Lipton Cup-a-soups


BabySnooks

Recommended Posts

BabySnooks Rookie

Hi there,

I have been busy calling and emailing manufacturers with questions about their specific products. One of them, Lipton, said that if there is gluten in the product, it will be mentioned in the incredients (e.g., contains wheat, rye, barley, oats). I use cream of chicken and tomato soups a lot in my casseroles. The Campbell's condensed soups definitely have gluten in them. I thought as a substitute I could use Lipton Cup-A-Soup in the cream of chicken and tomato varieties. The thing that troubles me is that I have not seen this product on any gluten free lists of brands, nor have I seen it mentioned anywhere on this or any other forum as being gluten free. Yet, the company reperesentative claims it is gluten free, and I would love to use this product.

Anyone out there have any information on these two soups that would help me decide to use/not use them?

Thanks

Sharon

I don't know about those two, but the 2004 Delfi List said that Lipton Onion Soup Mix is glutenfree - others are not.

This product is manufactured by Unilever and they will disclose any gluten-free sources on the ingredient label.

I believe the only two that are gluten-free are the cream of chicken and the cheddar broccoli.

I think the tomato has croutons in it.

I do eat the other two with no problems!

I think the tomato with croutons is new. Geesh, I hope it isn't a replacement for the tomato soup. I checked with the company once and have seen it on a list or two some time ago. Kept a watch on ingredients and haven't seen anything that concerned me much since. Always a fear they would change their formula some day or drop the flavor like they did with their gluten-free chicken broth cup-o-soup a few years ago. Other than Ogran anyone know of any other cup-of-soup brands?

I can't eat it anymore due to other food issues, but I remember that the Lipton cup of soup/chicken was gluten free. I used to make casseroles with it (used less liquid to make it creamier). I enjoyed it! If you want, list the ingredients for us-we can help out.

Thanks to all of you for your input. Unilever does state that the ingredients will indicate if there is gluten in the soup. According to what I read, both cream of chicken and tomato are both ok. One of you mentioned tomato with croutons. I have tomato that is a few months old. The ingredients in the tomato soup are: whey, tomato powder, sugar, potato starch, salt, yeast extract, cream, maltodextrin, natural flavors, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika extractive (for color). I am pretty sure they are both safe. After a ten-month gluten challenge, I am just getting back on track with the diet again. I'm even a little paranoid about what's in everything. I am sure I will calm down after a while.

Thanks again for your support.

Sharon: Natural flavoring, is a vast term for "I can't tell you what's in it". Be cautious, but it you feel comfortable by the company's response. ...enjoy.

      For the blood screening test or any other testing, make sure you continue eating gluten every day until all testing is concluded. I'm traveling right now, but hopefully someone else can provide the link on how much you need. I think it's about 4 slices of gluten bread a day.

      The early days are often tricky for the newly diagnosed.   There were times I thought I'd never feel better, but it just takes some people longer than others.   Hang on in there, and keep posting with any questions as they occur or if you need any encouragement.

      Thank you, Scott, for sharing the article. I’ve been puzzled by products with gluten-free certifications that also include allergen disclosures stating the product is processed in facilities that also process wheat. It appears industry has moved on. I have little, if any, trust left in the certifications and labeling.

      Yea ... you're probably right.  I think I have been in a sort of denial about how bad this condition is. I thought it would be easier to deal with it.  It is clearly NOT.  Reading different posts on this forum over the past few weeks has helped me come to terms with that a bit, that this is a tough disease to live with and it takes some very serious steps to manage.  Several people mention AIP and it is helping me to think of myself as a person with an autoimmune disease, rather than a person who can't eat gluten.  That's making me take it more seriously and I think I need to do that if I'm going to get out of this loop I'm in where I just eat / drink foods that make me sick and I just battle through it week after week.  Its easier for my husband to see its damage than for me to see it in myself.  He reminded me the other day when I told him that I thought I ate something again that caused me to have a bad day the next day, and he says "you've been having a lot of bad days lately."  I've got to do something to break out of this pattern and so anyway yea I appreciate the suggestion to heal the gut first.  That makes total sense.

      I really recommend you go on AIP to heal your gut first, and then reintroduce foods one by one...
