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-

Everyone should be aware that the site linked to in the previous post is for Kraft in Australia. It may or may not be of use to people in other countries.

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 Thus since it is not for a particular product it is not out of date but details how they are dealing with the allergen issue on labels, gluten in particular.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...

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
