They have mainstream gluten free cookies!!!!!! Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chocolate chip. Did anyone know this?? Usually when a big company like that goes gluten free, I hear about it from this board but unless I completely missed it, I stood in the store with my jaw dropped. Naturally I bought them (despite the obvious cc risks that I know people will bring up), sadly...the Betty Crocker ones are better but its still awesome to know they're there!

I just looked on their online store and didn't see any gluten free cookies. I called and they said that they didn't have gluten free anything?!

Is the name Tastycake? The company out of PA that sells the snackcakes?

Thanks! :)

Wow! Those look good. Are they soft and chewy or more crispy? I can't believe that the rep. on the phone was not aware that her company made these. Jeez!

Where did you find them?

Maybe it is a test marketing ? The only thing I can find online (looked everywhere) is a pdf that is on google documents which is a Business Plus Presentation of Tastykake New Product Launch. It's an outline with no date on it. But the product is for gluten free tastykakes.

That's strange they'd try it with gluten-free cookies, when the most famous Tastykake regular items are the krimpets (a rectangular shaped frosted cupcake) and kandy cakes, which are small spongecakes "enrobed" in chocolate frosting.

If they could actually do a gluten-free krimpet people would go nuts. The facebook page was funny, they are going to sell regular tastykakes at baseball games again this year and handle the frosting issue by keeping them in coolers at the ballpark. There is a promo to win Phillies tickets for opening day. Open Original Shared Link

Astonishing. I hope they can stay in business, they're having money issues. I would kill for a gluten-free Tastykake lemon pie.

I got them in a Weis Markets in PA. They're softish...and honestly, not that great but I just was astonished that I didn't hear about it on this board before I saw it in the stores! I feel like where I was in PA wouldn't have been a very successful test market but maybe they're trying it out within a certain distance from Philly? I agree, it's strange to start it out with cookies...I'd love a krimpet!!!

One of my friends sent me an mms today with a pic of these at Shoprite in Neptune, NJ. I can't wait to get there to try them out!! Any word on if they are made in a separate facility or if they at least batch test them?

I don't know what is more annoying here, that the Tastykake website does not have them (the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies) obviously on the links to their homepage, or that once you do find them, they still don't list the ingredients.

So I've read a lot of reviews, and the dingy reviewers mostly are not saying what the ingredients are, either. I mean, come on, folks, why do you think people buy this stuff.

This person finally mentions the ingredients but does not provide a full list. 6/27/11 Gluten Free Dairy Free NJ

Good news is that they are supposedly dairy free.... bad news is that they have soy flour. <_< Hello.. what is one of the more common problems for celiacs and gluten intolerants.... somebody was not thinking on this one.

A couple of things did stand out from the package though: 1) there is no

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products...

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten.

That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.

      Is “Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour” truly gluten free?  The main ingredient is supposed to be gluten free wheat starch along with other ingredients.  However, the resulting homemade bread made with this flour so resembles homemade gluten bread that it seems Caputo must have some gluten?
