Spiral Hams?

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.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
