Canned chicken ingredients causing issues

[Felipe]

Hi everyone, just wanted to pick your brain about the following ingredients...

cooked chicken breast with rib meat, water, contains less than 2% of the following: modified food starch, salt, sodium phosphates.

I have ate two cans of the Brookdale's canned chicken and the first time I thought perhaps was something else, but today I experience symptoms again and I am wondering if perhaps is the modified food starch thing? I know it does not say Gluten free but I I thought perhaps it was ok to have these type of fast chicken serving...

Anyhow, I will stop having it but want to understand the reason, thank you much! 🖖

Those ingredients are gluten-free. These lists might be helpful:

As a celiac who can't even handle the smallest traces of gluten I avoid everything with modified starch unless it's specified it's made from corn, tapioca or rice. I've even reacted to maltitol with 0,002% gluten.
You don't know what that starch is made from. They can modify it any way they want, but if it's a couple of molecules left you might react to it if you're like me. Glucose syrup, maltodextrin and dextrose are other sneaky ingredients.

I just want to point out that the ingredients you mentioned, if made in the USA, would be gluten-free, including maltitol, which is made from corn. I am not sure how maltitol could test positive for gluten, and I would not call any of these ingredients "sneaky," as they are gluten-free.

Well... Decided to give it a try once again a few hours ago, this time without anything else, just the chicken to see if perhaps was some other ingredient and got same painful results... Evil chicken! 😄

You're lucky in the US. Here, dextrose and all those ingredients can be made from anything. I've seen labels with "(wheat)" written after those those ingredients. Some doesn't mention anything. If all of those ingredients are all made from corn in the US, it makes it a lot easier.
