Masa By Quaker

[KarenFe]

I like to make my own corn tortillas and use Masa. It's ingredients are listed as:

Corn treated with lime water and specially ground, niacin*, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate*, riboflavin*, folic acid*

* denotes "One of the B vitamins"

Is this a gluten free product? All I add is water to make the tortillas.

Thanks so much,

Karen

Hi Karen, Generally the concern with corn meal and masa is whether it's ground on the same equipment as wheat (which usually renders the product not gluten-free). I would recommend calling the company and inquiring about the gluten-free status of the product as most of their stuff isn't gluten-free.

Thanks, Janet. Is there any corn tortilla product/brand that is considered gluten-free?

Hi, Karen,

I have found that Quaker mixes their grain vats or whatever they are called. I had their grits the other day and got gluted with the first bite. I was running to the bathroom five minutes later and was in horrible stomach cramp pain. It was my first meal of the day - and after that almost the only meal it made me so sick. I was fine for several days before this. I've read in several places here that Quaker does not guarentee any of their foods as gluten free.

Mission corn tortillas seem to be the tortilla of choice. They are produced on dedicated lines. (see their FAQ: Open Original Shared Link). Several of the store brands also have corn tortillas on their list too.
