Baked Lays?

[ilovechocolate]

I'm confused. can we have them or not? what about the CC issues?

thanks for the help!

Here is the current Open Original Shared Link. Lays does produce these chips on shared lines, but they clean between runs. If you want a Lays product that is produced in a gluten-free facility, that would be the Lays Stax.

Hope this helps.

I have been CC'd too many times by Lay's products to even want to try these. For me it is like playing roulette with my body, sometimes their products are fine but often they 'get' me. I do occasionally have the Stax though and haven't had a problem.

Ditto for me. I do now eat the plain Stax without problems.

Lays have been my sanity. In the two months I've had Celiac I've gone through about seven or eight bags...

We also avoid Lay's Products in my household. My son's "episodes" always seemed to correlate to eating a Lay's product. My son got sick after eating barbecue stax, but it was probably from all the junk they put in them.

I noticed on the ingredients that it say monosodium Glutamate. I thought this was gluten?? It says on the usafe list that its safe in the US...I am from BC, so are they safe or not here??

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is not gluten, however many people are still allergic to it. Symptoms of MSG sensitivity include headache, or a general feeling of stomach upset.

A reaction from Baked Lays could actually have nothing to do with gluten..I LOVED their chedder and sour cream baked lays chips until I ate too many...and the Olestra in the chips actually does give you a gluten reaction....I've heard of some people having CC issues and others are fine...but with Baked Lays this was the problem for me!

Hi,

The site says that they have a gluten-free line, NOT facility. I tried calling for clarification, because it says STAXs are gluten free but then "all products are produced on the same line...." which is confusing because they just said STAX was produced on its own line. How do they package the STAX? How do they ensure that STAX don't come in contact with other gluten-containing products or packaging??? If anyone has more info please share with the group! I don't dare try any of these until I have more information. Since I never really react to a product with gluten, I can't rely on my body to tell me (which in general is probably not the best way to go). I don't want to get cancer later or die sooner than my non-celiac peers, so I don't take chances - with lack of information or trust of the source, I err on the side of caution.

Here is the text from the site:

"*Our LAY�S� STAX� chips (all flavors) are made on gluten free lines, thus all LAY�S� STAX� products are free of gluten.

*The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected.
