Safeway Brand Rice Chips

[2Boys4Me]

Hi,

I've been letting my newly diagnosed son have (Canada) Safeway brand rice chips (cheese flavoured) and then last night I woke up in a panic and ran downstairs to check the ingredients.

They have things that don't seem to be suspicious except artificial flavour. Safeway's gluten-free list had rice cakes, but not rice chips as gluten-free and I didn't compare the labels when I was at the store.

I am freaking out about inadvertently contaminating him, because he has no overt symptoms. He had anemia and is a bit underweight and that's how we finally found out.

Also, I've been reading cross contamination threads here, about getting separate utensils, cutting boards, etc. but the lady at the Celiac Association here (who has celiac disease) says just to wash things well.

I don't know what to do. I will go away now and quietly resume panicking.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I would suggest calling them Monday to find out, and take a deep breath because the best you can do is find out, you can't go back and change anything in the past. It will be alright.
