Wild Oats Desert

I was just at my local Henrys and they have a "Flourless Chocolate Raspberry Torte" in the frozen foods section (Wild Oats Brand) . I checked the ingredients and nothing stood out as having gluten in it. They also list allergens and wheat was not one of them. Has anyone tried this already?

I shop at an Actual Wild Oats Store, and I asked about this today

They said to follow this....and always only do what your doc says....but if its not on this list...they don't endorse it as being gluten free.....and basically don't even "go there" if you're not sure and its not on the list....again though..even some things on this list....are not good for sensitive people....and note on the list....they have it marked as a claim, or verified gluten free item....

So, I guess that means you wouldn't eat it, uhh? :huh:

That list is as of August 2004, so they may not have even made that product yet. I would call them, but it's likely ok.

Oh, and tortes (especially chocolate), by definition, are flourless (or use very little). They tend to also have few ingredients, such as eggs, cocoa, sugar, cream...maybe one or two other things. Many tortes use finely ground nuts as the "flour"

That is list was made in 2004 but is the current one for their store as they have not added any products.

I was in the store just today, and that is what the manager said.

It was ill advised.

But you gotta try if you want to I guess, I would'nt though.....

Well, I tried the Flourless Torte and it was fantastic and I have had NO problems either, not even a little bit. I'm so excited and it wasn't even that expensive! $4.99!!! It is nice to have a store bought desert other than ice cream!!!!

MMMMM I love nut tortes! I've seen tortes though that used cake crumbs or bread crumbs instead of flour, so be careful. And unfortunately, chefs sometimes flour the pan it is cooked in, even if the cake is called "flourless"-- this happened to me at the restaurant where I ate dinner on my birthday. (Then I ordered a flan & they stuck a cookie in it! Not the best attention span there!)

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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      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.
