I e-mailed Annie's about their allergy precautions/procedures in manufacturing recently b/c of some concern over a dressing, and I thought I'd post their response below:

Allergen Statement

(Salad dressings, Marinades, BBQs, Worcestershire)

Our manufacturing facilities meet the highest standards of cleanliness and quality control protocols and adhere to Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, as defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The plants are inspected by the FDA. No peanuts or tree nuts or their by-products are present in the plants. No crustacean shellfish are present in the plants. The equipment is used to process products containing wheat, dairy, soy, egg and anchovies. The plants are certified organic.

Annie’s Naturals’ west coast facility is HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) approved. A plant that has a HACCP plan has met the FDA’s standards to ensure food safety and to eliminate cross-contamination of the eight major allergens (dairy, eggs, soybeans, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, fish, crustacean shellfish). For more information on HACCP, go to Open Original Shared Link.

At Annie’s Naturals’ east coast manufacturing facility, all lines are flushed and equipment is cleaned between productions. Standard production protocols are followed to eliminate cross-contamination.

If you have additional questions, call our customer service line at 800 434-1234 x313. For further information on Current Good Manufacturing Practices, go to www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/cfr110.html.

That's great info. I got very sick from one of the salad dressings. It could have been a cross contamination issue as I am very sensitive.

Thanks Jen, when I go out to eat at some place new, I always carry my Annies with me in case I can't order anything else. I've eated more salads than I every wanted to in the past six months... but that's ok.

What salad dressing did you all get sick from? I used to eat salads all the time with annie's dressing for lunch, but have been making larger dinners lately and now just eat leftovers for lunch. You all getting sick is scary to me b/c I am so sensitive too and eat other annie's stuff all the time. I wonder about their ketchup and mustards......

since not all of Annie's salad dressings are gluten free, just make sure each time you buy a bottle check for the gluten free label... They had an issue with the BBQ sauce a while back, not sure what it was, but some of the BBQ sauces that are usually labeled gluten free were not and when I called I couldn't get a straight answer... finally got a call back from someone that just told me to look for the bottles that are labeled gluten free... dunno, maybe they were temporarily trying a new recipe that they ended up using in the Organic line which is not gluten-free...

all that being said, I haven't had any problems with any of the salad dressings as long as they've been labeled gluten-free.

Annie's Roasted Red Pepper is my fav. with no problems. It would also be good to merimade some shrimp or scollups (how do you spell scollups :blink: )

I always check for the gluten-free label, but good reminder....I'm just wondering about jevan and what she got sick from....Jevan, did it say gluten-free? If it did and you still got sick, which one was it (that is, if you feel comfortable sharing)?

BTW - does this forum now re-write acronyms (sp?) - it spelled out gluten free for me when I only put the intials.....

lotus-- I wanted to know b/c I had some weird gluten-free responses from the Tuscan Italian (which is my favorite). It might have been some food intol to the veggies on my salad or fructose. Hard to tell! I don't necessarily think it was the dressing, but was curious if anyone else had ever experienced anything. I've never had a problem with the Raspberry. It may just be a richer/higher fat dressing than I used to eat, and that throws me over the edge sometimes....

That's a bummer! Have you tried the no fat yougurt and dill? It is pretty good I think!

That's what I hate the most about celiac disease......if you get sick, it could have been almost anything, whether that's cc from the companies or your home, hidden gluten, whatever.....Sorry that happened and hope you are feeling better.

The Annie's dressings in Canada don't say gluten-free on them. Just like the Thai Kitchen products too. I just have olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper on my salads for now.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
