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.

You're being paranoid. I'd eat it.

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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.
