White Cheddar Rice Cakes

Okay, so I have read the ingredients on this package about a million times but for some reason I keep having doubts that they are really gluten-free. I need another set of eyes on this please.

They are white cheddar flavor rice cakes (no name brand). Here's the ingredients list:

brown and white rice, corn, seasoning (white cheddar cheese powder, whey, salt, cultured buttermilk, natural flavor, skimmed milk powder, lactic acid, safflower oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, silicon dioxide).

My DH just wants a snack that is healthy that he can grab and go - and plain rice cakes aren't cutting it.

Thanks in advance!

They look gluten-free to me--might want to call the company about the natural flavoring to make sure it doesn't contain barley/malt. However, with the hydrogenated oil, they aren't exactly as healthy as you think rice cakes would be. Probably beats a bag of chips, though.

Ok thanks for the advice...I called the no name company and they checked their allergen list and guess what gluten is in this product! It is apparently listed on their allergen information as gluten (corn). Does that make ANY sense at all??? Yikes.

I hear ya about the hydrogenated oil. If my DH has to choose between rice cakes and junky chips...I'd still rather him have the rice cakes, except not these ones cuz apparently it has gluten. Boo!

Corn gluten is different than bad-Celiac-gluten. Sometimes you'll see corn gluten or rice gluten on products and those are safe for Celiacs.

Ok you rock! Thanks again. I had another different flavor of rice cakes so I called the company again and asked them about it. And again they said yes it was on their allergen list under gluten for corn gluten. Sigh, I already threw out the other rice cakes but I will keep these other ones around.

It sure makes it confusing when the manufacturers list all things that contain gluten not just bad-for-Celiacs-gluten. I am sure I will get the hang of this eventually.

We all make mistakes sometimes--no matter how hard we try.

I just realized my daughter's shampoo could have gluten in it. :rolleyes:

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Yes I have thyroid and have had it for over 30 years and just got diagnosed for cealiac last march.I have been complaining all the years about stomach pain weight lost hair falling out they kept blaming on the thyroid and I am over 70 years old. but what I’ve been reading thyroid,diabetes,should take a closer look,I think autoimmune plays a part.All I know is that I cook strictly gluten-free and also found if restaurants don’t have a designated gluten-free kitchen not going there. Cross contamination is a big thing .

      Taken Seriously

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Celiac Disease is not taken seriously and I want that to change. It affects one in so many ways and not being properly cared for is frustrating and inhumane. On our worst days the last thing we are thinking about is going to the the hospital.Im 54 years old and went through the celiac ringer with incompetent doctors not understanding the disease and gaslighting me when not feeling well.Ive learned so much with the celiac community and had to school my new gi whose actually listening and understanding, now, this year 2025 when i was half told in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy..Pregancy doesn't affect the public but it's a reportable condition. I want to make celiac disease a reportable disease to protect the patients from being medically gaslight as I was.I want awareness, I want to not have another go through what Ive been through. In order for celiac disease to be taken seriously, I truly think it needs to be reportable disease to protect the patients. I did email Adam Gray and also my local representative.

      Aveeno products

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I use Aveeno for decades and I am dealing with skin issues and didn't think anything of Aveeno being a problem. Is Aveeno ok?I also use Yarrow pom in it which I notice helps.

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
