Spiral Hams?


LilyR

Recommended Posts

Hi there.  I just edited this post to include all spiral hams.  I thought that might be easier.  I just saw some info online about Carando and also Smithfield hams.  Has anyone had either with good luck?  Is there any spiral ham you have eaten that you are happy with? 

Smithfield Ham - apparently doesn't have a gluten-free list, but some outside websites (not Smithfield themselves) list some supposed gluten-free flavors such as brown sugar spiral ham and the all natural spiral ham.  I just wonder how safe they are if the website does not mention gluten at all??

 

Carando Ham:

Has anyone eaten this brand of spiral ham and had good luck with it? Obviously just to not use any glaze packet it may come with if that perhaps might contain gluten, or do you think there could be cross contamination? I will have to go to the store and see if the one on sale (or any they have) say Gluten Free on them or not. Their email to me confuses me....I am not sure if what they are saying is some of their hams might say gluten-free right on the label and some might not?   This is what they emailed me - 

"Thank you for taking the time and interest to inquire about the ingredients in our Carando Ham's. We place a special value on questions such as yours.  A list of ingredients appears on every package label; ingredients are listed in descending order of amount used.  Of course, no ingredient can be used in any amount without prior approval of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA.)
 
You asked us if the Carando Ham's contain gluten?
 
While we may not add gluten (wheat, oats, barley or rye) to our product, we do receive ingredients from outside suppliers. Based on information and assurances that we have obtained from these suppliers, the Carando Ham is made with ingredients that do not contain gluten. 
 
We recommend that you base your decision on the ingredient statements of both the ham and the glaze packet, should you use it, and your personal experience.  If there is no “gluten free” claim on our label and you want to be conservative, assume that a source of gluten may be present. Please continue to read the ingredient statements carefully at the time you purchase the product because formulations can change at any time
 
Thank you again for your interest and the compliment you pay us by using our products.  Quality and consumer satisfaction are important to us.  We hope that you will continue to enjoy our products.
Sincerely,
Leslie Rich
Consumer Affairs"

I see my local Price Chopper is selling Hormel Cure 81 Spiral Hams this week and their website shows that the Cure 81 are gluten-free.  I emailed them and they confirmed the spiral Cure 81 as being gluten-free.  So if anyone is looking for ham for Easter, this seems to be a safe one. Here is their list of all their gluten-free items and below that link is the email they sent to me -

Check out Jones Dairy. I've never had it but I've been giving it thought:

Our commitment to customers who live a gluten-free lifestyle has gone beyond providing products that are safe to eat to becoming a part of the gluten-free community. Examples include the following:

It's not letting me post all the info. They have several gluten-free certifications. Check out the link above. I'd feel safe ordering it.

Costco has a gluten free spiral ham.  It is good and the price is right (this from a previous Honey Baked Girl).  Save the bone and leftover pieces of meat for 15 bean soup!  Yum!

Thanks.  I do get their precooked breakfast sausage and have had good luck with those.  I'll keep them in mind for ham. 

I ended up getting the Hormel 81 Cure spiral ham that was on sale at a local store.  Hope it's good!

Thanks for the info. I wish we had a Costco in town.  I always hear people mention finding good things there.  I love making soup from ham bones.  I make stewed beans usually (and then can also make an Italian soup from the stewed beans or eat them as is).  I made split pea in the past too, but usually go for the stewed beans.  I'll have to look up online to see what a 15 bean soup is like.  I love most soups.

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do...maybe.) But, generally in the clinical setting, coming off prednisone requires a taper, as suddenly quitting can cause problems. Anyway, good for you!

      I am 58 years old and was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease based on an EGD showing lymphocytic infiltrates and blunted villi in my duodenum. Lab work shows a severe IgA deficiency. Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency?  I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should get more information regarding the consequences of not having IgA from an expert. I live in Atlanta and surprisingly I have yet to find an immunologist that specializes in this area. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who I con consult with?  I’m sure that telemedicine consults can easily be accomplished these days if I can’t find a local...

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
