Delimex Taquitos Are No Longer gluten-free

[lisachrystine]

This is my first post, but I've found myself here many times while searching "Is [insert name of food I need to know RIGHT NOW] gluten free?" I've gotten a lot of help from all of you, thanks! I was just heating up some taquitos for the kids (I have 2 Celiacs) and thought it was about time for another verification, so I called the company and they told me that none of the Delimex taquitos are gluten free anymore. I asked why because I didn't see any questionable ingredients and I knew they used to be and she said it might be because they are on shared lines now - they did used to be gluten-free, but are not anymore. I apologize if this has been mentioned before, but everything I searched said that these were gluten free and they are not - at least according to the company. Now I have to figure out what to make for lunch - and I have a whole big Costco box of these - to feed the hubby now, I guess!

They may be the same as they have always been. Many companies that once labelled gluten-free ,but did not test for gluten, have stopped labeling them gluten-free. A legal CYA thing. Some companies have stopped labeling gluten-free until they see if and what the law may be. Which just adds to all the confusion!

I have noticed that more and more lately. Things that use to be labeled as gluten free no longer say gluten free anymore. Very annoying.

As was noted, nothing may have changed other than the lawyer's risk assessment.

If you are particularly sensitive to shared lines, certainly be cautious. But realize that they may also still be perfectly safe.

My DS7 is really sensitive to cc (we can't do Amy's products anymore - he kept getting sick). I was wondering if this might be it, but they sometimes change ingredients before they change packaging, so I guess I'll have to wait and see. We may risk it again if I start seeing everyone say they're doing ok with them still in a few months.

Maybe 5 years ago when this was posted they did not say “gluten-free”?  Products change over the years
