New Glutino Crackers

I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to eating gluten-free food because I am a part-time gluten eater. My daughter has Celiac, so we keep our house gluten-free. We've adjusted quite well the last year, mostly focusing on natural foods and mainstream gluten-free foods and a few can't-live-without substitute foods.

We've been regular buyers of Glutino "Ritz" style crackers to make homemade Lunchables. For a while, though, the crackers disappeared from our natural food store shelves, and the manager didn't know why.

Well, evidently, Glutino has expanded the line of gluten-free crackers. Today when I was there I saw not just the plain variety, but cheddar, herb, onion, and regular. I picked up a box of the cheddar and tried them the second I got home.

They taste delicious!!!! They are a little "tougher" than a true Ritz, but the flavor is very good and not "ricey" at all. I like them even better than the original Glutino cracker (I can't seem to find them on the Glutino web site or I'd link to it). I wouldn't say they are as cheesey as a Cheez-It, but have a nice texture, shape, and a good cheese flavor.

If anyone happens across these crackers, definitely give them a try. To me, they pass the ultimate gluten-free food test and that is---serving them to guests! I would totally use these to make a party snack or set them out with cheese for guests to eat. That's how good they are.

Anyway, my apologies if there is another thread like this (I didn't find one via search).

Happy munching!

My son likes the cheddar. He says they taste like goldfish crackers.

My dh is thrilled. He's fed them to non gluten-free friends, who really complained about some of my 'experiments' (garbanzo bean cake-bean, not flour) and they said they couldn't tell the multi-grain from a regular multi-grain cracker

Glutino crackers, regular and cheese, are one of the few specialty gluten free foods I buy on a regular basis. I like the regular ones with pepperoni and cheese on top.

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).
