Tofutti Update

[kelliac]

I personally get sick when I eat tofutti products, saw some similar reactions in this forum. Thought it might be something else so I tried tofutti two more times after the first episode. I was then fairly certain something in Sour Supreme, Better than Cream Cheese and Chocolate ice cream was the culprit. This is the response I received from Tofutti regarding any of their products being gluten free:

"All of our products are always dairy free. We do not sell any of our products as being gluten free"

Needless to say I won't be retrying the products again. Although wheat is not specifically listed as an allergen on the label, I am reacting to something and it may be a gluten containing item not from wheat. Just wanted to pass on this important statement from the company for others to consider.

I use their Sour Supreme all the time and haven't yet had a problem. I'm really sensitive too. Just a few weeks ago my sons were eating a soft pretzel and we shared a bag of chips (my mistake) and that made me sick!

I haven't tried their ice cream, however they do produce soy ice cream sandwiches which have wheat in the cookie portion. This is enough to steer me away from their ice cream.

I have tried the cream cheese a few times without issue.

Perhaps you have a soy problem too??

I also use their Sour Supreme and Better than Cream Cheese and haven't reacted. I did, however, notice that one of the ingredients on the cream cheese label is "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" which can be sourced from wheat.

What a bummer. I've been a vegetarian forever and used to eat those. I haven't had any in the past six weeks since I started the diet, but had been planning to check on them when I got time.

Thanks for doing it for me.
