Malt Extract

Hi there :)

I live in Ontario, Canada and I just bought Super Fudge ice cream bars by Chapman's, a Canadian Ice Cream company. It is clearly marked on the box that the product is gluten free and in the ingredients list it has malt extract (gluten free) written exactly as I wrote it here (the gluten free is in brackets right after malt extract).

I was so excited to find fudge bars that are gluten free that I bought them and ate one for dessert. The problem now is that I know malt extract is not normally gluten free and now I'm worried that I'm going to get sick. Is it possible that the malt extract is gluten free?

Thanks for any advise that you can provide.

:)

Just a guess but if it says Gluten Free after malt extract, I suspect that the extract may not come from Barley. perhaps they can get it from sorghum or another grain that does not give us problems. Can you call the factory and find out? Kind of hard to do from Hawaii!

Thanks

Thanks for your help guys, I'll call on Monday. I'm pretty sure they should be safe, just a little worried. I'll post their response.

Thanks again!

Anything can be malted. Barley is the most common, which is why malt is on the avoid list. But if it specifically states that the malt is gluten-free I would accept that. As Karen said, rice is a possible gluten-free source of malt. It could also be corn.

I would definately call and find out what the malt extract is made of.

Are you sure the box was marked gluten free? According to Chapman's website, those bars are nut free, but NOT gluten free. If the package really is labelled gluten free then I think they made a labelling error, and should be reported to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (if they really are labelled gluten-free).

Good morning.

I called Chapman's Ice Cream this morning and asked about the malt extract. The lady said that it is derived from molasses and is totally gluten-free.

I'm very happy :D

Thanks to all that responded!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
