Has Anyone Volunteered With Feed My Starving Children?

Not sure where to post this, but since it's the ingredients I'm concerned with here we go...

Just wondering if anyone has volunteered with Feed My Starving Children and experienced any negative reactions. (Feed My Starving Children packs food to be sent to areas in need)

Looking at the list of ingredients that get packaged it looks like it should be ok, but as always I'm a little paranoid.

Thank you!

Are the foods already packaged? My hub's work packs the weekend backpack meals for kids. Everything is individually wrapped when we buy it. For example juice boxes, canned tuna, applesauce cups. If you have to scoop up flour and re-package it into smaller bins, I wouldn't do that.

I did this just last weekend! I didn't have any problems, but I wasn't actually scooping the food -- I was sealing the packages and packing the boxes. The ingredients are rice, veggies, chicken and soy. I'm really sensitive to any gluten and have very bad DH but I was fine. Good luck! It's a great organization to support :)

WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION!!!  There are jobs you can do that do not involve working with the food.  Just let them know when you get there.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
