Orville Redenbacher's New Chessar Cheese Microwave Popcorn

[Aniya]

So ive been doing great healing up after going gluten free a month ago. I haven't felt bad in a few weeks. Then this morning i woke up feeling it. i knew i must of had some gluten yesterday. The only new thing i had was Orville Redenbacher's (New flavor) Cheddar cheese. The only allergen listed on it is milk. I looked it up and found gluten listed from this site.

But i thought if a Con Agra Product had gluten in it it would be clearly listed. I guess its in the Natural flavorings though... It wasn't even that good tasting. Ill stick with my Smartfood White cheddar popcorn that i love.

ConAgra's policy is to clearly disclose gluten. If information from the manufacturer and information from a third party differ, I know that I would absolutely take the manufacturer's version.

FWIW, I can't see the claimed milk allergen, and that one absolutely must be disclosed under federal law. I think that Hannaford's is just wrong.

The box that im looking at right now clearly states that it contains milk.

I tried popcorn about a month after going gluten free and it did bother me. I figured there might just have been too much fiber for my tender tummy to handle.

And I made my own...plain Orville Redenbacher's jarred popcorn popped in a Presto Power Pop in my microwave after which I added olive oil and salt. That was 3 months ago and I haven't tried it since. Popcorn used to be my favorite snack.

Other kinds of popcorn I've eaten while being gluten free have been fine. But what i felt this morning was the same as how i felt every morning before i went gluten free.

Con Agra will list any gluten in the ingredient list. There is always a chance of cross contamination, though. I have to be very careful of processed foods of any kind--it can be hit or miss, depending on how sensitive you are.

I know posters on this board seem to like Con Agra because it has been said that they will list all sources of gluten. I personally would not trust Con Agra, they are the epitome of big processed food and exemplify what is wrong with factory farmed food and processing. You can start to read about them in Fast Food Nation. I will not allow anything made by any of Con Agra's brands in my house. Anyway, I digress...

More likely the problem with this product is just simple corn cross contamination (anywhere from the fields to the packaging plants) or some sort of reaction to the milk or one of the chemicals, food colorings or "flavorings" added to the product. Sorry it made you sick.
