Aldi's Fit And Active Turkey Meatballs

Does anyone know if Fit and Active brand Turkey Meatballs (frozen) from Aldi's are gluten free?

The meatballs allergan statement on the package only says contains milk and soy but I couldn't confirm gluten free as I can't find a way to email Aldis on there site and there is none for Fit and Active.

I am trying to put together gluten free foods for a little girl for Vacation Bible School that most resembles what her peers will be eating.

Also, which brand of cheese balls or cheese puffs are gluten free?

Many thanks for any help.

You will not be able to get in touch with Aldi. Aldi's whole point is they save money by not having all the frills that other stores have. I've tried, believe me!!! I love Aldi. IF WHEAT is not listed, it does not have wheat. I do know they follow UK Codex requirements for allergen reporting - of course, I don't know what that means.

I have not tried the meatballs since going gluten free simply because meatballs are usually made with bread crumbs. I know they're in Batavia IL...but was not able to get a handle on anyone.

I know they have gluten free recipes in their menu planner section - maybe you could look at those and see if there are any of them that use the meatballs? Just an idea.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
