Making an account right now as I'm dealing with the reaction from this.  The Trader Joe's "Gluten Free" Battered Halibut is not gluten free, not in the slightest, I'm having a horrible reaction after just eating one of the pieces right now.

I thought Trader Joe's was a better company than normal grocery chains and wouldn't stoop to marketing dangerous food, but apparently not.

Stay safe out there

I note the ingredients include xanthan gum. This is found in many gluten-free processed foods and it causes problems for many of us celiacs.

It's of course possible that a batch was contaminated, but is it possible you could be reacting to another ingredient as @trents mentioned?

Trader Joe's recalled this product in October of 2020: https://www.today.com/food/trader-joe-s-has-recalled-over-4-400-pounds-frozen-t196281

It is back on the shelf again. I've got a call into the company to see if the issue was resolved.

Yes. It makes me wonder if back in 2020 they slapped the wrong label on a couple of runs that were the wheat batter version.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
