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 getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
