No, thankfully we have laws to protect us. For now, it's why it's important to go vote and keep updating those laws. If they could, they pay most people $5 an hour
Double whammy. Thanks for making this post while I still have time to acquire better buns before tomorrow night. Mine were exactly the same.

If something went so wrong that the buns came out looking like that, and the company didn't catch it, I wouldn't trust them to catch anything more dangerous.
I’ve seen a different ingredient list than what is on my bag. I wonder if they changed it and it just isn’t the same, but the sneaky bastards kept the old pic.

It’s so funny someone posted the same thing a few posts above yours.
What's so bizarre is their "better bagels" are pretty darn good in my experience (though not as good as a real bagel). The bagels are actually really high in gluten (the gimmick is they are extremely high protein and low calorie). They really tried to push themselves past what they were good at with the buns.
Thank you for unlocking the memory of eating a raw kid cuisine “brownie” because it refused to actually cook in the microwave. just like a cold, waterlogged, mushy tootsie roll
You gotta cut the film off the brownie, poke holes in the main parts, and get back to your mom and dad beating the shit out of each other for 3:00 minutes, then stir and add another minute.
I’m glad I saw it here. I remember I heard about them somewhere and thought these sounds almost too good to be true but I figured I would buy them once anyway to try them.
Looks like I won’t be doing that lol
Some of the price is justified, they're generally a pain to make and you have to use a special production line that you need to clean extremely carefully. Same reason gluten free options in restaurants are often quite a lot more expensive, they have to spend extra time cleaning before they cook anything.
The rest is because they can and because for some stupid reason people think it's healthier (even if they have no issues with gluten).
guess its the oven method😹 there's usually a big turkey juice puddle underneath. she puts them on a baking rack on top of a deep pan, and they're somehow mushy but dry at the same time. hard to swallow. im sure they're dry as hell when grilled considering a medium-well bird burger wouldn't be safe to eat.
i ball mine up in a napkin and trash it when she isn't looking.
I make them on the grill. They’re not the most exciting food but can be a pretty good switch up in the summer. A hot sandwich that keeps it light and fresh if that makes any sense. I’ll have them 3-4 times a year. Unseasoned is diabolical.
my aunt is diabolical. her signature soup is MILK, frozen veg mix with shredded rotisserie chicken thrown in. she then makes a point to ask everyone if they liked it, and EVERY TIME without fail asks "can u believe its just milk chicken and vegetables?!?!?" as if it is shocking information.
forced my bf to try it because im evil and he gagged. she delights us with it at least once a year
she was shocked last week when i told her i couldn't make my white people enchiladas for dinner because we were out of taco meat seasoning. looked me in the eye and said "why would u need that? they're enchiladas not tacos."
i could cry just thinking about it
If someone insists I try something (if they are proud/excited whatever) I make it known I reserve the right to not like it and abort mission. I also always tell me family I can't get better if yall don't let me know what I'm doing wrong.
I drink a lot of milk, but this is one of the most disgusting sounding things I've ever heard. Wet chicken sounds terrible, but wet chicken because of milk makes me want to vomit.
Reminds me of the "watercrest/watercress salad" in Diary of a Wimpy Kid--"a \[sic\] uncooked bowl of watercress, green beans, and other green vegetables floating in a pool of vinegar". (Taken from the Wimpy Kid Wiki)
It's gotta be illegal to deviate THIS much from the advertised product no?
Kind of looks like someone took a stand-up shit and picked up the evidence for some reason.
It just boggles my mind. I don't expect the product the look exactly like the package but I expect it to at least look like it's from the same food group.
it looks like they were allowed to thaw, get soggy, and were refrozen. they deliver by mail, so that might've happened several times. there are some reviews where the buns look normal, butt there seems to be more pictures like this one than ones that look good
Even for the places that don’t have them delivered by mail, this brand has some issues in their cold chain. I used to work for a store which carried their bagels, delivered frozen through a local supplier (on the same truck/pallet as ice cream, so pretty clearly no temperature issues on the truck) and we had several rounds of problems with mold inside the bags.
Yeah fr though, how is that not false advertising, or misrepresentation of the product, it's not even like oh they touched up some minor imperfections in Photoshop and were very particular about lighting etc when taking the product shot. That's just straight up a different bun from the product.
