Ortega diced green chili’s

[Fbmb]

Hi all! 

Ive been cooking with Ortega diced green chili’s (the fire roasted in the little cans), and I realized yesterday they don’t say “gluten free” on the can. I don’t see any ingredients that look suspicious. Since it’s the weekend I can’t call and ask. 

I’ve never had a problem with these. But I don’t know how great Ortega is about labeling. I just wondered if any of you use them without issues, or if you steer clear. Thanks!

I don't think they are gluten free. I shop at Winco and they put a little pink gluten free tag next to price tags, and I don't recall any Ortega products being gluten free. They aren't 100% accurate but when I googled Ortega's chili's Smart and Final came up and they also don't list any Ortega products as gluten free, even though they carry those Chili's.

They are safe. Very few ingredients and nothing that would be risky. Spicey items can be an issue for some until they heal but you say you have been using them with no problems so enjoy.

I have used them  Those grocery store "lists" are usually meant to get you to buy the store brand.  The tags on the shelves are only as accurate as the person labelling or re-stocking the shelf.  They may only put the little tags on things that state "gluten-free" or our the store brand.  Lots of things are naturally gluten-free,  so limiting your diet to what states "gluten-free" on the label can get expensive and boring.
