Thanks for visiting our web site.

We understand how important it is for people who have been medically

diagnosed with gluten

sensitivity to have accurate information about foods to help plan their

meals and diets.

Therefore, it has been a long standing policy for all Kraft and Nabisco

products to list items that

contain gluten on the package ingredient statement. These items will be

listed using commonly

known terms such as Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye. For other ingredients that

contain gluten, the

grain source will be declared in parenthesis after the ingredient name. For

example, if the

ingredient 'natural flavor' contains a gluten source, the label would read:

natural flavor (contains

rye) Other ingredients that contain gluten are: Triticale, Spelt, Kamut, Mir

or Farina (also known

as Far or Farro).

For Kraft products that contain Vinegar, information from our vinegar

suppliers assures us that

the vinegar we use in our products is gluten free. All vinegar is distilled

and through the

distilling process protein is removed.

If you would like additional information or to view our Gluten Fact Sheet

please visit our

website, www.kraftfoods.com and type gluten in the "Search Kraft" box.

I hope this assist you in making food choices that are appropriate for your

personal needs. If you

have additional questions about your personal dietary needs, please consult

your doctor or a

registered dietitian.

What is gluten?

Gluten is a mixture of plant proteins that occurr in grain. A small percentage of the population have an intolerance or allergy to foods containing these proteins.

Which of your products contain gluten?

We are sorry to inform you that we do not have a source that lists the gluten content of our products. However, our product labels list common allergens; such as wheat, for those allergic to wheat gluten.

That funny! If they only knew how many people really have an intolerance and might stop buying thier foods they might put together a list!!

Thank you for your interest in BUSH'S products. As of this date, all of our BUSH'S BEST products are gluten-free with the exception of our BUSH'S BEST Chili Beans products and BUSH'S CHILI MAGIC line.

We do use cornstarch in some of our products (these include all Baked Beans products, Chili Beans, and Chili Magic products), but it does not contain gliadin gluten from wheat, barley, or rye grains, which may cause adverse responses in persons suffering from Celiac Sprue.

I hope this information is helpful. Please keep in mind that we are constantly expanding our product line and may add new products that contain gluten. In order to ensure that a product is gluten free, please call our office at 865-558-5445 and speak to one of our Consumer Relations representatives.

      @Theresa2407, My Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFD), now called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), cleared up, resolved, after supplementing with Thiamine B1 and Riboflavin B2.  "Specifically, higher intakes of vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 were negatively associated with the risk of NAFLD. Consequently, providing adequate levels of Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2 in the daily diets of postmenopausal women could potentially serve as a preventive measure against NAFLD." Association between dietary intakes of B vitamins and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10621796/ High-dose vitamin B1 therapy prevents the development of experimental fatty liver driven by overnutrition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7988776/

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community @colinukcoeliac! I am in the USA but I don't think it is any different here in my experience. In some large cities there are dedicated gluten free restaurants where only gluten free ingredients are found. However, there are a growing number of mainstream eatery chains that advertise gluten free menu items but they are likely cooked and prepared along with gluten containing foods. They are just not set up to offer a dedicated gluten free cooking, preparation and handling environment. There simply isn't space for it and it would not be cost effective. And I think you probably realize that restaurants operate on a thin margin of profit. As the food industry has become more aware of celiac disease and the issue of cross contamination I have noticed that some eateries that used to offer "gluten free" menu items not have changed their terminology to "low gluten" to reflect the possibility of cross contamination.  I would have to say that I appreciate the openness and honesty of the response you got from your email inquiry. It also needs to be said that the degree of cross contamination happening in that eatery may still allow the food they advertise as gluten free to meet the regulatory standards of gluten free advertising which, in the USA is not more than 20ppm of gluten. And that is acceptable for most celiacs and those who are gluten sensitive. Perhaps you might suggest to the eatery that they add a disclaimer about cross contamination to the menu itself.

      This is a very common source of frustration within the celiac community. Many restaurants, including large chain restaurants, now offer a "gluten-free" menu, or mark items on their menu as gluten-free. Some of them then include a standard CYA disclaimer like what you experienced--that they can't guarantee your food will be gluten-free. Should they even bother at all? This is a good question, and if they can't actually deliver gluten-free food, should they even be legally allowed to make any claims around it?  Personally I view a gluten-free menu as a basic guide that can help me order, but I still explain that I really have celiac disease and need my food to be gluten-free. Then I take some AN-PEP enzymes when my food arrives just in case there may be contamination. So far this has worked for me, and for others here. It is frustrating that ordering off a gluten-free menu doesn't mean it's actually safe, however, I do feel somewhat thankful that it does at least signal an awareness on their part, and an attempt to provide safe food. For legal reasons they likely need to add the disclaimer, but it may also be necessary because on a busy night, who knows what could happen?

      That is a very old study that concludes "Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of CD patients", and I've not seen any substantive studies that support the idea that corn would be a risk for celiacs, although some people with celiac disease could have a separate intolerance to it, just like those without celiac disease might have corn intolerance.
