Amy's Pasta Sauce

[bluelotus]

Hi,

I know some of you have had problems with Amy's products and that they have tested some of the gluten-free products in the past only to, indeed, find gluten. Knowing this, I still tried their "gluten free" pasta sauce last night and have felt horrible since (mostly fatigue, irritability, and the typical tummy stuff). I emailed them last night to let them know, but I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the sauce? If I remember correctly, most of the past problems for some were with their frozen meals.

Any input is appreciated.

I have had problems with Amy's salsa and yes most of their frozen stuff is not gluten-free. I emailed Ragu and asked if their sauces were gluten-free and they said they were but to check the ingredients often as they could change. So that might be an option.

After getting sick from their frozen stuff (it's a shame because the mac & cheese is really good!), I don't trust them.

I make my own pasta sauce with 1 can sauce, 1 can crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 a chopped onion, 3 cloves garlic, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Saute the onion & garlic in olive oil until soft, add everything else, and simmer about 45 mins. Sometimes I throw a little balsamic in there, also. It freezes well.

Sorry you feel crappy

Feel better soon!

Wow, thanks for the recipe, sounds great! I try to make almost everything from scratch, but once in a while, I am limited on time and have to use a "trust-worthy" brand......guess I should have known better based on others' problems. They did email me back and will be calling me on my cell eventually. They asked if I had saved any of the sauce (of course not, I wanted it out of my house, I was so mad).....I hope they can use info on the jar to find and test another sample from the batch. I'll keep you all posted.

For lunch today I had one of their frozen mexican things. I don't eat their stuff everyday. More like once or twice a month. I have not had any problems but know of many people who do.

I eat their Family Marinara and Tomato Basil sauce with pasta and have had no problems.

You can make an extra large batch of sauce when you *do* cook from scratch and freeze (even just in a ziploc bag). My italian MIL does this. :-)

Good idea, Tiffany. I should make a huge batch this weekend.

They (Amy's) called and said that they submitted samples for testing, so I'll keep you all posted.

I eat Amy's Family Marinara and Tomato Basil Sauces on my Tinkyada pasta with no problems. I do however have problems with the Classico sauces which are all supposed to be gluten-free.
