Kroger Brand Fruit Snacks

Hi,

I found out that my child had the Kroger brand fruit snacks at sunday school today! Does anyone know if these contain gluten? I've never bought fruit snacks before so I'm clueless. Thanks for the info.

I was wondering about Kroger candies too - their Swedish fish in particular! Anyone know if those are okay?

Thanks :)

I don't think that they have gluten in them, but I haven't checked in a while. Hopefully someone else will have a better answer for you.

This doesn't help you now but call Kroger Monday and ask them. They're very good about this. All the fruit snacks I've ever seen checked have been gluten-free, but can't tell you about the Kroger ones.

Most fruit snacks are gluten-free, but their are some fruit roll-ups and some new fruit twist type snacks that contain gluten (in the form of wheat starch I believe). At my house we don't eat Brach's fruit snacks, because the company has stated that none of their products are considered gluten-free due to cross-contamination. I don't know about Kroger brand though.

God bless,

Last I checked a few months ago, the fruit snacks were gluten-free. I cannot say anything but give them a call, though, since it has been several months since I called personally.

Thanks eveyone!

I almost freaked out when I found out about the snacks. We went to my in-laws church to visit. Next time I'm going to bring snacks with us!

I'm waiting on a call back from Kroger just to be on the safe side.

Thanks again.

Will you please ask about their gummy candies for me? (Swedish fish, gummy worms, that kind of thing)

could you let me know what you found out about their fruit snacks? I was looking at those and was going to place a call myself. :)

Hi, the dietitian called me back from Kroger today and they confirmed that the Kroger fruit snacks are gluten free. :) I had them check the Tom & Jerry Fruit Snacks but she said they all their fruit snacks are gluten-free.

P.S. I'm sorry Michelle, I didn't see your post until after I had already called Kroger. They were very helpful and nice about the situation. I called a couple of weeks ago about the Naturally Preferred Rice Drink and they were very helpful then also. The phone number is an 800 number and is listed on the back of all the Kroger products. I told them I didn't have the UPC code and they were still able to find the product. I've been trying to take my cell phone with me when I grocery shop so I can call before I purchase items. I was out today and I'll be out for a couple of days but I check this post when I get back. If you still need to find out about the products you listed, I would be glad to call for you. :)

Best Wishes,

Kasey's Mom

Thanks, Kasey's Mom, for posting what Kroger said! It's great to have another snack option, especially for traveling.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