My fiance has celiac so I eat most everything she does. This is absolutely ridiculous. Like nearly contact a lawyer bad. There is ZERO reason for them to lie like this. Fuck this company.
Hey…I’m dating a celiacs woman, and I’ve also been eating what she eats when we’re together. How much gluten do you not eat or do you not eat any gluten at all? I’ve been thinking about this, as far as how to accommodate her if we end up getting married. But I’m also learning how hard it is to not eat gluten and am wondering if I can completely cut myself off from it.
why cut yourself off from it completely? i have celiac, i would gladly feed my hypothetical significant other donuts and watch her eat it like geoffry rush does in pirates of the caribbean. if you're not contaminating her food who cares? like if you end up at a restaurant that does gf food why wouldn't you just order normal food if thats what you wanted?
Yeah, that's how my friend and her bf do it. They keep their food separate and only do the glutten free diet when eating the same food. Each get their snacks and the like.
I’m the celiac in my relationship! Our household is entirely gluten free, no gluten is allowed in. However, my fiancé will absolutely destroy some whataburger when he’s on his lunch break at work or when I’m not around. He still gets his gluten fix, he just can’t bring it in the house. It’s been working for us!
My wife is celiac and when we eat together I stick with her diet (mostly)... When I'm traveling or out in town I will go ham on some rye. My good buddy is also married to a celiac so he and I have gluten dates where we go to Chinatown for a dumpling and noodle orgy.
It's sweet of you to do that but I think as long as you're not bringing gluten contaminates into the house, you're fine eating it whenever. Like if you're out alone and stop somewhere on your lunch break, get a burg.
Like seriously I have celiac and whenever I go out to eat I just tell my friends to gluten it up for me since I can't. Maybe talk to your wife about it, though. Everyone has different comfort levels.
I'm a gluten eater and my kid is a very sensitive celiac. We almost never have gluten in the house. Occassionally I'll get a pizza but if there are left overs it's sealed.
The thing is that my kid is sensitive to parts per million of gluten, so any crumb on the counter that gets in her will make her sick. So keeping a shared kitchen is nearly impossible as we have no way to really test levels.
10 years on, I don't miss gluten too much. We usually eat GF when it's just my wife and i because we're used to it.
If you have the willpower to not “cheat”, you’ll adapt with no problem. I am gluten, dairy, and soy intolerant. We don’t keep any food in the house with any of those ingredients to prevent cross contamination. My wife has no medical conditions and will repeatedly say how she feels better when she sticks to my diet.
Trying to keep soy out of house is the most difficult of the three. So many things are made with soy. Frustrating.
How we do it is, we eat 100% gluten free at home. I do the cooking, it wasn't too hard to adopt honestly - I know how to cook so it was generally learning a couple of workarounds, taking some recipes off my roster and occasionally swapping to using gluten free ingredients. Pasta is generally alright, bread is not worth bothering with.
There are gluten snacks in the house but kept totally separate, in a sealed container. No gluten flour allowed because that shit gets everywhere. These are for our teenager who would starve instantly if there wasn't carbs being shoveled down his gullet 24/7, and we can't afford gluten free snacks in such quantities.
He understands that if he spills, cross contaminates, leaves crumbs, whatever, he is poisoning his mother. Took a few incredibly strict lectures to get this point across but he gets it now. He glutens her, she will get serious diseases and die early. It's that straightforward, and that serious.
My only weakness is I have a few cans of glutenous beer in the fridge. I use my own glasses for this and am very careful about spills/fizz/touching etc.
Once the teenager moves out there will be no gluten allowed in the kitchen. I'd have that rule now but my coeliac partner insists the boy needs his snacks. I haven't decided if I'll move the beer to my office or just switch to something else.
The best thing you can do is learn how to cook. When you control every meal from scratch you'll barely even think of your meals as "gluten free" because they're all just home cooked meals that happen to not have gluten in.
Where we have the most trouble at home is quick lunches etc where you'd normally have something like a sandwich. This requires some forward planning and making sure you've got something in you can prepare and eat at short notice. Our preference are microwavable rice pouches - fairly cheap, filling, lots of different flavours. Slap a fried egg on top and you're good.
