Hi all,

I contacted Ruby Tuesday's about their Turkey Burgers - their website and menu say they are 100% meat...no they are not. Here is their reply:

Dear Janet,

Thank you for your interest in our turkey burgers at Ruby Tuesday. Our burgers do contain a seasoning blend, which includes wheat and soybeans, so they are not 100% turkey.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Cordially,

Julie Reid

Vice President

How are they allowed to list it as 100%???

Just a guess, but maybe they are saying 100% turkey because there are no turkey by-products (scrap bits) or other meats with it. Unseasoned ground turkey would probably be pretty bland, and the wheat & soy probably help keep the burger from falling apart.

You are probably right - I guess I was thinking that since soy and wheat are on the must be listed list - they should temper the 100% with this note.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By smilebehappy · Posted

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      Gluten-Free Picnics--It Seems Like There Should Be More of Them!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By RMJ · Posted

      It took me 5 years to get one of my celiac antibodies down into the normal range.  A few years later it went up to a low positive. I had started baking with a certain gluten free flour. When I switched to a certified gluten free flour the antibody level went back down to normal. Has anything changed in your diet, supplements, kitchen, etc. that might correlate with the increase?
