<_< Gluten free for 5 years, I guess when you haven't had any issues for months and months you get a little cocky and you go ahead and have the Trop 50 orange juice, even though it says natural ingredients, because, you're so sure it is fine. And you get sick, on Mothers Day, so sick that EVERY thing you eat leaves you. And you ache, and you burp and pass gas and you're so tired and YES, this is what it's like being glutened..It's so bad, you know you have to call in sick tomorrow. All because you ignored "natural flavors" and then you google and find out only their 100% juices are gluten free and you look at the carton and it is 42% juice. All I am saying, is do not relax your guard, even after 5 years. Please, learn by my mistakes and enjoy your holidays.

Man are you right.. I wish I would have read this 48 hours ago. I got glutened from Frito Lay's Mixed Nuts it had an allergy warning label on it for peanuts. So I figured what the heck, if they were produced on the same lines as wheat, they would have put that on the label too. Boy did I pay the price, it's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry. Luckily, since it was only CC, the reaction was not that bad.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).