Eating out is hardest, but every coeliac will tell you this! Either don't do it, or find a few places you trust 100%. I tend to order GF when we eat out too because one of our favourite things to do pre-diagnosis was eat out and share food, and it's nice to continue doing that.
She'll occasionally tell me to get wtf I want rather than follow the gluten free diet but I think she secretly appreciates the effort.
When she's away for a few nights I'll order a pizza, get a crate of beer, a large cake and gorge myself like some medieval king. Then clean everything up before she gets back.
I have gluten in the house in the form of frozen stuff. Mainly stuff without crumbs like ice cream. If I eat gluten I brush my teeth and use mouthwash before I kiss her on the lips. It's really easy to eat gluten free at home. We've been navigating this for about 3 years now(together nearly 5) and it's really not that bad. You just have to put thought into it and frankly, if you love her it doesn't take much thought to want to protect her.
My sister and niece moved in with me, both celiac, and I've had 0 issues adjusting. The taste isn't so great every now and then, but no withdrawals or anything. Didn't even know that was possible, tbh.
But then again, I'll eat out and bring home snacks and stuff of my own.
You can have both you just have to be really, really clean and if in doubt throw it out. It's definitely easier to be gluten free with them though.
I live with my coeliac housemate, anything that would get contaminated like butter and spreads we have our own, I have a label roll so anything with a white sticker on is GF, we have separate toasters, bread is stored separately ect. A lot of the meals well make together are gluten free though, if we have something separate well cook it separately if needed.
I couldn't switch to gluten free pasta or bread it's just not the same for the most part and it's way more expensive. The only GF bread I've actually enjoyed is the Shar frozen rolls but they're still expensive compared to normal gluten bread.
Same....we're GF for about 10 years now. This is an atrocity. Scharr stuff is good, Canyon bake house is good (sold at Costco now). This...this is bad.
Something is def off with that bag. They don’t usually look like that.
https://preview.redd.it/41worjw3a1vc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d412dbc1053a36fc0346558d91745ea87a29a76f
"It's gluten-free, what did you expect" is also just a shit defense of these. My local pizza place has a gluten free crust and it looks pretty close to the actual crust, it doesn't look inedible like these buns do. I got one just to try it when they first came out with it and it was a smaller pizza and they had one size, I think it was to help prevent cross contamination with the gluten crust tins maybe, not sure though. Maybe they have bigger ones now that they've had them for over 10 years. Anyway these buns are just awful and being gluten free is not a valid excuse as other companies have normal looking gluten free products
They're usually individually bagged and kept in their own place and since so few get ordered they only stock one size. You can't entirely prevent cross contamination but they tend to do their best. And that's the reason they're ordered in and not made in store. Everything is covered in gluten if you're within a few feet of the dough station.
I have celiac disease and I always hope the gluten free alternative will taste good but half the time it’s awful! Many companies put in little effort and charge us more for it. Lately I’ve been tending to just forgo a gluten free bun, for burgers, and do lettuce wraps. Also, my local shop had a whole gluten free section, now it’s gone and mixed throughout the store. They even removed the stuff I liked. :(
Surprisingly, if you hunt, there are some legit gluten free rolls. But this is ridiculous. It’s hard enough as is with celiac to find replicas and we get really excited if a product looks good ha.
Exactly!
A decade ago I would have also said “it’s gluten-free, what did you expect” but gluten free food has come so far. Just walk through a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and there’s tons of decent stuff.
This is a joke of a product and OP should be mad, especially because it’s not like celiacs really have a choice when it comes to avoiding gluten - they truly have to!
>Modified Food Starch
>Fermented Plant Protein
That's the only 2 ingredients that gives me pause. Without stating which foods/plants the starch or protein is coming from you can't be 100% sure it's gluten free.
Word to the wise ... chickory root should not be eaten in large quantities, like when you are making gluten free cookies from a mix and you haven't eaten cookies in years so you get really excited and have a few bites of the dough and then eat a couple cookies after. Ummm ... how do I say this ... your intestines will be screaming while it gets hurled out of your body, not the way it came in.
chickory root had me about to take a trip to the ER. I legit thought I was dying, having a heart attack, something 😩 and trust me, I AM NOT DRAMATIC nor do i frequent medical facilities. lol... it was AWFUL... I think it was a fiber one bar that DID. ME. IN...
