Frozen Vegetables

[RoseMG]

Hello everyone,

Do any of you have problems with frozen veggies? Even if they are single ingredient, I am worried about cross contamination. Birds Eye, for example, told me they do not have dedicated lines for their vegetables vs their vegetable/pasta dishes so gluten contamination is a risk.

I am asymptomatic so your help is appreciated.

They use the same packaging machines for gluten and veggie lines. I got glutened by their steam fresh broccolli a few years back when they first started doing the sauced gluten lines instead of just veggies. The told me they used the same machines back then to bag and run both lines just on different days and hose them down between runs.

I have had luck with my local HEB frozen veggies, and pictsweet? I think was safe last time I tried them over a year ago. I honestly get great deals with local farmers at the markets, and also tend to stick to dehydrated veggies during winter months, reconstituting them in the boiling water of a stew/soup.

I have sikent Celiac as well and I eat Cascadian Farms Organic one ingredient peas, carrots and green beans. I have never had an abnormal ttiga or crp from eating them. My pill cam and colonoscopy were immaculate while eating them. However maybe I have a higher tollerence number say 10 parts not 2 parts. No way to know. I try to buy fresh more and wash/steam them.

Thank you!!

Wonder if frozen fruit poses the same risks... ugh.

I use Costco or Sams frozen broccoli or mixed vegetables with no issues.
