Mccain Frozen Potato Products In Canada

[jlee2]

Hi all, new to the forum but not to celiac. First post here so here goes;

Has anyone has any luck obtaining info from McCain (specifically the products produced in Canada). I have searched the website but the Canadian website isn't as informative as the US one. I have emailed about 3 times with no response. I was specifically looking for gluten containing ingredients in the Superfries, hashbrowns, and hashbrown patties. Thank you !

I have wondered the same thing - can't find the info. I like fries occassionally - at this point I get some at a New York Fries when I find one (rarely) !!!

I will continue to email McCain and will try calling them next week. I love oven fries!!

So I actually just called and got a prerecorded "all line are currently busy" but instead of putting me on hold the only option they gave was to leave a message or check out their useless website. I left a message.

They called back and gave the statement " we advise you to read the ingredients on each product, if gluten is not listed then it is not an ingredient used. We do produce gluten containing products on the same lines however we do an allergen washdown in between " we cannot guarantee our products have not been contaminated " "

I know this is quite old but for their hashbrowns it has wheat flower. Im not sure about any other products.

So, read the label, and if you don't see a gluten grain listed, then it is not an intentional ingredient.

Of course, contamination can occur at any point on the supply chain to any ingredient in any product, whether "shared lines" are used or not.

Which hashbrowns? I am curious about their breakfast potatoes - potato pancakes which essentially are just breakfast hashbrowns with seasoning. They don't list wheat from what I can see.
