Amy's New Indian Meals

[BallardWA]

Hi All,

I just found Amy's new Indian style frozen meals, but am reluctant to purchase. The label says "no gluten ingredients". This is not the same as gluten-free, no? I've read other things here about celiacs being glutened by her pizza, so I'm wondering if this brand should just be avoided because the labeling is not really truthful. Anybody have any comments?

Thanks,

I might be wrong, but I thought I read once that a product can not be labeled gluten free if it's not something that would normally contain gluten. Perhaps this is the case. If these are foods that would never have gluten to begin with, then it can't be removed or altered from the recipe, so they can't say gluten free.

"No gluten ingredients" is just sort of a safer way (from the company's perspective) of saying gluten-free. It's sort of a cya thing - at the off chance that there might be some cross contamination. I've eaten quite a few Amy's products and have never had problems with them.

The Amy's products that say gluten-free also say that they were produced in a facility that produces wheat so I interpret that as "this product contains no gluten ingredients but they could be cross-contaminated".

I actually had to stop eating Amy's products because they made me so sick....

I can't eat Amy's products either, they make me really sick.

Amy's meals are good but I've had problems with all of the ones I tried. I've even had a problem with the Chili.

I have not had trouble with any of her meals and especially like her Indian selections, the cheese burritos, and the mac & cheese. However, watch the fat content on the mac & cheese!

I haven't had problems with Amy's either. Could it be something else that can be causing the problems?

I don't think its anything else, I have very clear and unmistakable symptoms when I get glutened. I don't get glutened every time with Amy's stuff but maybe half the time and as I said the symptoms are perfectly clear.
