Tropicana Oj

I bought some 8oz tropicana "Healthy Kids" oj today, and when I called to check on it the very nice man told me the "secret" to identifying gluten-free tropicana products. I know many of you might know this already, but it was news to me so I thought I'd share. Tropicana products that list "natural flavors" as an ingredient are not gluten-free, and if "natural flavors" are not listed you still need to check the carton for a code. After the "best by" date there should be a long production code -- if it starts with 48, 12, or 33, it was made on a dedicated line and is gluten free. Otherwise, even if there are no "natural flavors" they do not guarantee it is free from cross-contamination.

Thank god!! Reading this made me sooo scared, but mine says 48 before it. Though yikes.. hopefully the others I use to have, were gluten-free too.

Thanks for this post!! Since I drink it, and thought it was all gluten-free.

Mine says 48, too, and doesn't contain natural flavors. Tropicana OJ w/ calcium is gluten-free. Thanks again, Joanna.

Yeah, that's the kind I have too. But seeing this thread made me go "AHHHH!" So I ran downstairs and checked, LOL.

Phew. =)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
