Weis Markets Olive Oil Cooking Spray

[Blake Anderson]

Hi all! This is my first post. I’ve recently moved into a new neighborhood and adjusting to the local markets. I’ve recently purchased Weis Markets Olive Oil Cooking Spray and I seem to be having some adverse reactions and “gluten pains and bathroom trips”. I’m normally very good at identifying if a new product is gluten-free or not... but this one is stumping me. The ingredients read gluten free, although it contains soy and doesn’t state it’s gluten free. I am aware that soy is sometimes/most of the time processed on equipment shared with wheat. Long story short.. has anyone else experienced any issues with products like this?

No.  The ingredients are gluten free, but.....think about it.  Do they make a spray oil that also contains flour commonly used for bakery items (cookie sheets and bundt pans)?  Cross contact during manufacturing could be an issue.  The other problem?  A store brand.  Hard to tract down the manufacturer to call and ask.  

I just use California Grown olive oil.  Real.  Unadulterated (unlike the stuff from Italy which had a huge counterfeit issue a few years ago).  Plus, I can talk to the company/grower.   I also use plain old Lard too.  

Know that I am pretty conservative.  I like feeling well.  I like seeing “normal” on my biopsy lab report!

Huh! Hadn’t thought about that. I will look into that. I wouldn’t consider myself new to the gluten-free stage. I was diagnosed with celiac at 19yo and now am 23. But I know there are plenty of things I just don’t know yet! Thanks for the info.
