Can Ground Beef Chubs Contain Gluten?

Hi all! you know those big round chubs of ground beef you get a wal-mart, is it possible there is some sort of gluten ingredient added? or is it just 100% beef?

Any gluten source in meat would have to be listed. In plain ground beef/sirloin/meat/etc, I've never seen one with gluten.

If it is fresh meat with no flavorings or broths added it should be gluten free.

As already stated, it is the fillers that could add gluten and those should be listed as ingredients.

On a related issue: I was in my local grocery store and noticed that in their case they have "ready to cook" items (meat loaf, stuffed chicken breasts, etc.). Depending on how things are processed, there might be some CC risk from those items.

thanks, i will check the packaging for any flavorings that might be added...

If it says flavorings but doesn't specifically list wheat, rye or barley, it's still gluten-free.

I just learned a new word! I had no clue what beef chubs were.

Yesterday, my mom asked me about the ground beef I bought at Costco. Did it come in tubes? No. It did not. In fact I had never seen any beef packaged that way. Then yesterday in looking for the hot dogs, I found it and it was called chubs. I think it might have been frozen.

I have since looked up the term and learned that it means beef packaged in tube form.

I rarely buy beef this way, mainly because most of the beef we get here is not packaged that way. Moran's comes that way, but they've had so many recalls, I try not to buy it. I think Fred Meyer's has some like this (not sure what brand), and I've bought it a couple of times. But mostly when I can, I buy grass fed organic beef.

If in the US, the beef should be nothing but beef, unless marked otherwise. I have seen some frozen patties that had soy or perhaps just soybean oil in them. I have seen store made meatloaf mix that wouldn't be gluten-free. But I have never seen any other ground beef with added stuff in it.

Now other countries might be different. From the people I have spoken to online, it seems pretty common in Canada, Great Britain and Australia for beef to have added ingredients. And I believe that the hamburgers they served us in school (many years ago) had bread or something mixed into the meat. It didn't really taste like meat. We used to joke that it was horse meat.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
