I know that others have written Target about a gluten free list. I just did and this was the response that I got:Subject: Gluten Content Inquiry All headers

Dear Wendy Martin,

Thanks for your inquiry about the gluten content of our Archer Farms products. Helping to ensure the health and safety of guests and their families is our number one priority at Target.

I'm sorry Target doesn't currently offer gluten-free list for our products. However, the eight major allergens are indicated either in a statement directly under the ingredient list or in the body of the ingredient listing. The labels on our products are the first place to look for the most accurate information about the possible use of gluten in a product.

Additionally, we're always here to help. If you're ever wondering about the possibility of cross-contamination or the gluten content of a specific product, we're happy to research the item for you. Just call our grocery specialists at (866) 423-2135. When you call, please be sure you have the packaging. That way, we can quickly get you the information you need.

Great products. Great [uTF-8?]value—that's what shopping at Target is all about. Your comments are a big help to us, and I'll make sure to share them with our grocery team.

We'll keep working to make sure you can always count on the quality you've come to expect from Target.

Sincerely,

Gregg

I'm new to adding a comment or question to this forum but have found it extremely helpful as I continue my research on gluten-free diet. My son and I are 2+ months gluten-free and it's changed our lives!

I'm wondering if anyone has any updates on any Archer Farms foods from SuperTarget. I'm finding I react when I eat anything from Archer Farms, but haven't been able to narrow it strictly to the AF brand or if something else had gluten. It would be nice to know if any of their items were off-limits or okay.

Thanks!

i've called them before about their organic fruit strips and fruit bars.... they are totally gluten free and no gluten is handled on the machinery. they were very helpful and knowledgeable, just be sure you know the UPC # of the product so they can look it up.

Based on their response above, it sounds like they are only declaring wheat on the labels. Barley, rye and oats could easily be hiding in natural flavors, etc. I avoid them because they've never been very helpful when inquiring about the status of a product. I prefer to stick to brands that clearly labels all forms of gluten.

Just wanted to ad a few cents here. I have called many times on the Market Pantry Target brand, and they are not that helpful. You can only call Monday through Friday, between 9 and 6 in whichever time zone their office is located. When I called they told me that due to constant changes in ingredient suppliers I would have to call every time I want to know about a product, as they base the info off the lot and batch number. This went for their foods and medications. They only list the major allergens as required, and due to the constant changes they will not do anything else.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
