Kozy Shack Soy Pudding

Hi everyone!

I'm new to posting but have been reading the boards for awhile. I am not sure whether this has been posted before but I just wanted to warn everyone that Kozy Shack Soy Pudding advertises on the box that it is gluten free, but actually contains wheat starch!! I bought some yesterday because it said it was gluten free, but upon closer inspection discovered it wasn't. I was so bummed...

I am going to call Kozy Shack and let them know that they have mislabeled their product...though I am sure I am not the first to notice! I couldn't believe my eyes!

Not all wheat derivatives contain gluten.

Wheat starch commonly is a derivative that is made in a process that actually removes the gluten molecule. It sounds far fetched, but its true...

I eat they all the time. Distant memory recalls that hydrolyzed wheat protein, is when the offending protein is removed during the process, rendering it gluten free. You need to ask Irish Dave for the confirmation, though.

Is Kozy Shack

I have never heard of Kozy Shack Soy Yogurt. I didn't see it on their website. All the Kozy Shack products I have see are gluten free.

I don't eat anything with wheat starch in it. I suggest you contact the company and ask how they determined it was gluten free.

this can get so confusing! i actually don't have celiac...my husband does. I try my best to help him...I don't know you guys keep track of everything :)

The reason I was extra confused was because underneath the ingredients it said "Contains: soy, wheat" I will let you all know when I call the company and get an answer. Thanks for the input!

I missed the SOY Pudding. Like Phyllis, I have never seen that product. I would be interested in what the company reply is. Good for you for calling. :)

I got a response back from Kozy Shack and it turns out that broncobux is right!!

Dear Valued Consumer:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us concerning Kozy Shack Soy

Pudding.

Consumer communication plays a vital role in the ongoing improvements of

our products. Your comments are always helpful and appreciated.

In answer to your question, whole wheat is composed of a protein

fraction and a carbohydrate fraction. When wheat starch (the

carbohydrate fraction) is processed, it is separated from the protein

fraction, which is where the gluten is contained. The protein fraction

is discharged and we only use the carbohydrate part that does not

contain gluten. This results in less than 10ppm of gluten per serving

which is more stringent than the FDA's proposed regulations for a

"Gluten Free" claim (which is less than 20ppm).

We hope that you will enjoy our products.

Sincerely,

Kozy Shack Consumer Response Team

I immediately told my husband the news because the soy pudding cups are really good!! He said he still didn't want to take any chances...I guess that means more for me!!

The frustrating and sad part of this "gluten free wheat starch" issue is

that 10 years from now "they" could or may come to the conclusion that they

were wrong and it does contain gluten. And we were the ginny pigs.

I agree with your husband, I would not touch this product. At least they tell you it's in there. That's a step in the right direction.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      That sounds very hernia inducing work! You confirm what I have suspected, I get pain just to the right of the umbilical hernia, I am sure there is a connection. If do see my gastroenterologist I'll mention it again. I can't help thinking I've also got an issue in my groin, perhaps a hernia threatening, I guess an ultrasound would be needed to confirm...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      @Scott Adams Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia? I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed. I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease. If instead she had had normal levels of IGA in her blood, then the question of how much gluten she was eating would become relevant.

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.
