Hydrolysed Wheat?

[CourtneyLee]

So, I've been eating original rice crackers by the brand fantastic. The incredients has in it, soy sauce powder [contains soy, hydrolysed wheat (gluten free)]. How can something that contains wheat be gluten free?

Perhaps they are allowed to do that because they test below a certain level, I don't know for sure but do know for sure that I wouldn't eat them.

I too have started avoided anything like this. At first ( a few months ) thought that the kitchen - bathroom "gluten free" might be okay but the longer I'm avoiding it the more I discover the "gluten-free" but wheat derived isn't helping. So many products (esp bathroom) have some crazy latin-science language that doesn't resemble "gluten" that I now avoid anything that looks, smells, feels gluten-free unless it comes from a gluten-free factory. I test products from a production line / manufacturer once. If I'm not sure about the consequences I take it off my unwritten 'list'. I have an problem ( 4 months gluten-free with companies that stock gluten containing and then see on the gluten-free shelf)I have converted to cooking a lot more at home as much as I dislike washing dishes

It's not gluten free. The manufacturer is using a dodge, claiming that the processing is rendering it gluten free, but it isn't. Same way that some of the Europeans use highly modified "codex" wheat starch in their gluten free goods, then they have a lot of people reacting, and wonder why the percentage of celiacs who respond to the diet isn't perfect.

wiki on what is hydrolyzed vegetable protein

Open Original Shared Link

Acid-hydrolyzed vegetable protein, or HVP,[1] is produced by boiling cereals or legumes, such as soy, corn, or wheat, in hydrochloric acid and then neutralizing the solution with sodium hydroxide. The acid hydrolyzes, or breaks down, the protein in vegetables into their component amino acids. The resulting dark coloured liquid contains, among other vegetable based amino acids, glutamic acid. It is used as a flavor enhancer in many foods.

I was using cosmetics that used wheat germ oil where the gluten was supposed to be removed. Fine til 2 months or so gluten-free, then my eyes started swelling.

No more.....

If you get the right mix of bacteria, hydrolyzed wheat can have the gluten broken down to where it's below 20ppm, and sometimes below the level of detection entirely.

I am concerned about traces of gluten in foods like that and it's not hard to find rice crackers without anything derived from wheat. I would find another brand.
