I just was reeading my box of Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins. There is a logo on the front that declares them a "proud sponsor to the Celiac Foundation". However, on the ingredient list in bog bold letters...Warning, produced on a line that also produces products conatining wheat! :blink::huh::blink::huh:

I tried Nut Thins and got sick. I haven't eaten them since, which is a shame cuz they are really good. Even though the ingredients are gluten-free, I think there's a cross contamination issue here.

I eat them all the time and have not gotten sick. And I react to quite a bit lately. I contacted them and was told they cleaned thouroghly.

Becky - That's encouraging. Maybe I'll give them a try again. It was over a year ago that I had them.

I believe they have butter/casein, but I do buy them for my daughter who eats gluten-free but can have casein.

I've been wondering about these too. They taste GREAT and I was eating them a lot for about a month. However, I felt awful the whole time and was definitely getting gluten somehow. I can't say for sure that it was the nut thins, but they are a likely candidate. I've stopped eating them and am finally starting to feel better.

The pecan ones are great, too, but I can't say anything about cc.

I tried them right after being diagnosed and felt awful after eating them. They taste great but I agree, there must be some cross contamination going on.

If you reread the box you'll see it says they're made in a FACILITY that has wheat, not on the same line. In fact, my memory is that they have their own line and possibly their own room.

i live and breathe off of these things and haven't ever had a problem and i've been finding that i'm super sensitive as well...i'd say give them another try...maybe you were having an off day before or there was a slight reaction from something else...i have days where i KNOW i haven't eaten anything wrong but my stomach acts up too...could've just been nature :)

Hi, I have been wondering about Nut-Thins lately too! I recently purchased quite a few boxes because they were on sale. Among the purchases were the new almond cheddar cheese crackers, which were in the special gluten free section of the store. After trying the crackers, I read the box and it DID NOT have the gluten free label anywhere on the box like the pecan and other boxes had. I became concerned and wrote to the company about 2 weeks ago and have yet to hear back. Also, their website does not say the crackers are gluten free, it only says they are proud sponsors of the Celiac Disease Foundation.

This is about the only processed food I consume. Mostly I eat fresh vegetables, fruits and some meat. Has anyone else noticed this?

I love the pecan crackers and take them with me whenever I go out as a safe backup but I do wonder now how safe they really are?

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?
