Enjoy Life Cookies - Reformulated

Just spotted the first of Enjoy Life's reformulated cookies in the grocery store today (Fairway in NYC). Bought a box of the Chocolate Chip and while I already thought the old ones were very good and it doesn't look like the ingredients have changed much, they are noticeably better!

Great! That's good to hear!

HOoray! I saw some of the new ones on sale yesterday *with* a coupon attached :D but I didn't buy it because I'd tried them before and didn't like them much...I may have to go run and pick some up now!

Did they end up adding oats to them? I did a survey a while back for Enjoy Life and they were asking in the survey about whether Oats were considered gluten free. I told them no because some celiacs (myself included) react to oats. I hope they did not add oats to their products. Glad to hear they are better though.

No oats, at least in the new Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate Brownie formulas. Those are the only two I saw at the store, which was still stocking the old versions of Enjoy Life's other flavors. I react to oats as well, so let's hope the steered clear of them entirely!

Beware (LOL)! When you open the box and only eat one, a little voice commands you to keep coming back for more. The REALLY are that good and I don't have a sweet tooth.

Good job with the re-formulation Enjoy Life. So moist too.

I've always liked the gingerbread flavored cookies they have, but I am leery to buy them since I bought a box and the cookies were hard on two occasions.

I realize a lot of gluten-free products do not have the shelf life or preservatives of other products. Knowing this, maybe the company should mark a clear "best by ....date" on them???

I recently saw some Enjoy Life cookies on sale at Whole Paycheck, so I bought choc. chip and chocolate brownie. I gobbled the choc chip ones up! Great improvement. However, the choc brownie ones were not flavorful enough to be worth the calorie density to me. I'd rather eat a brownie.

Bought a box of the Snickerdoodles. They taste the same to me. I just love them!

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
