Amy's Mexican Rice Bowls

[sherrylynn]

I bought a Amy's mexican rice bowl and it said no gluten ingredients added but it does not say gluten free. Do you think it is ok to eat?

Sherry,

I would not recommend eating Amy's in any way shape or form. I ate Amy's pre-gluten free with no problems. I ate it after gluten free and had a bad reaction. It gave me a dizzy spell that lasted 6 hours. I've never touched Amy's again.

Yes Amy's does have gluten free meals they are known for their cross contamination. Its not worth the risk. I am not the only one who has reacted to their food.

I've only had a couple of Amy's...a pizza (overpriced and not worth it) and something with tortillas and black beans (yuck!). My tummy hurt after the tortilla thing (and that never happens to me). So for me it's simply not worth it.

I find I'm better off keeping my own home-cooked stashed of leftovers in the freezer for those times I need something quick. So no, I'll never buy Amy's again.

Well I ate it before I read any posts. had it for lunch. oh well I am only 4 days gluten free so maybe it won't mess me up too much. I feel ok right now. but I will not ever buy amy's again. and your right the pizza is over prised. at kroger they wanted 10.00 for a frozen pizza. 10.00? are you kidding me? It's doesn't even look that good.

I think they've gotten a lot better with their production. I eat the mac and cheese and rice crust pizzas all the time without issue. Don't do anything with beans b/c I don't tolerate beans well so I can' t comment on them.

I would not eat anything by Amy's. I tried their pizza one time and had severe hives the rest of the night. Yes, the food may not have wheat in it but I think the cross contamination at Amy's is a huge problem. Maybe they've gotten better but either way, I won't eat anything of Amy's. If you're looking for a good pizza, I love the Glutino brand (and it isn't $10).

We've eaten Amy's products and been okay, but just last night we had their mac and cheese and their rice noodle asian dish. My daughter got really sick on them. It made me think of a few times we've had many foods, Amy's included, and my daughter was sick but we weren't sure what got her. I'm wondering now if it was Amy's then, too

However, on their behalf? If you've been glutened, you can call them. If you still have the box, they will transfer you to a gal who will take down the lot number. They save some of each lot, and they'll send it off to be tested for gluten levels and email you the results. I found out you could do this from an old post here, and the poster said they got back to her very quickly, and reported the contamination in one of her foods, so it sounds like they are at least good about being honest about their contamination.

They're testing the two products we had, so I'm curious to see how they test!
