On the border has revised their gluten free menu, and the con queso appetizer is not on there anymore! So bummed. I used to just bring my own chips and eat it. Bummed bummed bummed. I emailed them. Wonder what they will say.

Not sure if anyone is reading this thread or not, but I did hear back from on the border. It was rather a nasty email. Well not nasty, but had sort of a rude undertone. The woman said "Well the queso contains modified food starch which is why it has NEVER been on our gluten free menu"

Um, I have a printed copy of the menu not only from the website, but from the corporate office listing the queso as gluten free! Now its not on there and she is telling me it never was. Hum....

We have had bad experiences with regular OTB food (not gluten-free.) The one near us is poorly managed & the staff is not at all "with it." We have had receipts with cuss word "jokes" directed at the other staff member, silly childish behavior & completely wrong orders. I certainly would never trust them with special food needs if they can't handle the regular menu.

I agree! I had my Triumph Dining Restaurant guide with me and a printed out copy of last month and I ALWAYS ate the con queso. It was listed as gluten free on both. I always asked for corn tortillas steamed and dipped them. Just this week my husband and I went there and I randomly asked them to bring me their updated list just to check and noticed the con queso was taken off! I was totally bummed, I am glad someone feels my pain. I figured they had changed suppliers... Thank you for emailing them and I am sorry their response was negative. I will think twice about going especially with out the con queso.

Sorry, I meant are the On the Border chips sold in stores still gluten free?

Read the ingredients. It's not like in the resturaunt when they would be fried in the same oil as flour tortillas or kids chicken nuggets.

I wondered why my 9 year old daughter kept getting sick after eating at On the Border. Thanks!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
