New gluten-free Products At Whole Foods

The Whole Foods in Marlton, NJ just started carrying some new own-name cereals, including a gluten-free version of Cocoa Puffs called Cocoa Comets. They also have a rice krispy cereal with strawberries in it - it's been out of stock, so I don't know if it's gluten-free, but their regular rice krispy cereal (in the orange box) is gluten-free.

The store also has a new line of gluten-free baking cake, bread and other mixes that are priced a bit lower than gluten-free Pantry - I compared the ingredient labels for a few of them with gluten-free Pantry and they were exactly the same - it's probable that gluten-free Pantry makes it and puts Whole Food's name on the box.

I bought a corn bread to try but haven't made it yet. Yes, prices are cheaper ...

Yeah, my son loves cocoa puffs! Now if they could only make fruit loops... I hope my store will start carrying the new products soon.

My grandma surprised me yesterday and had made me chocolate chip cookies. They tasted EXACTLY like non- gluten free cookies! They were amazing! So I asked her what brand they were and they are the Whole foods brand!

My Whole Foods got rid of all of the Gluten Free Pantry products and replaced them with their own brand. I'm so mad about it. We have enough trouble finding products that we really like - they have to go and make it harder? How about giving us more options and not less? I would have liked to be able to make the choice of whether or not I wanted Whole Foods brand or not. Guess I will just be ordering directly from GFP.

Like I mentioned in the original post, since many, if not all of the products have identical ingredient lists and nutritional info, my guess is that Gluten Free Pantry is making these mixes directly for Whole Foods.

I'm going to email them to find out. I've looked at both websites and no one mentions it. I'll post the reply when it comes.

Just talked to Whole Foods (Jericho, NY) and they confirmed that Gluten Free Pantry is indeed making those products for them. I wonder why they changed some of the ingredients then. You would think they would just repackage in the Whole Foods packaging. That's what made me think they weren't the same.

Whole Foods in Marlton, NJ finally got in the store brand Rice Krispies and Rice Krispies with Strawberries - they are not gluten-free - they contain malt. They seem to have replaced the private label rice krispies in the orange box (which were gluten-free).

On the plus side, they started carrying Ian's button cookies - the chocolate chip and cinnamon flavors are gluten-free. They come in individual portion control packs for lunchboxes.

Yes I have tried the Whole foods brand Brownie mix and it does taste a lot better than the other gluten-free brownie mixes out there even better than Bob Mills and Pamela's. I also tried the cornbread muffin mix and my daughter and husband who can't stand when I make our dinner Gluten free they could not tell and loved the meal that I made and had 2nds. I can't wait for my brownies again, no oil is required which I did better with too.

I also like the 365 brand of gluten-free products so far! I am, however upset they stopped carrying the BIG bag of Pamela's baking mix :( I was buying that stuff A LOT for all kinds of baking.

I need more options for eating though.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
