Are Canned Fruits & Vegetables Ok?

[amber-rose]

Hi! I've always been told that eating canned fruits & vegetables were a big no-no. But then I heard someone else on the boards talking about how they eat them. So are they safe or not?

I don't no why they wouldn't be ok. I have never seen anything to the contrary.

As with every manufactured product, some companies will toss in a little wheat because....??????

Do your homework, check with some product list or call the manufacturer's 800 #. Use caution and you'll be fine. As with everything else, some veggies by some companies will be fine, while other veggies by the same company won't be gluten-free. Go figure. Research a couple of brands regarding the fruits and veggies that are staples for you, and then stick with those, watching to be certain they don't suddenly change their ingredients or processing in ways that would add gluten.

most are just fine, I have seen some brands (or generic off brands) where they toss in a little wheat flour, what for I don't have a clue, but for the most part most canned fruits and veggies are just fine. I get Publix store brand canned veggies or some of the canned veggies at Aldi's. (I wrote to Aldi and got confirmation on which of the fruits and veggies canned and frozen were ok).

Some varieties of chili beans or creamed corns or sweet potatoes do have wheat added, other than that I haven't really seen any canned veggies or fruits that aren't ok.
