Foster Family Farms Pickled Asparagus From Costco

I was recently diagnosed with celiac, and while cleaning out my kitchen of gluten-containing foods, I was dismayed to read the label on my favorite pickled asparagus from Costco.....it said "May contain wheat." I couldn't believe it, and...probably out of anger and incredulousness :o ...I called the manufacturer yesterday.

The owner of Foster Family Farms returned my call promptly and said that she put that on the label because the product contains white vinegar.....and that was the ONLY reason she did it. She said she has a relative that is gluten-free, and they were told to be wary of vinegars. When I explained that the distillation process removes the gluten molecule (exception: malt vinegar, made from barley), and that white vinegar was OK (and told her to look on this site for confirmation) she said, "Oh my, I should probably change the labels for next year's run!" YAY! I love their pickled asparagus! Enjoy! :)

Heck, the white vinegar probably isn't even made from wheat.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
