Label Contradiction

Recommended Posts

I found this on the label for Western Family 'Roasted Peanuts with Honey';

"INGREDIENTS: peanuts, sugar, canola oil, honey, modified potato starch, salt, xanthum gum.

ALLERGENS: contains peanuts, wheat. May contain traces of other nuts/seeds"

What the? Where is the wheat product in the ingredients? I'll send them an e-mail and find out if they're giving a warning for possible cross contamination. Kind of makes you wonder how many products actually contain wheat, doesn't it?

Yep. Gotta wonder. I'm curious what they'll say.

I'll pass on their answer. It'll probably take about five days or so.

maybe the 'modified'?

I'd guess that it's a typo. It's got to happen every once in a while. Either something didn't get listed in the ingredients, or the allergen info is wrong.

Or they may use it on the lines or at some point in the processing. I would thank this company and pass on the product.

I'm curious too. I'm remembering someone on this forum once mentioning that sometimes conveyor belts have flour or a wheat starch on them to keep things from clumping together and sticking. I wonder if this is a way that they would know a product would contain wheat and yet it isn't a true "ingredient?"

I look forward to hearing the answer.

The answer is...

A representative of Save-On-Foods phoned today while I was at work. My wife explained our concern about the ambiguous labeling, and the representative agreed that the label is wrong. It should have said, "May contain wheat", as the processing plant that produced the peanuts also makes products with wheat in them.

Pretty good of them to call, and cudo's to them for trying to warn us about the possibility of wheat in a product in the first place.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
