Why Do Dried Beans Say, "may Contain Soy & Wheat"?

Are they packaged with them or on the same belt? What do dried beans and wheat have to do with each other? I get these for free with WIC and so we use a lot of dried beans, also because they are very healthy for you so I will be sad to have to stop getting those as well as the tortilla's, wheat bread and dairy products we get for free. Our budget cannot take anymore expenses!

I might be wrong but I would think dried beans would be ok if you rinse them really well.

Just pick them over and rinse them well. They will be fine. I have found an occasional grain of some sort in split peas and lentils. Why can't you get tortillas? I don't know if WIC gives you Mission brand, but their corn tortillas are made on a dedicated line.

It sounds like they may be processed in a facility which also processes soy and wheat. Since dry beans should be sorted and rinsed well anyway, I'd like to think they'd be ok after that. But if you notice problems, then the choice is obvious.

Because I have one child who is anaphylactic to corn. :) Oh good times in our family LOL

It's good to know we can rinse them and be fine, we do have some good things to make with beans!

Oh, wow. Corn is almost harder to avoid than gluten. You must cook a lot! In this state you can get brown rice on the WIC package instead of bread or tortillas. Is that an option where you live?

Ya, I get the brown rice and grind it up for flour to make bread with as we don't particularly like brown rice itself, so it really doesn't go to waste :) We make our own rice tortilla's and they are good when fresh.

Oh, and I do cook a lot! LOL My only real complaint is our tiny, "weekend warrior cook" kitchen, I need a large, gourmet kitchen where I can really spread out and cook! I sometimes will have 3-4 different things cooking/baking at one time and be in there for hours. :)

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
