Boston Market Has gluten-free Items!

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I googled Boston Market Ingredients and got this website, which had all kind of helpful info: Open Original Shared Link. Here is what they said about Boston Market:

Boston Market Update: In the last issue of _The Sprue-nik Press_, we

listed an incorrect phone number for Boston Market. The correct

number is 1-800-365-7000. We are sorry for this error.

We also listed some gluten-free products available at Boston Market. We are

happy now to add some more items to the list, courtesy of TCCSSG

member Sara Brooks. The list of gluten-free products at Boston Market now

includes all of the following:

apples with cinnamon

baked beans

butternut squash

corn

cranberry relish

creamed spinach

fruit salad

jumpin' juice squares

mashed potatoes

new potatoes w/dill sauce

rotisserie chicken

rotisserie turkey

steamed vegetables

zucchini marinara

However, one must be cautious when eating there. Sara warns us, "...I

was mortified to see dough crusted meat pies prominently displayed in

the middle of the food trays. I was most concerned with the flakes of

the crust falling into the bins of foods we could eat. Also, the

pasta trays were near items we could eat. My worry was the pasta

could accidentally fall into the trays, and someone would simply spoon

it out, leaving the food contaminated. We would be none the wiser. I

also wondered about the gravy accidentally dripping into the

surrounding pans....What bothers me is they say all this food is gluten-free,

but do nothing to insure it's purity for us."

So exercise caution and good judgment when eating at Boston Market.

Look the food pans over carefully. Don't be afraid to ask to be

served from fresh containers of foods, to minimize the risk of

contamination.

one other word of caution...they put flavoring in their mashed potatoes (like peppery stuff). Personally, I don't care for it but for my celiac husband the spices are an irritant to him so he can't eat them even if they are gluten-free. I spoke to headquarters andthey told me it's up to the individual store if they want to use the spice or not in the mashed potatoes. Our Boston Market prefers to use it; they won't make the mashed potatoes plain for one batch.

Headquarters was kind of "fresh" to me (this was a few years ago) and I vowed never to buy from them again. (this was before 2003 when my husband went gluten-free, so it wasn't even over a gluten-free issue. The issue was "your mashed potatoes are too spicy" Their answer: "Tough."
