Cashews/Nuts from Simply Nature? at Aldis

[Celiacmanbill]

Does anyone know if these cashews are safe for celiac disease I know Nuts.com is safe but that cant be the only option? Its hard for me to order nuts with the shipping price limits in order for it to be free shipping if there are any cashews i can get in the stores that would be great I live in new hampshire there is teddy and riverqueen brand here aswell

They don't have allergen warnings on the label, so they would likely be naturally gluten-free.

is it a requirement to list wheat if they carried it?

[Scott Adams]

In the USA they would need to list wheat if it were a possible allergen, and it would appear at the end of the ingredients like this:

Allergens: Wheat, Milk, Shellfish, etc.

What if labels say, made on equipment that may have soy, wheat, nuts etc. should we assume they are gluten free if not an ingredient?

[Scott Adams]

This would be up to you to decide. Many celiacs avoid product with such labels, and especially those who are very sensitive. Sometimes companies that used shared equipment have additional info on their sites which discuss their cleaning procedures.

Hi, 

If it says it may contain Wheat then it DOES! I knows a lot of nuts are crossed contaminated with gluten. If you are not that sensitive you should be fine. I know I cannot have nuts from Nuts.com because they are crossed. If you eat nuts from Nuts.com I am assuming you could eat most nuts out there.

For clarification, "may contain wheat" does not mean that it does contain wheat. Many companies use CYA statements like this, and if you investigate further you may find out that a product likely doesn't contain wheat. But it is always best to simply find products that are labelled gluten-free, or at the very least don't say "may contain wheat."

Reached out to Kirkland brand about organic raw unsalted cashews. They are the ones that said made on same equipment with wheat and other allergens. Have yet to get a response.
