This Is Gluten Free Right?

I thought NO way would this be gluten free, but my husband found it and said it was.....here is a link to the product. I don't see anything, but I am newer, so I want to be sure.

I don't see any gluten ingredients either. Hopefully you'll get at least one more pair of eyes. The list is a little scarier than the Breyer's I usually eat though.

"Food starch-Modified" as apart of "Stabilizers" makes me nervous. Especially because later in the ingredients they specify using "Corn Starch" (which is safe) in the "Sequin Candies." I don't think I'd take my chances. I have found that Food Starch tends to be a vague hidden form of wheat or gluten.

Modified food starch and Natural and Artificial flavors are the most iffy ingredients in that list (at least as far as gluten goes--I don't willing consume anything containing HFCS and Partially Hydrogenated Veg Oil). Even though in NA the Modified Food Starch is usually not gluten, it COULD BE. I would contact the company to make sure if I were you.

Well, it probably does not contain gluten ingredients, being that in the US (on food items) they are suppose to list wheat as an ingredient if it is in one of the starches or something. And I don't see any rye, barely, or oat ingredients. That said, there is a lot of scary ingredients in that product, including the important to avoid hydrogenated oil. Remember, they can round the nutrition label down to 0g per serving of trans fats, but it is still in there. I personally would not eat that product or give it to my son. That said, I am a little extreme.

I would be concerned about CC with this product, they are likely to make ice creams with cookies, brownies or dough in it and I don't know good they are about cleaning the lines between batches. I would call them, I bet they give you some vague answer?

If the modified food starch was made from wheat it would have to state it on the lable. The ingredient I would question is the natural flavors. This can hide other forms of gluten (not wheat) mostly barley.

[Luvbeingamommy]

Well something is still getting me, but could be another food, not sure.

I was thinking CC might be a risk. I guess I'll call them, but I'll probably just go back to vanilla ice cream to be safe. Might call for the heck of it though.

It's always good to go to the source for the most accurate information:

Information about Gluten

Federal Definition of "Gluten-Free"

The January 23 edition of the Federal Register contained a notice of proposed rule making to define the use of the term "gluten-free" for voluntary use for food labeling, to mean that the food does not contain any of the following: An ingredient that is any species of the grains wheat, rye, barley or a crossbred hybrid of these grains, an ingredient derived from them and that has not been processed to remove the gluten, or that has been processed to remove the gluten but more than 20 ppm remains. In addition, a food made from oats that bears a gluten-free claim in its labeling would be deemed misbranded if the claim suggests that all such foods are gluten-free or if 20 ppm or more of gluten is present in the food.

Gluten Content of Blue Bunny® Products

Obvious gluten-containing ingredients in Blue Bunny® products include items with wafers, cookies, brownies, cookie dough, bisque and pretzels. For the safety of our customers, if any ingredient such as a flavoring, stabilizer, emulsifier, color or coating contains gluten, it will be named in the ingredient statement. In general, Blue Bunny® products are gluten-free unless they contain obvious gluten-containing ingredients or gluten content is otherwise noted in a product's ingredient statement.

Hmm, so it is gluten free, but probably has cc issues then??

maybe too much of a good thing.

Even a little dairy can leave me feeling bloated and uncomfortable. But, everyone is different.

The last time I had blue bunny (it was plain vanilla) I had a DH flare-up and I am extremely sensitive to cc, so I would guess that might be the case for you. I've found that I have to stay away from many of the ice cream brands due to cc.

Good Luck!

Is there a certain brand of ice cream that doesn't make your tummy upset? I think ice cream does the same thing to me and I absolutely love ice cream:o(

[VioletBlue]

The local ice cream truck sells a Blue Bunny ice cream on a stick that is gluten-free. Tastes great. Blue Bunny is pretty well known for their accurate labeling and gluten-free products.

I wouldn't use it because it doesn't state the source of the modified food starch. I agree on Breyers. Look at this list instead. No stabilizers, thickeners etc. I'd just add my own sprinkles.

Remember, Blue Bunny has a policy that if any ingredients contain any gluten, it will be listed in the ingredient list. If the modified food starch is not specified as from wheat, it is not from wheat. I love Blue Bunny because they are very clear on this policy
