Trader Joe's Nautural Turkey Gluten Free?

I bought a Trader Joe's natural turkey... even though there was both "turkey broth," and "turkey broth powder" listed in the ingredients. Besides that, there is nothing that would raise any red flags for me. Am I just being paranoid? Or should I wonder if the broth and broth powder are safe, if nothing else is listed with them.

I bought it last week and put it in the freezer... now it is thawing in the fridge and I'm starting to get nervous if it's okay for me. I'm gonna cook it for family either way, but I'd like to have some too if I know it's safe.

I did a quick check on the net and couldn't find anything about it. If anyone knows, it would help me a lot. Last year we bought a fresh, organic turkey from a local farmer and it made me sick... they assured me there was nothing added... so.... I don't want to repeat that scenario again this year. Would be better to just eat everything but the turkey if I question the safety.

Thanks.

Does anybody know if it's safe to eat?

I'd really like to be able to eat Thanksgiving turkey... maybe I should've bought some other kind. I can't find any info on it.

I havent called them or emailed them about it nor have i bought that, but they do clearly label their products. If products are prepared/made in a facility using any of the top 8 allergens, they will even put that on the label. Anyone, if I'm wrong, please correct me. HTH!

Thanks.

I bought it because I've trusted their products, labeling policy, etc. But I suddenly got concerned when I remembered turkey broth, and turkey broth powder are among the ingredients listed in this turkey.

I hope i'm just being paranoid about the words, "broth," and "powder," in this case. I really want to eat the turkey with my family, but do not wish to suffer any consequences from doing so.

Paranoid has a negative connotation in general. In our world, it can only be a good thing. I'd just call them.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
