Are Trader Joe's gluten-free Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix and Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix safe for Celiacs?

My friend recently bought these products for us all to make, but I have been told that not all of Trader Joe's gluten free products are celiac safe. Has anyone had any issues with these mixes or have they been NIMA tested?

Depends on the sensitivity level of the individual celiac mostly but it is also true that at least one Trader Joe's gluten-free product that I know of was mislabeled as being gluten-free and it wasn't. It was a frozen battered fish item. You do understand, don't you, that to qualify to use the label "Gluten Free" isn't the same as saying there is no gluten present. It just means there is less than 20ppm of gluten which was set as a standard some years ago as being safe for celiacs. But even lesser amounts of gluten can cause reactions for those celiacs in the more sensitive spectrum of the population.

Thank you Trents. I will do a little more research. 
If you know of anyone who has NIMA tested these products, please send them my way!

They should be safe. Any products labelled "gluten-free" in the USA should be safe for celiacs. The only caveat might be a tiny number of newer products that use wheat starch that has been rendered gluten-free, but these products are not in that category.

Thank you very much!
