Question About 'cheese Puffs'


RelentlessX

Recommended Posts

RelentlessX Newbie

I recently bought some not so common brand of cheese puffs and I am unsure of if it's safe for me to eat. I cant find any website about this. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

The actual name of the brand is "Cheese Puffs" distributed by DeDinas/Franzak Ent Grand Rapids MI. The ingredients say corn meal, soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil, maltodextrin, whey, corn starch, cheddar and blue cheese (pasteurized milk, salt, annatto extract, cheese culture, enzymes), salt, butter (cream, water, salt), natual and artificial flavor, buttermilk, monosodium glutamate, Yellow 6, yellow 5 and yellow 5 lake.

Contains milk and soy ingredients.

That whey in it wont effect me will it? I know it's wheat, barley, oats and rye but could whey cause the same pains?

Thanks for any help! I'm still fairly new to label reading and any advice about this will help immensely!

Looks free of gluten. Enjoy!

Whey is diary related. It might be better to eat simply for a few weeks. Meats, seafood, veggies, fruit, rice or potatoes. Stay away from processed foods for a while. ( but that does not mean that they will hurt you - it just give your body a break).

Whey is dairy not gluten. They "read" safe however that does not mean they are gluten-free. I would try searching the internet to see if anyone else has contacted the manufactuar.

I think maltodextrin can be wheat derived (although not entirely sure!).

I have learned the hard way to call a maker whenever I see the words 'natural flavors'. Most times the item is safe but at times barley malt can be hidden in the flavoring. Other than that I would want to know if the company makes gluten containing items on the same lines since I am very sensitive to CC.

Maltodextrin is considered gluten free. In the US it is derived from corn; in the Europe, they get it from wheat, but even then they claim it is gluten free after all the processing (gotta love the McD's argument). I've never had any problem with it.

I recently found a great cheese/type of snack. They are called Chester's Snacks - right beside Cheetos. The butter flavored corn puffs are gluten free, Casein and Lactose free, onion free and Parve meaning they have no dairy. Be forewarned though, you may need to purchase more than one bag because they literally melt in your mouth the way cheese puffs do and you can go through a bag in one episode of Fringe.

      We had the follow up endoscopy 1 year out from the first one. We left that day and they said visually it looked good so he thought she'd be negative again. Results came back this week as celiac sprue present and level Marsh 3A. So she doesn't have much damage but she is now positive for celiacs... Just thought I'd post in case in takes anyone else a year to get a diagnosis.

      @thejayland10, did you read this article?

      I need to supplement my vitamin intake and was told AG1 was a good product.  I checked their website and they claim to be gluten-free, but I see that barley is one of the ingredients.  If the product is gluten-free how can it safely contain barley?

      @nataliallano, whatever else can be said, you need to get serious about eating gluten free. Lots of people with celiac disease are like you. We call them "silent celiacs". They have few or no GI symptoms and falsely assume no damage is being done to their body by continuing to consume gluten. Neurological damage is one of them.

      Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive given that they had gone gluten free for less than 2 years or so, and especially if they had not been careful about cross-contamination or had cheat days? The criteria for the gluten challenge makes it seems like the possibility of false negative is high in general.
