New Yummy Gluten Free Crackers

[takeiteasy]

Hi.

There is a new Gluten Free Cracker by Kenover Marketing Corp out of Brooklyn, NY. I called to find out if they make these on a designated line, and they do. I know of three flavors, original-onion-basil. These are really delicious and in my opinion really worth trying. I know that they will be selling these in most Kosher Food Stores in New York, but you can probably have your local store call to request that they be sold there too. The # to reach them is 718-369-4600. The box states that these are imported to the UK by S&J Sales Co. London N16DB for all of you in the UK. I paid $3 per box & there are approximately 25 crackers per box. They break easily but are delicious.

On the subject of Coffee I inquired about gluten in coffee because I am Passover observant and we do not eat gluten on Passover (other than Matzah which is made of wheat or oat). We do not eat any other foods with gluten content so it was easy for me to get this information. I was told that many coffees contain gluten especially flavored coffees. NESCAFE TASTER'S CHOICE among a few other instant- original flavored- are gluten free. Nescafe Taster's choice is marked "gluten free". If I get a list of the ones that are absolutely clean of gluten I will post it.

Glad that you found a type of cracker that will work for you !

Nescafe Taster's Choice is the best instant coffee, and having it be gluten free is just the best coincidence anyone could hope for. You can put some canned coconut milk into it and make your own flavored coffees with your own spices, it's very good and the coconut milk is very soothing. Most of the attraction of the coffee house types of drinks, are from just loading them up with too much sugar or corn syrups to make them really sweet - one of those commercial coffee drinks can have 500 or more calories in it.

Thank you, I'll be on the lookout for kosher coconut milk & I'm feeling so much less deprived knowing this. For now, I'll just add a little more sugar to my instant coffee.....

I chatted with a Nescafe representative. This is the transcript:

Hello, you are now chatting with 'Mellisa'

Mellisa: Hello! Thank you for contacting Taster's Choice. How can I assist you today?

Visitor: Hi. Your FAQ states that Nescafe taster's choice is gluten free. Is the decaf also gluten free & does it include ALL flavors?

Mellisa: I am happy to help you with that, and yes all of our flavors are gluten free.

Visitor: Ok, great. This means that your utensils and lines of manufacturing are not used ever for gluten ingredients, correct?

Mellisa: Correct, we would not label it as gluten free if there were potential for cross contamination.

Visitor: Perfect. I will post this on celiac.com for all to be advised of this.

Visitor: Thank you so much and have a great weekend.
