places.  There are certainly others in the UK, but it seems to me the only real way to find them is trial and error, or perhaps from the personal recommendation of other strict coeliacs (Incidentally, my coeliac hairdresser tells me that if a Michelin star restaurant has to have a separate food preparation so she has never been glutened in one - I can't say I've ever eaten in one!) For the rest, I think we just have to accept that gluten may be in the air in kitchens, if not on the surfaces, and there will always be some level of risk wherever one dines, unless the restaurant cooks exclusively gluten free dishes.

      Hopefully @Cristiana will see this question, as she also lives in the UK.

      @Theresa2407, My Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFD), now called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), cleared up, resolved, after supplementing with Thiamine B1 and Riboflavin B2.  "Specifically, higher intakes of vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 were negatively associated with the risk of NAFLD. Consequently, providing adequate levels of Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2 in the daily diets of postmenopausal women could potentially serve as a preventive measure against NAFLD."

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community @colinukcoeliac! I am in the USA but I don't think it is any different here in my experience. In some large cities there are dedicated gluten free restaurants where only gluten free ingredients are found. However, there are a growing number of mainstream eatery chains that advertise gluten free menu items but they are likely cooked and prepared along with gluten containing foods. They are just not set up to offer a dedicated gluten free cooking, preparation and handling environment. There simply isn't space for it and it would not be cost effective. And I think you probably realize that restaurants operate on a thin margin of profit. As the food industry has become more aware of celiac disease and the issue of cross contamination I have noticed that some eateries that used to offer "gluten free" menu items not have changed their terminology to "low gluten" to reflect the possibility of cross contamination.  I would have to say that I appreciate the openness and honesty of the response you got from your email inquiry. It also needs to be said that the degree of cross contamination happening in that eatery may still allow the food they advertise as gluten free to meet the regulatory standards of gluten free advertising which, in the USA is not more than 20ppm of gluten. And that is acceptable for most celiacs and those who are gluten sensitive. Perhaps you might suggest to the eatery that they add a disclaimer about cross contamination to the menu itself.