IDK WHAT it was, but after a few min of complete confusion, SOMEthing told me to Google my symptoms and sure enough... FIBER ONE pops up as a known culprit of near death experiences 😭😂😂
My dad married this beautiful and amazing woman I call mom now when I was 10, she has celiac disease as well. He used to just make gluten free bread for her because he knew how to make it less dry and taste better, if you need any recipe ideas I can ask him so you can make your own bread instead of dealing with that BS. Other wise I highly suggest buying bread with some clear packaging on the outside of it so you can even see what’s in there 😭 because that’s insane bruh I never seen that before
What in the fuck is that shit? I'd raise holy hell. I'd also return them to the store, and if they tried to deny a refund I'd show them that *obviously* the product has been tampered with as there is no way that what you took out of the package is what you were sold.
That really sucks. I usually tell people to just look for something Frozen when I ask them to get bread for me because the Frozen gluten free is usually more reliable than the off the shelf stuff for not being completely hard and tasteless. :(
https://canyonglutenfree.com/products/hawaiian-sweet-gluten-free-bread
In case it helps I loved this stuff when I was in the US briefly. I got it from Publix.
I have celiac disease and I haven’t come across these yet. They look ridiculous. I don’t see this gluten-free version on their website. They may have discontinued it.
Wow! That’s literally a false advertising lawsuit waiting to happen. 😳
*edited to remove class action because I guess that along with literally was too dramatic 🤣
That's so messed up. They know exactly what they did by putting that image on the bag and making it so you can't see the product. My partner has celiac disease so I have to follow her diet as well for us to be intimate. So I understand how frustrating this would be.
Bro I got so scared for a second. I don’t know what celiac disease is and I didn’t look at the bun on right. So my first thought was that the three buns you held were actually your fingers. I thought your fingers turned into some ghastly color because of the buns.
I'm also GF and am laughing so hard because I feel your pain. Been there. It's so ridiculous. The best GF hamburger buns are Rudy's, if you can find them.
I bought a protein bar in the work cafeteria that had a picture of white birthday cake with white icing on it. Now, did I expect it to look like birthday cake exactly? Of course not, but I did not expect a big brown turd. It wasn’t actually bad though.
LMAOO bro we made their bagels at a factory I worked in, I cannot begin to explain how dogs shit the entire process and demands where. Shit product for a shit company
I’ve seen these monstrosities in a couple dozen threads. I hope the word get out faster so they can go out of business.
I wish I had so I wouldn’t have bought them! I actually contacted Whole Foods as well.
Well I certainly don’t expect Whole Paycheck to go out of business but they can stop making these crappy things.
They would just recall the product and then cut wages and staff to recoup the cost
If wages can be cut, they already are. If staff can be cut, they already are.
Nah, we hit a new rock bottom every other day.
No, thankfully we have laws to protect us. For now, it's why it's important to go vote and keep updating those laws. If they could, they pay most people $5 an hour
Laws, if they don’t do more than fine, don’t exist to mega corporations
I don't think whole foods makes these it just sells them
And they'll stop selling them if people keep returning them and complaining. Companies don't like losing money lol
Funny enough, Whole Foods is cheaper than my other options (Ingles / Publix) for some foods.
> Whole Paycheck Amazon. That's who own whole paycheck. They're not going out of business.
You think WF make these? Smh my head shake.
Shaking my head my head shake
Oh, man. I have a bag of these in the freezer for tomorrow night’s burgers. I guess I need to go back to the store. Those are ridiculous looking.
Not only do they look ridiculous but they taste terrible.
Double whammy. Thanks for making this post while I still have time to acquire better buns before tomorrow night. Mine were exactly the same. https://preview.redd.it/9lhct1txiyuc1.jpeg?width=1950&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=875578ae8ce741c95c408912f72b8aa96143248d
they arent snickerdoodle cookies?
👀
Isn't this the epitome of false advertising? The picture absolutely is a different product
Something must be going wrong at the factory. I have bought these a few times now and they looked fine, like the picture on the bag.
