Perdue gluten-free Breaded Chicken Breast Tenders - Possible Cc?

Does anyone eat this product regularly? Recently?

Open Original Shared Link

I've been cc'd somewhere & I'm trying to nail it down as to what product it was. We have a gluten-free household since my hubs is celiac also. We never eat out. We recently added this product to what we eat. At the same time, we added Udi's bread and Wild Riceworks Sea Salt & Black Sesame rice snack gluten free

I suspect the Perdue over the others because I feel if it were the Udi's bread others would have been reporting glutenings by now. As for the Wild Riceworks; I haven't eaten that in a while. Last week we had the Perdue twice & I'm having a reaction to something.

 

I have the dh rash so it's not just GI issues that are telling me I've been glutened. BUT I also learned a few months ago that I am one of those 8% who has a real reaction to even certified gluten-free oats so the possibility of cc from those oats has to be considered.

i had no issues with the perdue tenders (just the leap of faith lolz <they sat in my freezer for a month before i got enough nerve to try them) and i was pleasantly surprised at how yummy they were.  and easy, and i don't have to cook all of them at once, so good for when hubs is out of town and it's just (lazy) me :)  i hope you didn't have a reaction to them!  i was just putting them on the list of things that i can eat when i'm away from home without fooling with.....   :/  feel better, squirmy !

Thanks Arlene. Well, next time you have them I can tell you a nifty thing to do with them. It's sort of a twist on Chicken Cordon Bleu. Cook the tenders, then wrap them in deli ham & then wrap in swiss cheese, put back in the oven or toaster oven & bake a few minutes until everything's hot & cheese is melted.

that does sound yumz ! :)  i've been venturing into 'packaged food world' very cautiously (as i'm eating my snack pack pudding!  i know, i know, i can make chocolate pudding from scratch....... <_<   i just wanted a little bit, though, not enough to make a whole recipe of it)  like you, i am TRYING to avoid the soy, so i was happy that the chicken didn't contain much - listed as 'less than 2%' soybean oil.  i'm pretty mad about french fries - what about JUST POTATOES !  and tater tots almost always have soy....  i tried the gluten-free freshetta pizza, didn't sit well, chucked the rest.  (no gluten reaction, my guts are just picky, picky) i have a california pizza kitchen frozen pizza in the freezer and i'm going to try that next.  our local kroger has expanded it's 'freak' food section (and moved everything around so i can't find a thing!) as they are preparing to sell WINE, so i will always have a plan B for dinner.  or should i say, plan W hahaha   :P  ;)

We do the snack packs of pudding too. These days we don't eat enough of it to make it ourselves. Used to be we would make a package & wipe the whole thing out in 1 sitting but not anymore.

Does your store carry Against The Grain frozen pizza? No soy oil -- no soy at all. We LOVE it! Oh, wine? What's that? i'll have to try that sometime.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I have tried the Perdue chicken tenders and while I can't say that I eat them regularly, they don't seem to affect me.

 

I don't eat Udi's (don't like the taste of some of the products and I think that I react to some of the other ingredients in their product line).

 

I looked up the Rice Works chips and while the ingredients seem to be gluten free, other people on this forum seem to have had reactions to these chips. Could the company have changed the recipe since you last ate them?

I called Udi's this morning. They of course have products containing cert. gluten-free oats such as cookies, granola bars etc... Because oats are not one of the top 8 allergens they do not clean the lines between runs of oat containing products and those not containing oats. So the lady I spoke to told me there is the possibility of cross contamination with cert. gluten-free oats.

 

Perdue says they have to get back to me after they get information from their research department. They did say they test every run & gluten-free products are made as the first runs of every day then the gluten products are made. 3rd shift cleans everything including air filters. She did not know the testing method they use nor if they have any products containing oats.

I'm sorry, I didn't see your post earlier when I posted. I don't think it's the Riceworks mainly because I had not eaten them in a couple weeks.

 

I am realizing now that it's more a problem with the oats reaction ie: oat cc. So I'm going to be on a learning journey again on how to protect myself only this time there are not the same rules as dealing with plain gluten as in celiac gluten. It's almost like the tables have been turned on me. Anything made in a completely gluten free facility is more suspect now than regular foods that are gluten-free such as Lay's original potato chips. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Brain fog is interfering.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
