"mfg. In A Plant That Processes Wheat"

[Guest micah]

My favorite frozen french fries say they are mfg in a plant that processes wheat. Does this mean I can't eat it? I'm just learning and very confused. Thanks!

This is a risk factor. I eat some things that are "manufactured in a facility....wheat". It just means that somewhere in the facility there's wheat. It doesn't tell you in what form or how close. On the other hand, there are others from which I have been glutened and I won't eat those brands again.

I personally draw the line at "manufactured on the same lines...." because I've gotten "got" by too many of those.

yeah i don't like to risk it either. i used to buy beans from walmart that said that on the cans, and just washed the beans really well, but i don't eat beans anymore.

I just inquired about the FritoLay product contamination.. and regardless of what people say, I might try it a few more times, but I am starting to feel like it definitely DOES matter. I've been sick when the bag/box says that stuff.. maybe not all the time, I don't know yet..But I would rather be feeling good than feeling sick because I thought something might be ok. Its just not worth it.

Thanks so much. I may have to start mfg my own french fries...

But I haven't been gluten-free long enough yet to tell if those frozen ones make me any sicker. I guess I'll go off of them for now and test them later when I'll be more sensitive to gluten.

Thanks!

My mom used to make us our own french fries! just cut up a potatoe and fry it in oil. They are really good!!! My sister used to slice potatoes really thin and then fry those so that they kinda resembled a fry/chip. then she'd put powdered ranch or bbq seasoning on them (I know that stuff has gluten alot of times.. but any kind of powder, whether its a seasoning for meat or a salad dressing mix, would work good if you like the flavor and can verify its gluten-free!)

Make your own fries! A fry shouldn't have anything in it but potato. Dust lightly with salt and/or pepper, and for a tasty treat, herbs. You can also top it with garlic and fresh grated parmesan cheese, yum.

If you have a wegmans near you they label all their gluten free stuff.

Fries as many have said are really easy to though. I cut up a potato in wedges and put it on a pan on tin foil then drizzle with olive oil and seasoning, I use McCormicks brand and bake till brown stirring the pan once. If I am in a hurry I will microwave it for a minute first. You can do a lot with the humble tater.

You could try Cascadian farms.

I just had this happen to me this week. My husband bought some corn tortillias that had that warning on them. I did not realize he had bought a different kind and ate part of one. I had put some tomato product on it like a baguette but didn't like the taste so I only had 2 bites. The next day I was in so much pain and couldn't figure out what I had done. Then it dawned on me that he had gone to Wal-Mart not the grocery store whose brand we normally buy. I went and checked it out and sure enough it was not my brand. I have had this happen to me twice now with two different brands of corn tortillias.