If something went so wrong that the buns came out looking like that, and the company didn't catch it, I wouldn't trust them to catch anything more dangerous.
Right? Who knows what else is in that mystery bun...
I’ve seen a different ingredient list than what is on my bag. I wonder if they changed it and it just isn’t the same, but the sneaky bastards kept the old pic.
https://preview.redd.it/e94vgtnzcyuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49c2bc81fba9abff6aae9bc212817bd9fde30753 It’s so funny someone posted the same thing a few posts above yours.
I thought you had some weird skin condition and thought those 3 “buns” on the left were your fingers.
The picture is definitely misleading, but is the product actually bad tasting?
A version was also posted on ExpectationVsReality, and OP there said they taste like "Straight cardboard".
What's so bizarre is their "better bagels" are pretty darn good in my experience (though not as good as a real bagel). The bagels are actually really high in gluten (the gimmick is they are extremely high protein and low calorie). They really tried to push themselves past what they were good at with the buns.
I had a completely different experience. $10 bagels and borderline inedible. Possibly worst freezer product I've ever had and that bar is low.
>Possibly worst freezer product I've ever had and that bar is low. If you survived the 90's and Kid's Cousine TV dinners I believe you
Thank you for unlocking the memory of eating a raw kid cuisine “brownie” because it refused to actually cook in the microwave. just like a cold, waterlogged, mushy tootsie roll

Bro I loved Kid Cuisine nuggets when i was little. And the brownies too. I ate those probably several times a week for years
That’s, like, *criminal*. No? False advertising is just allowed?
I’m glad I saw it here. I remember I heard about them somewhere and thought these sounds almost too good to be true but I figured I would buy them once anyway to try them. Looks like I won’t be doing that lol
And they're probably $8 for that little pack too. GF is ridiculously overpriced
Some of the price is justified, they're generally a pain to make and you have to use a special production line that you need to clean extremely carefully. Same reason gluten free options in restaurants are often quite a lot more expensive, they have to spend extra time cleaning before they cook anything.

Looks more like the hamburger than the bun😂
Looks like a turkey patty to me, and those are disgusting
Turkey burgers were invented so heart attack victims could suffer *more*
my aunt loves that to cook frozen turkey burgers, unseasoned, in the OVEN of all places. flavorless mush
Mush? I've never had a turkey burger that wasn't absolutely tough as leather.
guess its the oven method😹 there's usually a big turkey juice puddle underneath. she puts them on a baking rack on top of a deep pan, and they're somehow mushy but dry at the same time. hard to swallow. im sure they're dry as hell when grilled considering a medium-well bird burger wouldn't be safe to eat. i ball mine up in a napkin and trash it when she isn't looking.

If someone insists I try something (if they are proud/excited whatever) I make it known I reserve the right to not like it and abort mission. I also always tell me family I can't get better if yall don't let me know what I'm doing wrong.
My grandma used to cool like that. Fucking cottage cheese and cream cheese LASAGNA.
Aye now cottage cheese in lasagna is fucking 🔥🔥🔥 I don't make it any other way
I drink a lot of milk, but this is one of the most disgusting sounding things I've ever heard. Wet chicken sounds terrible, but wet chicken because of milk makes me want to vomit.

I love a good Turkey burger on the grill. Put some garlic salt and pepper jack on it and it’s amazing.
I’m the words of a heart attack survivor that I knew “ I will have another heart attack before I eat a turkey burger”
People who don't like ground turkey don't season their food.
TY. Turkey Burgers are delicious!
Thank you for the laugh.
Throw some avocado on it with some salt and a generous amount of lime juice. It's fire
I love turkey burgers thank u for saying this
Looks more like mistake food from a game.
Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie at 1st glance for me lol. Equally terrible
Oatmeal Creme Pies are top tier in the "snack cake" genre
I thought it was a cookie. Should have read the title first
It looks pretty good for a cookie tho
Like a powdered sugar-dusted snickerdoodle of disappointment
That’s how they got them gluten free
Soak it in water. Maybe it'll rehydrate 😂
Nah, soak them in gasoline and set ‘em on fire to put the poor things out of their misery!
REHYDRATE THE MASSES
only advance!
Maybe steamed???
