Hi! Sorry I'm posting so many questions about products, but I'm really new to Celiacs. I'm just wondering what Ore-Ida products are gluten-free and which are not. Also is there any websites or books that lists gluten-free items? Thanks for all the help!!!

Most companies have thier own website or 800 number. You'll find many lists, but they might not be up-to-date.

A lot of Ore Ida products are gluten-free. But some are not - as always, read the label. We eat the tater tots a lot. You may also want to find McCain projects (smiley fries, and other potatoes) or Alexia - both say gluten-free on the package and are yummy!!

Good luck!

Unfortunately Ore-Ida isn't one of those companies where you can "just read the label". I know that I once ate their frozen mashed potatoes only to get sick. Called and found out they were not gluten free even though nothing on their label looked questionable. My point being that this isn't a company that you can rely on their labeling only. You MUST go by their list to stay safe.

They do offer a gluten free list. If you e-mail them they will send it out. It has lots of stuff on it!!

I suggest you make a list of all of the foods you eat on a regular basis. Sit down and start sending e-mails out. This is the best way and most reliable way of finding out if something is gluten free.

I have to second that last post -- the Ore-Ida tater tots are on Heinz's list of gluten-free products, but I did have a slight reaction after eating some last night (not too debilitating, but definitely a reaction and definitely from the tots). I think they must be produced in a facility which also processes things containing gluten, so it's a cross-contamination risk which may depend on your level of sensitivity.

I ate some Mini Tator Tots by Ore Ida this morning. Soy was the only allergen listed, so I assumed they were safe. I did feel sick after eating them, so now I am wondering if there is an issue with CC. Has anyone else had this problem?

key, i have never had a cc issuse with them, if they where the extra crispy form, they have lots of extra soy so you could be slightly sensative

as for having to check the labels very carefully, that is not true, heinz the company that makes orida is owned by kraft that will clearly lable gluten in there products, if u look underneeth the ingrediants it will have in bold black what allergines it containes,

I know there are "offical" lists out there from them, unfortuntly they have not updated those lists since adding 4 new types of extra crispys, the only flavor/type of orida frys i have found at all that have gluten is the mini hashbrowns, the regular ones are only soy but for some reson they use wheat for the minis. of course always check the bags, but im a religiuse orida fan and i wont give bad advice

Heinz is NOT a kraft company. They are two seperate very large food companies. Each even has their own stock on the New York Stock exchange.

and you DO have to check the labels very carefully. You check ANY label very carefully, kraft company or any other company........please be careful of the advice that you are giving out. You can make someone sick by being so careless.

As for Ore-ida/Heinz.........you HAVE to go by their list. Otherwise you'll end up sick.

hienze is a divison of kraft, not owend but a division however that works, it even says kraft on the bag if you look for it. And they do clearly label allergens including weat (yes always read bags/labels always- i put that in my post) i was simply saying that they will always list allergens

The only way the two companies are related is that they both make food. Heinz uses lists, they do not clearly label.

And heinz will always disclose wheat, as they are required to do by law, since wheat is a top 8 allergen. They will hide all other gluten containing grains.

I have searched all over my Ore-Ida bag and there is no Kraft label. Did a google search of heinz and kraft. Nada.......they are NOT linked. Like Chelsea said, the only way they are linked is that they both make food.

They are required by law to list the top 8 allergens. However, rye, barley and oats are not in the top 8. Ore-ida is a company in which you MUST go strictly by their list and not only by reading labels.

Where's the gluten free list that contains Ore Ida tater tots? It's not listed on the Ore Ida website.

We have also eaten the tater tots but I guess we'll be stopping.

I worked for Ore-Ida in Fort Myers, Florida where we made Bagel Bites (before I became gluten-intolerant). Ore-Ida is owned by Heinz. :P

      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.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
