What Is Up With Kraft

[Braunson's-mom]

I thought that Kraft foods are supposed to label all modified food starch with wheat ,corn, etc. I went out and bought pudding snacks made by Kraft and they say modified food starch. I gave them to my son and some flavors made him sick. Are there wheat starch in pudding or was it something else? I am afraid to give it to him again.

Kraft is one of the brands that will not hide any form of gluten in their label. So if a 'natural flavoring' is derived from wheat, it should be on the label. Could he have trouble with dairy or lactose? Maybe it was a delayed reaction to something else? Sometimes I have issues even when there is no gluten in sight. I guess there is always a risk for contamination. I can't find it right now, but there is a website that lists recent contamination, recalls and mislabeling for food products...

Kraft will list wheat,rye,barley,oats clearly on the label. If it does not have 1 of those 4 ingredients than it is safe. It will not hide anything even under otherwise questionable ingredients.

Maybe your son is reacting to something else in the pudding like dairy. Many people with celiac disease have trouble with dairy products and some of the symptoms are similar to celiac disease.

If you think it made him sick, I would not give ti to him again. But you sure it was not somthing else? Gluten reactions often take place hours later. Maybe dairy? Cassin? corn? Myabe a food from earlier?
