Log Cabin Syrups Contain Barley?!

I was looking through this site about gluten free foods:

Open Original Shared Link

The November 12, 2004 entry says Log Cabin syrups contain barley and aren't gluten free. I've been using that syrup and on the label it doesn't list barley at all. What's going on here?! Don't they have to list it as an ingredient?! That's messed up. Anyone know anything about that brand? I don't mind switching syrups, but it would have been nice to know that I was eating something that was contaminated.

The site says:

"November 12, 2004: Aunt Jemima's syrup, Mrs. Butterworth's syrups and all Log Cabin syrups except Country Kitchen: Subscribers to our food SmartList and our food pocketguide should note that these syrups now contain barley and are NOT gluten free."

NOTE that it later confirms that Aunt Jemima's syrups ARE gluten free.

I contacted this company in January of this year. The company is called Pinnacle foods. Their response is below. Basically, the Log Cabin Country Kitchen is safe, but the others may not be. We use this kind, and we really like it.

Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods

Corporation

and the products we produce which might be gluten-free. We appreciate

your interest in our company and our products.

At the present time, Vlasic

Barley doesn't have to be listed because it's not one of the top 8 allergens.

Kevin,

Thank you for posting that information. That is what this site is all about, helping each other through Celiacland.

I would use a bit of caution upon relying on 2004 ingredient information. Products change frequently and while it's easy to rely on passed on information, the MUST rule here is to READ ALL LABELS. ;) Barley can be a hidden ingredient. And, when in doubt, call or write the company.

As richard indicated, barley, rye, malt and oats are not reqired to be listed as an allergin. Wheat is required.

That's crazy. They should have to list everything. That's the point of having an ingredients list. Considering that there are enough people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease, they should be forced to list gluten and not just wheat.

I saw a post somewhere on here about certain brands that will always identify sources of gluten...I'll have to find it and try to stick to them.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