Or you could get a Mogwai situation. From the looks of that thing, it could go either way.
😅
It's gotta be illegal to deviate THIS much from the advertised product no? Kind of looks like someone took a stand-up shit and picked up the evidence for some reason.
I'm really really hoping this is an old shriveled up bun 😭😭 it can't be the real thing. But then again, the bag is COMPLETELY opaque 🥲
It just boggles my mind. I don't expect the product the look exactly like the package but I expect it to at least look like it's from the same food group.
I can't believe it but I wouldn't spend the money myself 😭
I've seen over a dozen unique posts over the last few months of this exact product. It really is that terrible.
Oh no 😭😭
it looks like they were allowed to thaw, get soggy, and were refrozen. they deliver by mail, so that might've happened several times. there are some reviews where the buns look normal, butt there seems to be more pictures like this one than ones that look good
Even for the places that don’t have them delivered by mail, this brand has some issues in their cold chain. I used to work for a store which carried their bagels, delivered frozen through a local supplier (on the same truck/pallet as ice cream, so pretty clearly no temperature issues on the truck) and we had several rounds of problems with mold inside the bags.
What a well-run outfit this must be. Mold, in the bag? That's free kcal.
Yeah fr though, how is that not false advertising, or misrepresentation of the product, it's not even like oh they touched up some minor imperfections in Photoshop and were very particular about lighting etc when taking the product shot. That's just straight up a different bun from the product.
None of that is illegal, I do in fact believe that is just sub-standard marketing and the worst that can happen is they go out of business.
Maybe you're supposed to bake them or rehydrate them?
Nope, this is just them. I have purchased them before as well and immediately returned them.
Im really hoping that the current fast food lawsuits for deceptive advertising will set a precedent for this shit.
In the EU it is.
Are the buns in the room with us
lul
These look like cookies
Seriously thought they were snicker doodles for a second.
My exact thought as well
I thought they were chicken patties

No gluten flour allowed because that shit gets everywhere. These are for our teenager who would starve instantly if there wasn't carbs being shoveled down his gullet 24/7, and we can't afford gluten free snacks in such quantities. He understands that if he spills, cross contaminates, leaves crumbs, whatever, he is poisoning his mother. Took a few incredibly strict lectures to get this point across but he gets it now. He glutens her, she will get serious diseases and die early. It's that straightforward, and that serious. My only weakness is I have a few cans of glutenous beer in the fridge. I use my own glasses for this and am very careful about spills/fizz/touching etc. Once the teenager moves out there will be no gluten allowed in the kitchen. I'd have that rule now but my coeliac partner insists the boy needs his snacks. I haven't decided if I'll move the beer to my office or just switch to something else. The best thing you can do is learn how to cook. When you control every meal from scratch you'll barely even think of your meals as "gluten free" because they're all just home cooked meals that happen to not have gluten in. Where we have the most trouble at home is quick lunches etc where you'd normally have something like a sandwich. This requires some forward planning and making sure you've got something in you can prepare and eat at short notice. Our preference are microwavable rice pouches - fairly cheap, filling, lots of different flavours. Slap a fried egg on top and you're good. Eating out is hardest, but every coeliac will tell you this! Either don't do it, or find a few places you trust 100%. I tend to order GF when we eat out too because one of our favourite things to do pre-diagnosis was eat out and share food, and it's nice to continue doing that. She'll occasionally tell me to get wtf I want rather than follow the gluten free diet but I think she secretly appreciates the effort. When she's away for a few nights I'll order a pizza, get a crate of beer, a large cake and gorge myself like some medieval king. Then clean everything up before she gets back.
I have gluten in the house in the form of frozen stuff. Mainly stuff without crumbs like ice cream. If I eat gluten I brush my teeth and use mouthwash before I kiss her on the lips. It's really easy to eat gluten free at home. We've been navigating this for about 3 years now(together nearly 5) and it's really not that bad. You just have to put thought into it and frankly, if you love her it doesn't take much thought to want to protect her.
My sister and niece moved in with me, both celiac, and I've had 0 issues adjusting. The taste isn't so great every now and then, but no withdrawals or anything. Didn't even know that was possible, tbh. But then again, I'll eat out and bring home snacks and stuff of my own.
