Allergen And Gluten Free Food Box

I picked up my allergen free food box from Angel Food Ministries yesterday. This was my first time ordering it and I was a bit apprehensive. It included one pound each of frozen chicken nuggets, chicken fingers, chicken patties, and steak fingers. It also included dry mixes of vanilla cake, muffins, pancakes/waffles, and cobbler topping. All that for $35! We had the chicken nuggets and vanilla cake last night and my kids really liked it! I highly recommend it, especially for those that are newly diagnosed and are a bit lost as to what to cook. All the food is free of the top allergens, including gluten. There are no income restrictions. You can order as many boxes as you want. You can place your order online and pick it up a few weeks later at the nearest location (usually a church). I wish I would have known about this sooner! The website is www.angelfoodministries.com.

When you say they are allergen free does that mean no soy? I have wanted to order one but so much gluten-free stuff has soy too.

The allergen box is:

Processed to eliminate the eight top serious allergens: Peanuts, Soybeans, Milk, Eggs, Fish, Crustacea, Tree Nuts and Gluten (wheat, rye and barley).

Battered/Breaded with water, white rice, brown rice, modified tapioca starch, flax seed, sugar, salt, spices, dehydrated garlic, spice extractives/Breaded and oleoresin paprika. Breading is pre-browned in Canola oil.

I believe everything in the box is made by Allergy Free Foods: Open Original Shared Link

Thanks Janet for the link. I should have put it in my original post. The food is really good. My son is picky and he loved what we have had so far. I wish I would have known about this food box sooner!

      Allergy Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since gluten sensitivity or celiac disease could be a factor (alongside other potential allergens like dairy, eggs, or environmental triggers), getting proper testing is key. In Christchurch, you could start with a pediatrician or GP who can refer you to an allergist/immunologist or a pediatric gastroenterologist (if celiac is suspected). For allergy testing, some options include skin prick tests or IgE blood tests (for immediate allergies), while celiac testing requires gluten consumption beforehand. If you're hitting roadblocks, consider reaching out to Canterbury Allergy Clinic or checking with Christchurch Hospital’s pediatric services for guidance. In the meantime, keeping a food/symptom diary may help identify patterns. Hang in there—getting answers can take time, but you're on the right track!

      Allergy Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ARutherford! Have you considered that your child may have gluten intolerance/celiac disease? It's not an allergy, it's an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten. It cannot be diagnosed by allergy testing but there are some specific antibody blood tests that any physician can order to check for it. Ask for a "total IGA test" and a "TTG-IGA" test.

      Allergy Testing

      By ARutherford · Posted

      My child keeps getting rashes & stomach aches & l think it’s an allergy to gluten but l need to get a general allergy test done to confirm for sure what it can be. Getting an allergy test seems difficult, l keep hitting dead ends! I live in Christchurch & want to know if anyone can help with who to go to? Thanks

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      Good idea, @LynnM! That would be helpful to other celiacs who find themselves on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. You might also want to send them information about how to initiate the process with GFCO. But just a word of caution here, don't be surprised if the company is reluctant to pursue this certification as it can tie their hands with regard to changes in formulation in the future. Manufacturers often make ingredient decisions not only based on desired product outcomes but on cost factors. It can also put them at a liability risk should some ingredient supplier introduce an ingredient that was cross-contaminated with gluten without knowledge and cause someone to have a reaction. Testing for gluten-free certification is not done as frequently as consumers imagine and products can and do get out of spec at times. And once you slap a gluten-free certified label on a product, you are instantly open to possible liable suites.

      Hi Everyone. I just heard back from my son's GI doc and nutritionist. SHIELD products ARE gluten free. I am going to ask the company to Pursue gluten-free certification.
