Bell & Evans Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

I bought the Bell & Evans Chicken Nuggets at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago and had been a little hesitant to try them because I was afraid I would be disappointed. I wasn't starving when I got home from work tonight so I figured I'd make them and if they sucked I could just chuck them and make something else.

WOW.... If I knew how delicious these were I think I'd have bought a whole case!!!! Exceeded my expectations doesn't begin to say it. Not only does it taste exactly like I remember a chicken nugget tasting but they are made with real, juicy white meat so it's not a nasty, fatty nugget.

I would truly buy and eat these even if I didn't have celiac!!!

I apologize in advance to anyone that lives in my area and can't find them at the White Plains, Whole Foods because I plan on buying every box! :P

I just had to add to this post after trying the Bell & Evans gluten free nuggets last night. It was a good thing I was starving, cause I ate the entire box!!! :D I was so pleasantly surprised by these. Made my night! I have tried Ian's gluten-free nuggets before and thought they were absolutely disgusting. I got the Bell & Evans ones at my local Whole Foods. Glad I bought two boxes!!!

Is corn one of the ingredients? If any of you still have a box of these, would you mind looking.

Thanks

Oh happy day! I'm sure my new WF store opening in late Sept. will carry them then. When I asked when the gluten-free beer was coming, they said not until the new location opens. Then the guy went on to explain they are going to have a larger gluten free selection that they do now!

I was so excited after reading about these, I went to my Whole Foods (Berkeley, CA) to find them and... Sadness, they have no wheat-free chicken nuggets. I will have to request they order them next time I go in, and request all the local gluten-free people I know to do the same!

I saw these the other day at my local Whole Foods, but I didn't buy them because the box said they are processed in a facility with wheat... I'm really sensitive and can't risk a reaction, has anyone else reacted adversely to these?

Do you know if the chicken nuggets have soy in them?

I think it says on their website it says these are made on a completely seperate line than their regular products so you should be ok. I haven't had any reaction.

I had these for the first time this weekend and oh my gosh are they good! My sister and I sat there eating them together (we both have celiac disease) and kept saying "wow" and "yum" throughout the meal! :)

Really they are delicious. Pricey though...$6.50 a box at my Whole Foods...

But they are worth it!

At first I was kinda thought they were a bit pricey, but then I realized I usually get 2 meals out of a box, so I figure that is only like $3.25 per serving. :)

That is what I am thinking too. Come to think of it, I think Bell & Evans regular chicken nuggets are not that much less in price...

They are just a high-quality product with a high quality price! If I can have something taste so good and is safe to eat, then the price is worth it!

I need to go buy more as I only bought two boxes as a trial run...

I agree with the positive reviews. I was so excited that my local WF got them in- I had been checking every week and all of a sudden there they were- I was several feet away but I started running towards the freezer case- I think I scared a mother and child browsing in the area. :P

I like the fact that we have a choice between tenders and nuggets.

i know this is well covered by now, but I had to go find the thread and post again. Just tried these tonight for the first time and they are really good. I used to eat weaver chicken nuggets all the time (before going gluten-free of course) and these are at least as good, if not better.

One tip- i find they're better when a little over-cooked. Take a little longer to get crispy than the box suggests.

Thank you for bringing life back into this post. I missed it the first time around. I'm going to go look for some tomorrow at Whole Foods. They sound great.

Been watching for these ever since the original post, but no luck. Can someone please please please post the ingredient list? I could ask to have them ordered, but need to be sure they're free of my multiple interolances.

Thanks in advance!

The ingredients should be listed on there, and if not you can contact the company!

just wanted to ditto that they are yummy- taste just like regular chicken tenders- and i also broiled them on each side to get the crispy'er they were kind of wet/mushy on the breading until broiled.

i also got mine at whole foods :)

I read this post a while ago and when I made the 2 hour trek to WF I found them. I haven't tried them yet but I am excited.

I have been making my own type of chicken nuggets. I buy chicken cutlets which are very thin and cut them in half. I use Gillian's bread crumbs which even my gluten-eating husband likes and then pan saute them. I added mushrooms and swiss cheese the other day and topped it with a honey-mustard sauce I made. It was pretty good.

I'm saving the nuggets for one of those starving days when I don't want to cook.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
