Concerns About The Lay's Stax Hidden Valley Ranch

Ok my concerns are this: The chips are said to be gluten free, however the product they are using in the chips are not. So there fore this product isnt gluten free.

This is what I copied and pasted from Hidden Valley Ranch website:

Q. Do Hidden Valley® Dressing and Dips Mixes and Hidden Valley® Bottled Dressing contain gluten?

A. Our Hidden Valley® Dressing and Dips Mixes and Hidden Valley® Bottled Dressings do not have gluten added as an ingredient, but the products may contain low levels of gluten depending on the source ingredients.

I had to actually stop using their Ranch dressing because it makes me severe sick.

I am just wondering how they can declare these chips gluten free?

The Hidden Valley dressings have nothing to do with that flavor of Lays STAXX chips. The Lays STAXX chips are made on a dedicated gluten free line and have different ingredients then the dressings and mixes from Hidden Valley. I don't think the information about the chips would even be on the Hidden Valley site.

Wow quick reply and thanks

The concerns are , they even show the bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing on their chip bottle.

So that means they are using Hidden Valley Ranch dressing in them chips. Right?

They are listed here as gluten free with this warning *The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected.

However, Lays Stax are apparently on separate lines, so it doesn't make sence that they would have that warning for the Stax too. Confusing stuff... If you are still unsure maybe call the company. Or maybe someone here has already asked the company about them. I personally don't eat lays stuff.

No Carrie I havnt tryed the chips since I seen that they had the bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch on them. Since it makes me sick just seeing the bottle makes me cringe lol

I was told they are the same as the other staxx(made on a dedicated line). They do not have the same ingredients as in the dressings. Just because it has the picture of the bottle does not mean it has the same ingredients. :D

LOL well I figured that Hidden Valley Ranch was in them since they have it displayed on the chip bottle.

Thats why I had some concerns because if indeed Hidden Valley Ranch was in the chips then they would not be gluten free.

Yeah, I bet they just use that name but the ingredients could be totally different. If it makes you feel any better I'm not crazy about the ranch ones anyways. I like the sour cream and onion and the cheddar cheese better! ;)

Another question on the Staxx....I noticed that the bbq flavor (which was really yummy) had a "this product is naturally gluten free" lable on it, but the pizza flavor did not. I assume that they are *all* gluten-free if they are made on a dedicated line, but is there a reason why they wouldn't put the lable on some flavors?

Yes, some of them have that label on it and some do not but they are all made on the dedicated line

Why can't they just be consistent with their labeling ;)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
