I have also noticed that the "Gluten-Free" was removed from their brand of Vienna sausages. I'm wondering the same thing.

I would guess that at least on the vast majority of the items the ingredients didn't change. What probably changed is that some company lawyer got paranoid they'd be sued if someone got gluten. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if somebody (or several somebodies) with celiac did get glutened and made all kinds of noise about suing. There are a lot of people out there who don't realize that screaming "fire" every time they think they've been glutened is bad for the celiac community.

Another reason Walmart might have removed it is that the U.S. in fact has no official standard for gluten-free.

Is the stuff still gluten-free? Well of course oil would be. All Vienna sausages I've ever checked have been. Same with fruit snacks. All you can do is read the ingredients if there's no 800 number to call (and if they won't say gluten-free on the label any more, I doubt they'd say it on the phone).

How would a person know for sure that the gluten came from a particular product? We need to be very careful not to "spook" the companies that are trying to provide the foods we want and need. It would be awfully hard to prove cross contamination, but the resulting law suit could convince the company not to even try to go gluten-free.

Please recheck ingredients from a thread that is a couple of years old.

I think several years ago Wal-Mart did remove their gluten free labels, however, the Great Value products now contain a label that says "Naturally Gluten Free" and most of their products contain a manufacturered on equipment that also processes statement so between the two you can make assumptions based on your own sensitivity.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
