Anyone trust Smithfield brand pork?

I have become so cautious about almost every food I eat. I bought a Smithfield pork loin (slow roasted golden rotisserie flavor) and it says gluten free but not certified. 

Was curious if anyone has eaten these and had no symptoms? 

I called them and asked what their gluten free protocols were and the lady seemed like she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked if it was made on a dedicated line or if they test for gluten and she seems confused which made me lose a little faith in the company. She did state that they "comply with everything to use gluten free labeling".. But that doesn't mean much because there are plenty of things that say gluten free that aren't.

It should be safe (some celiacs with DH must be extra strict).    The USDA does a good job in making sure all agricultural and meat/fish products comply with the FDA guidelines.  So, you can be assured that it “meats” the 20 ppm criteria.  ? I based this on the Walmart website that showed the ingredients and that it is labeled gluten free.

I do not purchase these flavored pork loins because I have an intolerance to garlic and onion which is in so many things.  I just buy the plain ones and season with herbs and salt and pepper and grill it (or bake during winter).  

Enjoy it.  

P.S. Consider a subscription (about the price of Hulu or other online subscriptions) to the Gluten Free Watchdog.  It is like a Consumer Reports.  Instead of testing washing machines, the GFW tests products that can be labeled gluten-free or not (like a bottle of Tylenol).  The reality is very few products fail.  Like 98 or 99% meet label requirements.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
