I was going to call them and I've seen their FAQ but I noticed that they don't mention fruit. Now some fruit is dusted with gluten -do you know if oceanspray does this? Do I have enough info. or should I call them?

Never heard of any fruit being dusted with gluten. Ocean Spray makes juices and they are gluten free. I drink the cran grape and cranapple daily.

Why would someone dust fruit with wheat? I would think that might make it spoil faster. or at the least give it a weird sliminess on the outside.

None that I have ever encountered.

Thanks. That one threw me for a loop. I've never seen gluten-dusted fruit either.

Well some dates for instance, are so coated in order to keep the fruits from sticking together as I've heard.

When wheat flour is damp it gets sticky. Think of the home made glue from kindergarten.

Dusting dates with it would be gross, I think.

dried date pieces are regularly dusted in oat flour to prevent sticking. it is, however, the only dried fruit - and fruit that is "just fruit" of any kind - I know of that is processed as such.

"...as I've heard."

Please identify the specific brand of dates and your source of evidence for that. I do not give credibility to things you "have heard," unless I know from whom you heard them.

Whether oats are gluten, in the sense used by celiacs, remains under debate.

My health food store sells chopped dates coated in oats, I don't know the brand. Much of what the sell is bought in bulk and repackaged. I think this is very common for chopped dates though.

Oats make more sense then wheat flour. In the US they have to list the ingredients so I think they would have to say oats if you have a problem with them.

Chopped Dates Rolled In Oat Flour. Ingredients: dates, oat flour

$3.29 a pound. Nuts Online.com

Open Original Shared Link

To be fair to Nuts Online, they also have gluten free stuff, including dried fruit: Open Original Shared Link

While the official Medical Inquiry as to whether or not Oats are gluten is out, oats not specifically grown in dedicated fields and handled on dedicated equipment that does not do wheat, rye, or barley may be cross contaminated. Some people do seem to react to oats altho they are not technically the same grass family at all.

As to the Ocean Spray products, call the manufacturer. The bag I have not opened yet looks safe and has Ingredients: cranberries, sugar.

I have other eaten dried cranberries that I am pretty sure I have reacted to on a hit and miss basis. These were generic packed dried cranberries, store house brands, that had Ingredients: cranberries, sugar, sunflower oil.

I am pretty sure that the sunflower oil these cranberry packers use, may not be processed in a dedicated facility. And sometimes it is difficult to find dried cranberries without that oil goo on it. Any sort of bulk item is going to have some risk to it.

I just ate raw sunflower seeds from a clean bag for the past three days, and nothing. It took me a long time to figure out that one has to be careful about sunflower seed products. Recently the retailer I bought these from, changed distributors and now I cannot use this brand as the new bags say "processed on equipment that processes wheat and soy." And these are RAW sunflower seeds.

I have never seen date pieces that are NOT coated in oat flour. Every store, every package, even those in cereals. Whole dates are an entirely different thing. (And if you've ever eaten whole dates, you know why!) So, in this case, I certainly couldn't point to a single brand, because it's every single one I've ever seen from those at Trader Joe's to SunMaid's date pieces at Safeway to the bulk stuff at Whole Foods.

Thanks, Tiffany. Dates aren't something that are part of my diet, so I don't know a lot about them.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
