Shoprite Barbecue Sauce -- All Varieties


Nutmegger

Recommended Posts

An e-mail from customer service confirms that all varieties of their barbecue sauce are safe.

Of course, it turns out one of the ambiguous "spices" is paprika, meaning I can't have it...does anyone know of any gluten-free barbecue sauces without paprika? I've found several that are made without paprika but which are not gluten-free, so that doesn't help much. Failing that, any suggestions for making my own?

Stupid capsicum allergy, always getting in my way! :/

I called the company that makes Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce. The woman looked up the formulas of the Original and the Hickory and Brown Sugar flavors, and neither one of them contains paprika. She said the "spices" used are black pepper, garlic and red pepper.

It's also the best tasting in my opinion :)

I love Shop-Rite, I only get there when we are at the shore but I like that store :)

When we lived in New Jersey, we had a Shoprite that we went to regularly. They had a small, but good gluten-free section.

Where I live on PA, there are none close by--I think the closest is about 45 minutes away.

Supposedly there is one about that same distance from my mom's too.

When I was little we had a Shop Rite close by and it was dirty and eventually went out of business. It wasn't until we went to the shore the first year, that I had been in another. It seems they are redoing their stores and they are nice now. Good example of a chain store picking themselves off the bottom.

Yep--the one I was talking about in Jersey was a much smaller store that they closed and re-built much larger about 3 or 4 years ago.

I believe we are stopping at the store tonight. I have decided to make stuffed shells this weekend when we get back from my parents. I want to pick up the stuff early.

Wow, thank you for going out of your way and doing that! Unfortunately, red pepper is still a capsicum -- paprika is actually made from dried red pepper, so they're pretty much the same thing, just in different forms -- but it's awesome that you were willing to help out like that. :) I haven't seen "red pepper" listed as an ingredient for any sauces, just paprika, so I should've clarified that.

Also, as far as ShopRite goes, the ones around here (Connecticut) have always been considered pretty decent. They're all independently operated, so I suppose some owners are more attentive than others. The ShopRite in my town is considered to be much nicer than Stop & Shop, Shaw's, or most of the others.

You're welcome--but darn about the red pepper! :angry: I didn't realize they were the same thing, although it makes sense.

Hopefully, someone will have another idea for you. :)

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
