I Think Ian's Changed It's Nugget Recipe

Not that we need another thread on Ian's chicken nuggets, but I just thought I'd share the news. I decided to splurge on some gluten-free and DF junk food last night and so my dinner involved some Ian's nuggets. Well, they're now called chicken cutletts, and I'm pretty sure they changed the recipe in addition to changing the shape of them. Still free of all those allergens...and Yum! (Pair them with Alexia fries and them some sorbet with Ahlaska chocolate syrup for desert and yeah - you don't need gluten or dairy for some quick, convenient, yummy junk food :)

Hmmm. Maybe I got the Canadian version. I did notice there was french writing all over the box. lol. I bought them in California though. I much prefer the cutletts to the nuggetts. They were awesome.

If it seems like actual chicken, I will try the cutletts. I really hated the nuggets.

Me too. the nuggets seem to be like, ground up and compressed. The fishsticks however, I swear by.

My dd also did not like the nuggets, but loves the fish sticks.

At the price they are, I'll stick to making my own nuggets/tenders and just buying the fish once in awhile.

the latest box of Ian's Allergen free chicken nuggets I bought for my daughter are definitely different, they are a more defined shape and much better texture. My daughter scarfed them down two nights in a row cos she said they were sooooo yummy. I tried one and it wasn't bad! I hated them before. Anyway, this box didn't say cutlets or anything, looks exactly the same as the old ones, but inside it's a totally different story!

I really like the fish sticks too.

oh, and have you seen the chicken nuggets meal? it's got corn, mashed potatoes AND a piece of chocolate cake (the cake is from Cherrybrook farms)

I was just in my grocery store yesterday where I usually get my Ian's. Thank goodness I looked at the label as I noticed it did not say gluten-free on the front. On the ingred list it said wheat. So be very careful which Ian's you get.

yes, you have to get the one that says Allergen Free recipe on the front, it also is clearly labeled gluten-free

I noticed the change with the chicken nuggets, too. My daughter liked them before but likes them even better now. It's more of a round shape now. The box is exactly the same, though...I'd love to find the cutlets...

This is so funny, I actually thought about posting a thread about this a couple of months ago. I noticed a change in the texture of Ian's chicken nuggets as well. I got worried, despite the "Allergen-Free" label on the front of the box, that somehow they had put the regular ones in an "Allergen-Free" box by mistake. That probably isn't possible but being gluten-free will make you a bit paranoid. :)

Anyways, I've eaten a few boxes since then, with no ill effects. I agree they are better than the old recipe. I tried the Welshire "dinosaur" shaped ones and they are okay, though I think I like Ian's a bit better.

I have also paired them with Alexa fries and sorbet for dessert!

LOL I thought the same thing when I was eating them! I kept going back to my freezer to check the box and make sure they were safe!

I thought the same exact thing and was terrified that I was eating gluten-filled nuggets. I immediately emailed the company and they assured me that the gluten-free nuggets were reformulated to a "neater" more defined shape! They did not mention a change in the ingredients, but I do agree they taste so much better!

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
