Yoplait New Labeling

I just purchased a dozen Original Yoplait yogurts and the labels no longer contain the phrase 'gluten free'. Of course I did not notice this until I was home. I have contacted Yoplait but have not yet received a response. Does anyone know if the Original formula now contains gluten.

I don't normally get the original flavors but I know that the ones that say digestion healthy or somthing like that are gluten free, but then again I have not purchased any in a couple of months. Hopefully you will get a response from the company so you can pass the word.

I am going to have to look next time I get to the store. I always liked the Whips but I haven't bought any of them in months now. I am an on and then off yogurt eater, but since the whips had that different texture I really liked them. Good to know though, thanks for the info.

I spoke with a customer service rep at Yoplait and she stated that Yoplait is gluten free (with the exception of the granola item) although she had no information regarding why the label no longer contained the 'gluten free' statement.

I just noticed that the Gluten Free is missing from my yoplait yogurts also. I contacted the company but still waiting for a reply. Also, does anyone out there shop at Super Wal-Marts? I use to be able to buy Brown Cow yogurt but can't find it anymore.

I just bought some of the original yesterday in Key Lime, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Lemon Merengue and they all say "gluten-free" on the back.

The following Q&A is on the Canadian Yoplait web site - may not be applicable in US although I can't imagine that the process would be different. Obvious exceptions would be the granola based and cookies items.

Do Yoplait products contain gluten?

We carefully analyze all of our ingredients (presence of wheat, rye, barley, triticale, spelt, oats and malt) to ensure they do not contain gluten. Our products can therefore be safely consumed by people with celiac disease.

This is from Yoplait.....

Dear Valued Consumer:

Thank you for contacting Yoplait regarding gluten in Yoplait yogurt.

It is our goal to help our consumers determine whether or not they can include our products in their diet. To accurately accomplish this, we believe it is best to refer to the specific ingredients listed on each product package.

However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product's ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.

Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your health care professional or:

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

I received the exact same response today, except with the following also added in:

"All Yoplait Original, Light, and Thick & Creamy yogurts are gluten free at this time, but we encourage our consumers to continue checking the label for any sources of gluten if the product is not marked GLUTEN FREE. We are working towards expanding the gluten free message to all cups and other Yoplait products."

I wonder whether the removal of "gluten-free" has anything to do with changes (or impending changes) to regulations in Canada??? I emailed Parmalat Canada a few days ago to inquire about their yoghurt, and this is the response I got:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us regarding our Astro Original Balkan Style Yogourt products. In response to your inquiry, recent updates in regulations have changed the definition of what can be declared as a "Gluten Free" product. As a result of the changes in the regulations, we are reviewing our products. Under the revised regulations, at this time only the following list of our products can be described as gluten free.

Beatrice Skimmed Milk

Beatrice 1% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice 2% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Homogenized Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre 1% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre 2% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre Homogenized Milk

Parmalat Skimmed Milk

Parmalat 1% Partly Skimmed Milk

I bought Yoplait 99% fat free 6oz containers yesterday and noticed the same thing. I just called and asked why there was no "gluten free" label on these containers. I was told that they have not changed the product ingredients, but they are working on getting the same labels on all containers. The rep told me that depending on what warehouse the products come from, some have already changed the printing on the containers and some are still in the process. Hopefully, this is correct information.

I too recently spoke to customer service and was given a fairly stock answer. I think they must have a wheat or gluten binder or dervied flavouring because my lips and mouth burn lately after eating Yoplait. The "reaction" is brand new with Yoplait so I have no choice but to believe that they changed their product and are not labeling it as they should.

I don't think so...yoplait is a kraft brand, and they clearly label. Maybe you are reacting to something else in the yogurt? Dairy? Fruit? Another flavoring? Or was the spoon somehow CC'd? Crumbs over the open silverware drawer?

As HAK stated before, I strongly suspect that your reaction was to something other than the Yoplait (unless it was cookies or granola).

Could you have an allergy to dairy? It does sound more like an allergic reaction.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      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.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      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.
