Is There A *truely* Gf Potatoe Chip?

[anerissara]

I have managed to gluten myself with potatoe chips on more than one occation . The last time, I checked the label of Kettle Chips (I think it was some kind of cheese flavor) and it looked quite safe, and I ate a lot of them. I felt really sick several days later and couldn't figure out why. The next time I looked at the lable on the chips they had very nicely added "This product is not gluten free" right there below the ingredients! I still saw nothing I'd have picked up on listed, so at least they were nice enough to warn you.

My question is: does anyone know of an ultra-safe chip? Preferrably one with some sort of flavor involved? I'd especially love to find one made on a gluten-free dedicated line, as I'm wondering how much cross-contamination has been building up and causing me grief.

Thanks! I'm getting really sick of plain corn chips.

Lays STAXX....they are made on a dedicated gluten free line.

[anerissara]

Oh, yea! Do they come in different flavors (I'm missing cheese flavored chips!).

Thanks, Kaitie...you are always so helpful when it comes to finding gluten-free products!!!

[KaitiUSA]

They come in multiple flavors....pizza,sour cream&onion, BBQ, original....I don't know if I am missing any...there may be more.

I've always found chips to be a easy call so to speak. Usually, they are just potato's, salt, and some oil...

Now that you brought up cross contamination I'm getting worried...

Kaitausa,

I haven't heard of "staxx" what is it?

Is it just a variety of "Lays"?? (I eat Lays pototo chips all the time)

thanks

The Lays Staxx are kind of like pringles and they come in a container similar to pringles. They are really good.

I also eat other Lays chips all the time.

Basically with everything you eat that is made at a facility where they have wheat and all there will be a chance for cross contamination.

However, there are so many gluten free products that are made within those facilities...if we cut them out because of them possibly being contaminated then I don't think we would be left with many choices because alot of brands are like that.

There is a cheddar cheese flavor of the Lays Stax.

...and they're definitely safe...dedicated lines and have gluten-free written on the side of the container near the ingredients list.

I think baked lays contain gluten?? I never let my son get those because one time I thought there was gluten. I never triple check myself, so I could be wrong. Am I?

I thought Lay's baked ruffles chips were okay. Look at this response posted online. Kind-of confusing... What do they mean only the "regular flavoring" of these chips is okay....and then they list chips with flavoring ???

PS--Anyone eat baked Kettle chips. I used to looove them, but they told me that couldn't say whether their chips were really gluten-free or not. I always hate that response

I once had a nasty reaction to lays regular Stax and I thought it was gluten but I'm beginning to think it was a dairy contamination rather than a gluten one. My reactions to dairy are quite bad sometimes. All the stax are gluten free and are produced on dedicated lines (at least the ones in the US are anyway), however, they are not all DAIRY free... so... they would be dairy contaminated. Therefore, the moral of my story is don't eat them if you have severe reactions to dairy

Cape Cod Chips also make some gluten free varieties. Their plain chips are gluten-free, along with some jalapeno ones. They are made on dedicated lines and are really good!! Here is their web site:

I have also had the Staxx ~ they are really good!!

[Guest gfinnebraska]

P.S. Make sure you ask them (Cape Cod Chips) which ones are gluten-free ~ not all of their chips are!!

[celiac3270]

The Baked Lays are theoretically gluten-free, but subject to possible contamination.

Jenvan... I think they mean the regular baked lays ruffles are gluten-free, as in there might be some other "flavor" like... cheddar cheese lays ruffles or sour cream and onion flavored baked ruffles, etc.
