Tostitoes

Last night i was watching tv, and they showed an commercial for the new tostitoes made with flour. I havent done any reasearch on them yet. But just wanted to see what you all thought about still eating regular tostitoes now that they make a brand with flour. Im wondering if this is why some are getting sick on tostitoes. I am very upset that they decided to make some now with flour when they know so many people in the world cant have gluten.

... and are they making them all in the same facility as their corn ones??

It's probably worth calling the company and finding out if they're made on the same lines or in the same facility or not - if you like tostitos.

It's hard to fault them for adding flour, if those chips do significantly better in taste tests, since 98% (pretty much literally) of their market can have wheat.

I am going to call them when i get the kids off to school, it is much easier to be on the phone with only 2 kids at home then 5 lol.

I know its not their fault if they taste good with flour. Its just that i love tositoes and if they make them on the same lines as the other chips im going to be so heart broken. They are the only chips i have had since going gluten free lol

:( Please post back what they tell you. That is my dd's favorite too. And they help get us through the month when the Glutino pretzels run out.

Well I did call, and they said many of their products are made on the same areas of gluten based prducts, but they do clean them in between products, so there is a chance things can be cross contaimated, but it will be listed on their products.

And they said there is only one plant that is making the flour chips, that is not anywhere by colorado were i live. So i think everyone in different states should call and see if they are by the plant that makes the flour chips.

She did say she will send me a new list of gluten free products in the mail within 7-10 days.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
