Searching For Safe Dried Fruit And Nuts


EmmaW

Recommended Posts

EmmaW Newbie

I am recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. I've been clearing out my pantry and have had trouble finding a few safe items. I love dried fruit and nuts but they always seem to be cross contaminated. I used to buy them in the bulk bins for from natural food stores. I haven't found any safe ones yet. Whole foods prepackages list wheat containing facilities. Can they be found in stores or must they be ordered online? Looking for raisins, dried cranberries, dried pineapple, nuts and seeds. Any help?

Craisins (Oceanspray) are gluten free. But beware of their trail mix: (from their website) "Based on documentation from our ingredient suppliers, our other beverages, Craisins

Mariani Nut Company is safe--I have spoken to them on the phone. Here in Jersey, they are available at a few of the regular grocery stores in the produce section.

I have eaten dried mangos and nuts from nuts dot com. They have a great gluten free variety.

Yup. Nuts.com is where I get mine. Also nut butters. They have lots of gluten-free stuff; candies, baking goods, jelly beans & so on.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
