Kraft Foods Are Okay (if They Don't Mention Wheat)?


Sweetfudge

Recommended Posts

I bought some salad dressings, neither of which mention any gluten products. The kraft website says that they state any gluten ingredients. I should be okay then, right?

Also, does anyone have a list of kraft products that are gluten-free? I would be interested in browsing that before my next grocery trip...

Thanks!

When called they say they don't hide gluten but won't confirm things are gluten free. So, the best thing to do would be check ingredients every time.

Kraft does not have a gluten-free list because the ingredients will tell you whether a product has wheat, rye, or barley. To me, this is better than a list because anything on a list can change at any time. I wish every company would do this.

Please note that when Kraft lists the following, the product is still deemed gluten free UNLESS wheat, barley, rye, or oats is mentioned: vinegar, modified food starch, enzymes, natural flavorings, artificial flavorings, caramel coloring, maltodextrin, etc.

Any gluten containing ingredient will be labeled using it's common name: wheat, barley, rye, or oats.

On top of that, because of the Food Labeling Law of 2006, they are required to list wheat. Couple that with Kraft's statement (as mentioned above), and if you read ingredients, you will be fine.

I find the 'read the label' advice to be of little value, I react violently so I want to know for sure. I found a list of the products that Kraft certifies as gluten-free. Personally I will only use those products, they may have others that are but it is not worth the risk to me. I find it interesting their shredded cheeses don't appear at all which makes me glad I avoid them:

This is from the Kraft Kitchens website-

The date on this link is from the Fall 2003. This is too old to be reliable. Product ingredients and formulations may change often.

If you had gone to the link you would have seen that it is a detailed explanation of what to look for in their products that are made in the US. It does not give a gluten-free list as Kraft in the US does not do them, they tell us to read the labels. Thus since it is not for a particular product it is not out of date but details how they are dealing with the allergen issue on labels, gluten in particular.

thanks y'all!

Maybe just contact Kraft themselves. I know in Canada they are very specific about it. And i've seen a list on their site...where its pages and pages of all their products, and they check off which contains gluten and dairy, etc. but it probably wouldn't help you any because Kraft Canada varies from Kraft USA.

I didn't mean to sound abrasive. I just meant that any company information can change over the years. Just for people to be cautious...

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
