Has anyone noticed that the 'gluten free' labeling is no longer on the bag of Mission Tortilla Chips?

I am afraid to buy them now....

Yes. I noticed the tortilla rounds did not say gluten free. I usually buy the tortilla strips which have always said gluten-free but my husband brought these home. I did feel bad after I ate them. I can't say for sure it was a gluten reaction because I didn't get irritable and moody like I think I do after having gluten. I did have bloating and a stomach ache. Whatever, it was, I will not eat those again!

I will still buy the strips if they say gluten free.

I have also noticed this change in the packaging. The website states that some things are made in the same factory as wheat. It was not clear why the removal of gluten-free on the package. I sent Mission an e-mail asking why they have done this. If they reply I will post their answer.

I sent them an email after I posted my comment. I will let you all know what they say "when" they respond.

I just bought the big bag if strips at Costco, and they say gluten-free. It's just a lotta chips -- I like the smaller bags from the grocery store...

Here is my reply from Mission Foods: [sigh]

Dear Customer:

Although our corn products (including corn tortillas, chips, tostadas and taco shells) still do not contain any gluten, the FDA has been working on issuing a final ruling on the issue of "gluten free product". We decided as a company to remove gluten free from our packaging until the final ruling is passed, and then we will make adjustment in our packaging, if any. The last update we have from the FDA is that they have a proposal on this issue. If you would like to get further information on this ruling, you can visit the FDA website.

*cry* i didn't notice until after i'd done all my grocery shopping, and brought home our monthly stock of them. i don't know what to do. i might just stick w/ my fritos and let the husband eat them all. that pisses me off, b/c when i was dx'ed, mission chips were the first thing i discovered was gluten-free! i even wrote to mission and told them how happy i was to see the gluten-free label on their food. :angry: guess it's time for another letter....

My guess is they are still gluten-free. I still eat them mostly because I like them. For some reason it sounds like the legal department had a hand in this?

      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.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
