    You had to be there... I don't think you met Sam

    It has been a long time since this topic was active, but there may be a silly resurrection in the wind.

    Rice is inherently gluten-free. No worries.

    "Plus, a known gluten containing ingredient Soy is clearly labeled on package." Wrong. Soy is not a source of gluten, although some have an intolerance to it. Gluten comes from only three grains: wheat, rye and barley.

    No news here. Every mainstream manufacturer will give the same legal disclaimer that they "cannot guarantee" anything. This is a legal defence, and does not in any way mean "contains gluten" or that it is unsafe for people with celiac disease. ETA: Since January 1, 2006, foods packaged for sale in the US that contain wheat must, by federal law...

    This topic, which was revived today, is more that ten years old. Most of the original participants have not visited the board in many years. FYI

    Whey is derived from milk, and is gluten-free. It is casein, i.e. dairy protein.

    Potato chips are usually gluten-free. If there is a concern, it is in an added flavor. I haven't seen a problem except for some BBQ flavors, and even then rarely. Wheat must be declared on the label in Canada and the USA. Rye and Barley do not need to be declared in the US, but in practice they are not hidden. That leaves dextrose which is a pure sugar and...

    As Karen said, any known gluten-containing ingredient means that the gluten must be clearly disclosed on a Canadian label. I can't imagine how there could be accidental contamination of such a product.

    FDA rules on spices: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.22 https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=182.10 Grains can not be included. Section 101.22(a)(2) says, in part, "except for those substances which have been traditionally regarded as foods." That would cover grains.

    I don't eat chocolate often, but I have never had a gluten reaction to Toblerone. I trust it to be gluten-free.

    Fine in my experience--never had a problem with them. My wife can't get her mind around mixing chocolate with peanut butter, so all the more for me.

    It does not matter what the animal eats. The meat is absolutely gluten-free. Same goes for milk from any ruminants, including cows. Gluten can not pass from the digestive tract into the tissue or the milk. There have been suggestions that in humans gluten can pass into breast milk, but we have a very different digestive tract.
  14. psawyer
    Yes, I agree.

    And keep in mind that our furry friends get it on their feet and track it all over the house. If this litter is in use, it will be everywhere. The suggestions for disposable gloves and masks are excellent.

    Late response, but all variations of Crest and Colgate are gluten-free, and available everywhere.

    Guinness is something I still miss. I don't know of any gluten-free beer that is even close.

    The posts reflect the time zone in your user settings. If you have not set one, or are not logged in, the default is California time, since the board is based in Santa Rosa, CA. A quote will show the time zone of the member who quoted the post. I post in Eastern time, but if somebody in Chicago quotes me, the time in the quote will be Central time.

    If you are pouring your your wine into a glass, and it is not full: If you think the glass is half full, you are an optimist. If you think it is half empty, you are a pessimist. If you believe that the glass is the wrong size, you are an engineer!

    Yay! There is life in the world of psillies!

    Indeed, this place has become a ghost town. Maybe we can get something started again.

    The Canadian Celiac Association lists cellulose as a safe ingredient in food. It is also listed here as safe. I'm not saying you could not have a problem with cellulose, but if you do it has nothing to do with gluten.
  24. psawyer
    Correct. None of the ingredients listed could conceal gluten.

    Modified potato starch does not contain wheat or any other grain--the sole starch used is potato. No other food is added, but enzymes or other chemicals may be used in the process.
