Kirkland Organic Meat, Crosscontamination?

We like Coscto and their products. We are asking if anyone has had reactions to using their organic hambuger by Kirkland, it is a newer brand for the meat. We switched and have been having issues. We have a son, who is very sensitive, and he had reactions. We eliminated other sources, and reintroduced the meat again. The only product reintroduced to him, and then he had a reaction. I am in the process of contacting the company. Again, we appreciate costco and all they do, as they offer gluten-free items in their store. We are interested to see if anyone else had reactions to prodcuts by kirkland. Greatly appreciate the feedback. We also were trying to discover about their spices, but have left them out for the meantime.

On a side note, we also discoverd, Spice World Garlic in oil, has cc issues with soy. For those who react to soy as well.

Thank you again, this board is a life line at times.

Are you talking about the organic ground beef (apx 1 1/3 lb pscksge) sold in three packs linked together or hamburger patties?

We used the ground beef and I was fine - but I'm not super sensitive.

If they have premade patties I haven't tried those.

THe organic beef sold in the butcher case, not frozen. They use to sell Thousand HIlls, which were grass fed, I believe. THe new meat is grain fed, by Kirkland. Same price, very different product. I did send a note, and called. However, the assistance at the call center was not too helpful. I wanted to know if the meat was processed on its own line, and ground on its own line. THe gal tried to help , but shared she had 10 pages to go through and would take alot of time, however, 20 seconds later, she shared, she didn't think so because she didn't see anything written. That was not a solid answer. Thank her for her time, and will try someone else at the company. We have elimanted the meat and tried a different brand that we know to be safe, see what happens. Thank you for your time and feedback

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
