I can't find a lot of information about it. Is it safe? The only store near by is Aldi's. I was going to go there today and get some stuff. I would just like some input on if it's a trustworthy brand. I'm still going to read all the labels before I get anything anyways.

I haven’t had it but wouldn’t hesitate to eat it.  I know quite a few local Celiacs that get it

Um depends, they had a few issues with them over the years. I think it might be safe now but at one point they had malt from barley in some of their products and a few issues with contamination. I have not heard of anything this year though.

Some of their gluten-free Certified products use to have the voluntary statement "May contain Wheat"! That was a while ago though. I would use caution and read the labels.

Here is a response for why they pulled their cheesecake:

thanks so much for reaching out! At ALDI, we have an unwavering commitment to quality. As part of that commitment, we work closely with our suppliers to ensure that all ALDI exclusive brands meet or exceed the standards and quality of the national name brands, including our liveGfree line of products. All of our liveGfree products are certified by an approved organization that verifies the product’s levels of gluten are less than 10 parts per million. These organizations include the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) and Celiac Sprue Association (CSA). This particular product was certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization and while the amount of gluten in our liveGfree cheesecake was well below their requirements and FDA limits, it was made at a plant that also makes regular cheesecake. This is why we added the "may contain traces of wheat" statement on the packaging. However, we understand the confusion regarding this claim and have removed the product from our stores. Thanks again for contacting us,

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
