Ore Ida Tator Tots

[Guest Lucy]

Does anyone know if the dextrose in these contains gluten? It says the only allergen is soy. BUT i don't want to make them unless I know for sure. The office is closed and I want to make them tonight. THANKS>

[scaredparent]

My son eats them and has never had any problem. Sorry it is kinda late for dinner. lol

[connole1056]

I know it is past dinnertime, but FYI Heinz does not list these as being gluten-free. There is a thread on Delphi forums I was just reading about this product, in case you want to read it. But if I were you I would not give them to a celiac. There are many Ore Ida products listed as gluten-free and this is not one of them.

[cdford]

FYI...Kroger's store brand is gluten-free and taste quite good.

[Guest nini]

I get the Cascadian Farms brand of tater tots and french fries in the Natural foods section at Kroger... they are organic and don't contain lots of additives and they are gluten free...

[angel-jd1]

If it isn't on the Heinz list then it's not safe. Heinz is a wonderful company and that is why they put out the list, so we know what is safe. The tater tots aren't.

I thought my wife called them about these and they were okay... I need to sak her when I get home from work...

WooHoo, Thank you for this list! I often buy Delimex taquitos for my family, now I know that I can have them, too!

[angel-jd1]

Yep those taquitos from Delimex are wonderful to have in the freezer for nights when I don't feel like cooking!!! Enjoy.

-Jessica

[connole1056]

I know this is not about the tater tots, but what is Delimex? A brand name?? I am asking because I cannot find this type of food in my area and know my daughter would like it.

[cdford]

In that Heinz product list, the first line for the ketchups looks odd. Is it the plain ketchup and the one carb or just the one carb?

[angel-jd1]

I think that should be two different lines, like ketchup, one carb ketchup etc......

-Jessica

[redheadheather]

Does anyone know exactly what in the tater tots is not OK... I thought I was really careful reading ingredients at the store and (very happily) bought some for DS... now I see this thread and they may not be OK. I'm confused -

THanks!

[elonwy]

Yeah I have some in my freezer because I only saw soy as an allergen as well and figured they were ok. What gives?

From the Heinz page...

Where can I find gluten-free products?

Heinz Ketchup does not contain any gluten (the distilled vinegar used is from corn sources). Also, Wine Vinegar, Distilled White Vinegar and Apple Cider Vinegar are gluten-free. Please note that Heinz Organic Ketchup and Apple Cider Flavored Vinegar are not gluten-free.

Heinz Hot & Spicy Ketchup Kick'rs is gluten-free as well. As for our other Heinz products, we are not able to guarantee that all ingredients would be gluten-free, since the source of an ingredient may change from time to time. We understand how difficult it can be finding foods that meet the requirements of a restricted diet, and we continue to look for ways to meet the dietary needs of our consumers.

Maybe that helps

Anyone? I tried emailing the company, but for some reason I can't get the email to go through. Guess I'll see what happened when he ate them today (they got sent w/DS's lunch today along w/the homemade chicken nuggets I made).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I would get my Delmex at Wal Mart in their freezer section. I used to love them but now my gall bladder isn't too fond of them. But they are good! And I have never had a problem with Ore-Ida tater tots. So long as you don't buy anything seasoned (like a lot of the ranch and steak fries) you shouldn't have a problem. But my husband (bless his soul) makes me seasoned fries that are perfect! email me if you want to know how.

[swittenauer]

Strange that someone would mention Delimex while I am sitting here eating Delimex taquitos. They are awesome. I eat them all the time & normally take them for my lunch. My husband is the one with Celiac & has yet to try them because I keep eating them all. Ha! You should try them.

Delimex is brand under Heinz. Here in CO, the Safeway carries them. I also know they are at Sam's Club and Costco here. There in the frozen foods section. Can't remeber exactly where.

[rweintritt]

I've seen some Delimex taquitos that list wheat as an actual ingredient, not even hidden, others seem to be fine. Any explaination? Anyone else noticed this?

I noticed that too. I would stick to the beef. The ones that were bad used wheat as a stabalizer for the flavorings. The ones without wheat are safe, and pretty darn good with salsa and sour cream.

Definatly make sure you get the ones off the list. Delime makes them out of wheat tortillas and corn tortillas. So you need to make sure you get the corn ones.

WE HAVE BEEN EATING THE TATOR TOTS, WITH NO PROBLEMS.

[jams]

Is it Dextrose or Dextrin that we need to watch for? I thought anything that rhymed with gross was sugar. Maybe I am confused????
