Wegman's Emails

[luvs2eat]

I've signed up for emails from Wegman's... a new store is opening in the next few weeks near me.

They're offering recipes for Celiacs and those w/ lactose intolerance and other food issues.

The first recipe they offered for Celiacs included gorgonzola cheese. I rated the recipe w/ a low score even tho I'd never made it just so I could review it and warn Celiacs that, unless the brand of gorgonzola cheese recommended in the recipe is absolutely labeled gluten free, we should not use it. I also emailed Wegman's and warned them... no reply as yet.

This week's email includes using some packaged seafood sauce, a puttinesca sauce, and vegetable broth. I again reviewed the recipe and warned people reading it that they must absolutely read all the ingredients themselves as some of the sauces may have things like modified food starch. I also emailed Wegman's again and told them that most Celiacs will read all the labels, but those who are newly diagnosed might trust Wegman's before they get the label reading down. Maybe they'll reply to this email.

Can we say YIKES???

Hi

the Wegmann's in Doylsetown --talked to the chef himself and he said this 'soup' in to 'cafe' was gluten-free to eat. went all over the ingred. and PROMISED ME IT WAS gluten-free.

I ATE IT ..20 ON THE LONG RIDE HOME I WAS SICK AS A DOG.

CALLED THE NEXT DAY..TALKED TO SU CHEF AND SHE SAID IT WAS NOT gluten-free HAD WHEAT AS A THICKNER.

I DON'T TRUST THEM NOW..WROTE COMPANY..2 MONTHS LATER A PHONE CALL AFTER 3 MAILS..PROMISED ALOT AND DELIVED NOTHING.