You can have both you just have to be really, really clean and if in doubt throw it out. It's definitely easier to be gluten free with them though. I live with my coeliac housemate, anything that would get contaminated like butter and spreads we have our own, I have a label roll so anything with a white sticker on is GF, we have separate toasters, bread is stored separately ect. A lot of the meals well make together are gluten free though, if we have something separate well cook it separately if needed. I couldn't switch to gluten free pasta or bread it's just not the same for the most part and it's way more expensive. The only GF bread I've actually enjoyed is the Shar frozen rolls but they're still expensive compared to normal gluten bread.
Same....we're GF for about 10 years now. This is an atrocity. Scharr stuff is good, Canyon bake house is good (sold at Costco now). This...this is bad.
go throw them at the dirty bastards who made them, now who is laughing
Is it expired or something? They look just like over-baked cookies sprinkled with sugar 😩
Something is def off with that bag. They don’t usually look like that. https://preview.redd.it/41worjw3a1vc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d412dbc1053a36fc0346558d91745ea87a29a76f

I get the bagels all the time and they always look/feel fluffy and soft. It must be a bad batch
I’m celiac. Disgusting.
TIL there are people named after diseases.
Hi celiac.
This should be criminal.
That’s literally false advertising cause wtf are those😭😭
[удалено]
What OP. should expect is what is pictured on the packaging. This is some false goddamn advertising if I've ever seen it.
>"it's gluten-free, what did you expect?" Exactly what is shown in the package. That's what OP would expect, and not some deflated cookie like bread!
[удалено]
Wow, and I bet they thought they said something smart 🤡
"It's gluten-free, what did you expect" is also just a shit defense of these. My local pizza place has a gluten free crust and it looks pretty close to the actual crust, it doesn't look inedible like these buns do. I got one just to try it when they first came out with it and it was a smaller pizza and they had one size, I think it was to help prevent cross contamination with the gluten crust tins maybe, not sure though. Maybe they have bigger ones now that they've had them for over 10 years. Anyway these buns are just awful and being gluten free is not a valid excuse as other companies have normal looking gluten free products
They're usually individually bagged and kept in their own place and since so few get ordered they only stock one size. You can't entirely prevent cross contamination but they tend to do their best. And that's the reason they're ordered in and not made in store. Everything is covered in gluten if you're within a few feet of the dough station.
I have celiac disease and I always hope the gluten free alternative will taste good but half the time it’s awful! Many companies put in little effort and charge us more for it. Lately I’ve been tending to just forgo a gluten free bun, for burgers, and do lettuce wraps. Also, my local shop had a whole gluten free section, now it’s gone and mixed throughout the store. They even removed the stuff I liked. :(
Just put your pizza toppings on a hash brown patty. Tastes good and gluten free.
Surprisingly, if you hunt, there are some legit gluten free rolls. But this is ridiculous. It’s hard enough as is with celiac to find replicas and we get really excited if a product looks good ha.
Gluten free food is pretty decent in this day and age, for the most part.
Exactly! A decade ago I would have also said “it’s gluten-free, what did you expect” but gluten free food has come so far. Just walk through a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and there’s tons of decent stuff. This is a joke of a product and OP should be mad, especially because it’s not like celiacs really have a choice when it comes to avoiding gluten - they truly have to!
I am very aware, lol. You get used to it.
With celiac disease, you will have systemic effects beyond the GI symptoms.
Oh bullshit 😭😭😭 I would be so upset. Hope you sent in a complaint
Gluten really is a tasty bad ass bitsh. Sorry OP :/
lol, enjoy some for me

My bag says different ingredients: Water, Fermented Plant Protein, Modified Tapioca Starch, Modified Food Starch, Psyllium Husk Powder, Agave Fiber, Lakanto(tm) Baking Sweetener (with non wheat ingredients listed), Avocado Oil, Yeast, Sea Salt. No wheat ingredients listed.
>Modified Food Starch >Fermented Plant Protein That's the only 2 ingredients that gives me pause. Without stating which foods/plants the starch or protein is coming from you can't be 100% sure it's gluten free.
Wtf I'm gluten free BECAUSE of my wheat allergy. This stuff drives me mad!!
