Question About Progresso Soup

I saw on the Progresso site the list of soups that are gluten free. I'm curious why some of the others that don't have gluten ingredients aren't on the list. I have 2 different chicken and rice varieties that arent on the list. There is food starch listed but the allergy statement only says contains soy. They both have a no added MSG statement. Any thoughts as to why these aren't gluten free?

Some companies do testing or take other special measures for those products that they claim as gluten-free on the label. Other products which do not contain any gluten may lack a "gluten-free" label because they have not been tested.

That make sense. I guess I'm curious as to why progresso would take that step for some soups and not others that don't seem to have gluten ingredients. I'm specifically looking at the Creamy Roasted Chicken Wild Rice and the Chicken and Wild Rice. The varieties they list as gluten-free on their site don't necessarily carry at gluten-free label on the cans (like the Chicken Rice w/ Vegetables). Now I could assume it's the wild rice that could be problematic but again the allergy statement for these soups does not list wheat, just soy or soy and milk (the creamy roasted one).

I'm just having a hard time trying to find a soup that I can trust to eat. My local store doesn't stock most of the Progresso varieties they list on their site as gluten-free.

I believe the Progresso Chicken & Wild Rice used to carry the gluten-free label but no longer does. I have no idea why they took it off that list except they no longer feel comfortable labeling it gluten-free.

Wild rice should not be a problem.

Do you have a local Wal-Mart? They have a good many Progresso soups but not all, of course. While it's convenient to use prepared soups at times, there's nothing that beats homemade so I keep a stash of single serving sizes in my freezer when I make a batch of soup.

Thanks Sylvia! I was able to find 3 or 4 different gluten-free labeled Progressos at Walmart. I was surprised not to find them at my Wegmans which is known for having a great variety of products. I happily enjoyed a gluten-free Progresso creamy potato and broccoli soup for lunch. :D

Someone wrote Progresso and they can't guarantee the soups not labeled gluten-free are not CC.

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      As of July 2025, Blistex is no longer gluten free for their five star protection lip balm The last ingredient is WHEAT!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
