Thank you for posting this.

Does that mean that the Mesa Sunrise cereal sold in the US is safe or not? The ones sold here are also 300 grams, but they don't have a best-before date or anything labeled as a batch #.

This is frustrating--it's my favorite cereal!!

I emailed the company. This is their answer:

"Thank you for your email.

This is currently only isolated to Mesa Sunrise product in the UK with the code date of 12MAY07 to 14MAY07. It is different cereal then that made for the U.S. market.

The batch # is the same as the freshness date located on the back of the bag upper right hand corner.

We do make other cereals that contain gluten. However, our strict production schedules and quality assurance methods ensure that the least allergenic foods are produced first. The products that contain gluten, soy and finally nuts are made and then the entire line is cleaned and the process re-starts. The equipment is periodically inspected & tested for gluten contamination.

At Nature's Path we have an extensive planning and cleaning schedule for all our production facilities in order to prevent any cross contamination of our products with non-declared ingredients. All of our products that do not contain nuts or soy or dairy

Well damned if I can find any batch # or best Before on my box or bag.

Better let 'the gluten eaters' have it.

<_< The hunt is on for another cereal that coeliac son likes <_<

I couldn't find the batch number on my bag either. In their response to me, the company said it is on the back of the bag, upper right hand corner. Sure enough, I found it there -- but I never would have seen it if I didn't know where precisely to look. The ink they use doesn't have much of a contrast.

The problem seems to be with only that one batch. If you can't find your batch number (maybe in the UK product they put it in a different location), email the company. I swear they answered me about 15 minutes after I emailed. They must be getting lots of these questions :lol:

Does this cereal taste sugary or sweet? I've been eating the Honey'd Corn Flakes which have the same amount of sugar, it tastes fine. I was thinking of trying Mesa Sunrise but it seems more healthier with all the ancient grains, I am worried it will taste like dirt.

I like the flavor. It is not overly sweet, though. The predominant flavor seems to be corn, but the flakes are more substantial than regular corn flakes.

Of course, taste is very individual. If you don't find it sweet enough, you can always add some fruit (nice in any event) and/or a spoonful of sugar.

I love these particularly because they're *not* a super sweet, kid-type cereal. So many of the gluten-free cereals are a bit too "Cap'n Crunchish" for my tastes. These are a little sweet, but heartier and more "adult." And they actually have some fiber!

Oops; my fault. After I posted I remembered that I'd come across that via a search, and that it wasn't current. D'oh!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Janet McAlpin! Using the gluten-free label doesn't mean there is 0 gluten in a product. It means there is <20ppm of gluten according to FDA standards. So, it is not surprising that there is some gluten in this product. What is the sensitivity of the ELISA test you are using? And the NIMA device has a reputation for giving erratic results.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Hello all, I have been using Elisa tests to slowly go through many ingredients in my kitchen to confirm they are gluten-free. Today, after eating Bob's Red Mill TVP, I didn't feel great. I decided to test it and the result found gluten. I am going to test all the Bob's Red Mill products I use regularly with the Elisa tests. I have found them to be quite accurate. I also use NIMA and can't wait for them to be back! I'll keep you posted! Janet

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/
