I answered two things that you mentioned in your reply to me. 1: that some stores DO have pre-mixed meat loaf containing breadcrumbs: you said that stores DO NOT. That is INCORRECT, because they have it at my local store. 2: I am fully aware of the practices at meat packaging plants. They process tons and tons of meat at one time and packaging things for...

Not true. My market has a pre-mixed meat loaf that DOES have bread crumbs in it. They also make crab stuffed sole, which also has breadcrumbs in it. Of course that is labeled. If some ground beef accidentally came in contact with an allergen, it would NOT be labeled, it probably would have been unnoticed. MANY vacuum packed things ARE mixed and packaged...

I was wondering if cross contamination could have occurred at the packaging plant. I would research all the brand names associated with that one and see if any of them make a pre-mixed meatloaf, or other thing that might have spices or even breadcrumbs in them.

Yes, I am aware of that. I never said that a reaction to dairy or gluten free oats means the items contain gluten. Some of us cannot tolerate oats at all.

Hi Everyone: I'm new here, but not new to Celiac disease. I joined because I've had a relapse of sorts.

It's my own fault, there was warning, I hadn't had a problem with the item for years, until I started having a problem with it. I'm on the mend now...

Hello Michelle: I'm another Michelle, new to the forum, but not new to Celiac disease. When I was first diagnosed, back in 2000, I was 150 pounds overweight. I lost 75 pounds rather quickly as soon as I stopped eating gluten. I also started to exercise and lost another 5, then gained back 12. I think I was just so happy and finally feeling good, that I was...

You could have gotten cross contamination from seasonings in the flavored ones if they are processed/packaged on the same lines.
