Kraft South Beach Diet Frozen Dinners

I was grocery shopping tonight and saw a new product from Kraft. They are South Beach Diet Frozen dinners. Curosity got to me and I picked them up to read. Majority of them have gluten in them, but possibly have found one without. It was a savory beef with cheese broccoli. It had no allergen info listed (which usually does when there is an allergen in the ingredents). I couldn't find anything in the label that sounded off to me. :o

So the reason for writing this is......if any of you are at the grocery store, pick up the box and read it over. Let me know what you think, safe or not???

I did not buy it yet. I am waiting to hear back from Kraft, I emailed them tonight. Just thought I would see if anyone else had seen them/tried them. Let me know.

I'll report back when I hear back from Kraft.

I went ahead and called Kraft this morning. Same labeling policy of course applies to these dinners as any others. If I am reading the label correctly the savory beef with cheesy broccoli is a safe choice. YEAH!!!

If any of you are at the store, pick up a box and help me read, the label is very long. I want to be sure it is safe by having others read it.

They are kind of expensive $3.14 for a meal. However, having an option in the regular grocery store would be nice on occasion.

Seeds of Change has a few frozen meals that are also gluten free. I'm not exactly sure of the name of it, but their Mushroom Wild Rice Pilaf is gluten-free. They use quinoa instead of pasta.

Also Cedar Lane makes several Mexican type dishes that are also gluten-free. You just have to call the company to verify which ones.

well i read lables today...and the caprese chicken dinner does not have gluten. the kraft web site doesnt even list that meal but i saw it in the store and read the label....so at least there are 2 options now.

some of the other ones would have been gluten free but that had to go and add soy sauce....arrggggg :angry:

I saw that one at the store last night, picked it up and had it for supper. I had no issues with it. Was VERY good, came with broccoli and cauliflower that had seasoning on them SOOO good.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
