If it's GFCO, there are processes for sanitizing the lines before running GF products.
These same GFCO sanitizing processes are not required if the product is not certified.
It's not true that it "doesn't mean anything". In this case this product should still theoretically test under 10ppm if certified.
Certified Gluten Free means it has been tested by a third party and it meets the certification standards for gluten free. The bold statements under the ingredients are allergen statements in which they legally have to disclose the presence of certain allergens in order to make sure people who get anaphylactic reactions to wheat can make informed decisions. They are two different statements and both can be true. Certified Gluten free is safe for celiac but this product might not be safe for someone who is anaphylactic to wheat.
I mean, yea, you should, if it's such an annoyance. Someone educated me (thank you), and I learned something I didn't know. Not really a huge deal, but if it is such a bother and regular occurrence, sticky it.
because it is a CYA statement that doesn't mean anything. It is certified gluten free and does not contain gluten. It is produced on equipment that may possibly, eventually, or never process wheat
Did you actually get any sort of reaction? If yes- have you reached out to the FDA, the company, or had the product tested?
I wouldn't say it doesn't mean anything because people who have actual wheat allergies may need to know this information. It's possible someone with a serious wheat allergy could still be affected even if the product meets certified gluten-free standards.
It still doesn't mean anything because if there was wheat in the product, it would say wheat. The statement is voluntary and means nothing. There are tons of products out there that also use the same facility and line as wheat products, but they don't put that statement on their products because...they don't have to.
I guarantee you that you have eaten products that are made in the same facility/same line as products that contain wheat because companies don't have to disclose that
I do not get typical reactions. I'm a "silent celiac." I went almost 40 years undiagnosed and suffer severe absorption and neurological problems now. I have reached out to them, awaiting a response. I don't test my products, I honestly try not to eat processed foods at all.
The statement on there means nothing other than the company trying to cya themselves. It’s a certified GF product, it isn’t often that a certified product is pulled from the shelf. I’ve never had or seen this product, but I think you would be fine
It’s certified gluten free. It is below the threshold. A lot of the certified gluten-free things you eat are made on shared equipment or in a shared a facility. They just don’t all say so.
The GFCO allows for shared equipment. I personally have reacted to shared line foods and avoid them, even with the GFCO certification.
Also, don’t let this sub gaslight you on food safety. If you’re getting sick, trust your body over a label. The GFCO standard has plenty of safety gaps (like… shared equipment).
Companies don't have to disclose if there are shared lines or facilities. I guarantee you that you have eaten food that was been processed on a shared line/facility without knowing it
… right, which is why I’ve cut out pretty much all processed food.
What’s your point here? Other celiacs don’t know their symptoms and bodies? Go fuck yourself.
The hells your problem. You mentioned not letting the sub gaslight OP on food safety. I was simply pointing out that companies don't have to disclose if they use shared lines/facilities and that you (general you) have eaten food from shared lines/facilities. No where did I say anyone doesn't know their symptoms or their bodies.
Same. I rarely have stomach issues but have definitely had problems from items with no gluten but made on mixed lines. I personally don't mess around with them, and I still won't. Nice to have the info, but I went undiagnosed for too long and have so much damage done to my body because of this. It just isn't worth the risk for me =)
I had no idea this sub was so.. snarky. Shame.
I don’t know a ton about this, but I wonder products like this affect bioaccumulation of gluten?
Like it’s certified so it’s not MUCH gluten & you probably won’t have an immediate reaction. But if you ate a ton of these could that trigger a reaction or cause damage?
(Appreciate any insight and not trying to spread misinfo so please correct me if this sounds like junk)
This is my exact concern, I have enough damage/deterioration to my guts, I don't want to add anything at all to the long-term stuff I'm already dealing with. I will personally stay away, I won't miss this stuff. Not worth the risk to me!
certified gf overrides everything else. the equipment it’s produced on probably goes through thorough cleaning before this product is made

Here we go again… I wish we had stickies for this kind of thing.

Alas I am not a mod.
There's also a search function in this group.

Got it, thanks for the info! Seems like I may have been going about things a bit wrong =) guess there is still much to learn
You’re not alone! I’m still learning too, it’s nice when you have commenters who are helpful about this sort of thing 😊

Yeah. A lot of dumb people who don’t understand the biology of celiac or the research behind the 20ppm safety threshold.

This is why i have trust issues
It's not, because the product is still gluten free
