Vancamp's Substitute?

[Guest gfinnebraska]

I am not a bean lover, but I do like putting VanCamp's Pork N Beans in my chili ~ yes, it sounds wierd, but it is good!! Anyway, since learning that VanCamp's is NOT gluten-free, I need an alternative. Any ideas?? Is Bush's gluten-free? Any other brand? I like the small navy beans... not any red or kidney beans. Yes, I am picky when it comes to beans! Sorry!!

Bush's beans has a gluten-free list. I believe everything is gluten-free except their chili magic line. You will probably want to write them and get a current list. Hope that helps.

Thank you!! That is great to know. I will write them asap and find out. I needed to go to the grocery store, so I will pick up a can (after reading the label of course!).

Since you are in Nebraska, you probably have HyVee stores there? The HyVee brand of Pork & Beans are gluten free according to their gluten free list at HyVee.com.

Thank you Dewey! ~ The closest one is an hour away, but I do go that way more often than I should! I will give them a try.

VanCamp's may possibly have changed their formula since this thread was begun in 2004. But, everywhere I'd seen on the internet, VanCamp's Pork and Beans in tomato sauce is gluten-free. Well, I don't think so. Possibly gluten is now being put in the "natural flavorings?" Anyway, I've had one heck of a gluten reaction after eating this yesterday. I'm still having problems today, like I always do for 24-48 hours after getting glutened.

Everything else I ate was all fresh whole foods, so there is no doubt what did it. The VanCamp's Pork and Beans.

I sure wish these manufacturer's would put on their labels when they've changed a formula, or put the allergy warnings like they should. It would have saved me two days of pure He$$.

Does Nebraska have Meijers? I liked thier organic beans. I tried several varieties and had no problems.

Nope, sorry, just checked and you don't have Meijers Brand stores.

For those of you in the Great Lakes area though..........

Campbell's appear to be gluten-free. Does anyone know for sure?

Last I heard, Campbell's beans are not gluten-free. B&M are, though, and imported Heinz from England. You might want to check the Campbell's website - they were not when I went gluten free 5 years ago and I haven't checked lately.

Okay, thanks. Pork and beans are not something I buy too often. I have diabetes and they are pretty high in carbs for me. Mainly I just buy plain canned or dried beans. I do think I had some little cans of pork and beans (thought they might have been Campbell's but maybe not) that daughter didn't react to. But she is no longer allergic to gluten. Just wheat.

I called Campbells, they said nothing they put in a can is gluten free.

I guess that makes it simple.

Are any of these gluten-free AND corn free?

Here is the link to Campbell's gluten free. They commented on a thread I was reading yesterday about soups. Open Original Shared Link

(I didn't look to see if it would help this question, though.)
