Hamburger Helper Mix?

We often eat Kraft Dinner (we throw out the noodles in the box and substitute our own) and I was wondering whether anyone had ever determined whether the sauce mix in Hamburger Helper is also gluten-free?

The list of ingredients on the side of the box lumps the noodle ingredients with the mix ingredients.

Just wondering...

I think it would be best to call and find out, and to find out on all the different kinds that you eat. What i would do for an kraft dinner, im casein intolerant also so i cant have it,

mt,

I'm looking at a box of Cheesy Jambalya, and the noodle (pasta) ingredients are not with the mix ingredients. They are separated with parenthesis. I.e., when listing ingredients, it's common practice to use parenthesis when an item (in this case "pasta") contains more than one ingredient.

In this case:

INGREDIENTS:

Enriched Pasta (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin momonitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Corn Starch, .... continues with the rest of the ingredients.

So you see, the noodle ingredients are not lumped with the mix ingredients. The corn starch is the beginning of the "mix" ingredients. It's actually neccessary to list this way because ingredients are listed by weight. This lets you know (very approximately) how much of each ingredient (in relation to all the others) is in the product. In this product, pasta is the main ingredient, so it's listed first.

Makers of some products circumvent this requirement by using multiple similar ingredients. Sweet breakfast cereals are notorious for this. To give the appearance of less sugar, they use 4, 5, or even 6 sugar derivatives. Sugar, corn syrup, High fructose corn syrup, sorbital, polydextrose, honey, fruit juice extract, cane juice, theres others I can't recall at the moment.

best regards, lm

I don't know about hamburger helper, but Mrs. Leepers makes a great hamburger helper alternative. It's not expensive either. They're on sale today at shopbydiet.com.

We really like the chicken alfredo, cheeseburger macaroni, and the beef lasagna flavors. They're great when you have major time restraints, plus kid friendly too.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
