Safe Ricotta

[lpellegr]

I know Sargento's ricotta is safe, but I can't find it around here (central NJ). Has anyone eaten Sorrento brand or Shop-Rite brand safely? I have Tinkyada lasagna noodles, now all I need is the cheese...

Read the labels and call the company. I haven't run into a ricotta that has gluten, but it doesn't mean one isn't out there.....

Where in Central NJ are you? I am in Union Twsp.

I have the same question about Ricotta cheese.....I didn't like the texture and taste of the Sargento mozzerella cheese. Polly-o is the best, I did email them, they are owned by Kraft and follow the same labeling procedures as Kraft, but Polly o is not made by Kraft themselves, so I have hesitation about it.

I spoke to Lioni (makes a fresh mozzerella) & they couldn't guarantee vinegar issues (as it is processed with vinegar).

Let us know if you find anything out

I'm in the Trenton area. I would love some fresh mozzarella, but I don't eat anything without a label on it, and all the ones with labels just say "vinegar". Still looking for gluten-free ricotta. I'll have to see if Wegman's or Whole Foods or Wild Oats has any that are safe, when I feel like doing all that investigating. I was hoping the community here would save me the work!

I was looking to see if shredded Crystal Farms cheese was gluten-free and I found this on their site.

Does your cheese contain gluten?

Our natural cheese does not contain gluten. Our natural cheese includes shredded and chunk cheese such as cheddar, colby, marble jack, etc. Our cream cheese, Ricotta and Parmesan cheese are also gluten free. Processed cheese may contain gluten.

Hope this helps!

I believe Polly-O ricotta cheese is gluten-free. It is made my Kraft and I'm pretty sure I don't remember seeing anything on there that identified wheat or gluten.
