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.

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.

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

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
