Help! Kraft Jello And Salad Dressing

I am really confused about Kraft. I see a product lising for Canada, but nothing for the US. I've read here that Kraft CLEARLY LABELS allergens after each ingredient, but now I've read that "natural flavors" may have gluten in it? And I also bought Viva Italian salad dressing b/c there was nothing in the ingredients to worry about, but I don't even see it on the Canadian site as being gluten-free. So what's going on here? Do they truly list allergen sources or not? I've just eaten the Jello before finding that information, and I'm worried I'll have a problem now (which I can't afford to have, since I am in an already high-risk pregnancy!). I haven't had the dressing (thankfully), but it doesn't say anything after 'vinegar' in the ingredients. Does that mean it's a gluten-free vinegar?

Confused and worried,

Do you want to know if it's gluten-free in the US or Canada? Jello is gluten-free in the US and all gluten must be listed. If there are flavors that contain gluten, Kraft would write them like this: natural flavors (wheat). So in the US, just read the label.

I'm not sure about Canada because I do not live there but I know in the US that Kraft will not hide wheat,rye,barley, or oats under anything.For example:if there is modified food starch on the label of a Kraft product but doesn't say wheat,rye, barley, or oats after it then it is safe...Kraft will list the allergen after the ingredient if it is in the product. Hope this clears some things up :D

There is - apparently - a difference in how Kraft handles their items in Canada versus the US. There is a list for Canada, the general policy for labeling in the US. So, if you're in Canada, go by the list. If you're in the US, go by the label. (Even if they're different - sometimes the product formulations ARE different.)

Ok, I am in the US and couldn't find a gluten-free US listing. But as far as ingredients go, do you think they would label wheat after vinegar? I've never seen that before. I would love to try this dressing (Viva Italian) but I want to make sure.

Really relieved about the Jello!

They should...otherwise they wouldn't be living up to their pledge about listing gluten on the label.

Yes they would list wheat,rye,barley,or oats after the vinegar if it contained it.(in the US that is)

sounds hopeful!

Have either of you (or anyone else) ever tried the Viva Italian? I just can't believe it could be gluten-free. That would be so awesome! It was my favorite dressing and marinade!

Can't think of how else to say this except to repeat -- Kraft will clearly list wheat, rye, barley or oats if it's in there. They are one of the best big companies about this. If those are not in the ingredients, IT IS gluten-free. No need to question it any further.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is...

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