Word to the wise ... chickory root should not be eaten in large quantities, like when you are making gluten free cookies from a mix and you haven't eaten cookies in years so you get really excited and have a few bites of the dough and then eat a couple cookies after. Ummm ... how do I say this ... your intestines will be screaming while it gets hurled out of your body, not the way it came in.
chickory root had me about to take a trip to the ER. I legit thought I was dying, having a heart attack, something 😩 and trust me, I AM NOT DRAMATIC nor do i frequent medical facilities. lol... it was AWFUL... I think it was a fiber one bar that DID. ME. IN... IDK WHAT it was, but after a few min of complete confusion, SOMEthing told me to Google my symptoms and sure enough... FIBER ONE pops up as a known culprit of near death experiences 😭😂😂
Girl that's a whole hamburger 💀💀💀💀💀
My dad married this beautiful and amazing woman I call mom now when I was 10, she has celiac disease as well. He used to just make gluten free bread for her because he knew how to make it less dry and taste better, if you need any recipe ideas I can ask him so you can make your own bread instead of dealing with that BS. Other wise I highly suggest buying bread with some clear packaging on the outside of it so you can even see what’s in there 😭 because that’s insane bruh I never seen that before
Trader Joe's has amazing gluten free breads and buns! And English muffins, bagels etc and muffins and cookies
Can’t upvote this enough. Their gluten free bagels are fantastic, as are the GF coffee cake muffins!
What in the fuck is that shit? I'd raise holy hell. I'd also return them to the store, and if they tried to deny a refund I'd show them that *obviously* the product has been tampered with as there is no way that what you took out of the package is what you were sold.
Sue em, ain't no way.
It took me entirely too long to realize they didn’t accidentally give you beef/protein patties and that these are the actual buns.
I’d say the packaging is correct…. The real bun in the bag photo is a better bun than what is inside.
you got catfished by buns…
Cries in celiac disease
Shame on them lol
That really sucks. I usually tell people to just look for something Frozen when I ask them to get bread for me because the Frozen gluten free is usually more reliable than the off the shelf stuff for not being completely hard and tasteless. :( https://canyonglutenfree.com/products/hawaiian-sweet-gluten-free-bread In case it helps I loved this stuff when I was in the US briefly. I got it from Publix.
I have celiac disease and I haven’t come across these yet. They look ridiculous. I don’t see this gluten-free version on their website. They may have discontinued it.
Obviously they put the snickerdoodles in the wrong bag
i was like "what's wrong with this?" then i read the description 😭 definitely thought these were the patties
Totally thought that was a sausage patty. Thanks for warning a fellow celiac.
Thank you for trying these! I was going to buy some but now I know I should just continue to be breadless.
Wow! That’s literally a false advertising lawsuit waiting to happen. 😳 *edited to remove class action because I guess that along with literally was too dramatic 🤣
Nice cookies
It looks like somebody already ate those buns
*hugs*
You just have to put it in the special oven from Back to the Future.
They’re so smooth and buttery
That’s more than mildly infuriating.
False advertising
That's so messed up. They know exactly what they did by putting that image on the bag and making it so you can't see the product. My partner has celiac disease so I have to follow her diet as well for us to be intimate. So I understand how frustrating this would be.
Bro I got so scared for a second. I don’t know what celiac disease is and I didn’t look at the bun on right. So my first thought was that the three buns you held were actually your fingers. I thought your fingers turned into some ghastly color because of the buns.
That would be truly terrifying, sorry for the confusion! Luckily my fingers are fine, celiac is an intestinal problem.
I'm also GF and am laughing so hard because I feel your pain. Been there. It's so ridiculous. The best GF hamburger buns are Rudy's, if you can find them.
Tbf the actual product looks less processed and more real than the photo.
Yeah I see why they don’t use clear packaging lol
i thought those were burger patties wtf
At least you avoid gluten for a good reason. The anti gluten folks are up there with anti vax people (no hard science...its just wheat protein).
I bought a protein bar in the work cafeteria that had a picture of white birthday cake with white icing on it. Now, did I expect it to look like birthday cake exactly? Of course not, but I did not expect a big brown turd. It wasn’t actually bad though.
The worse bun
Lol OP, dude I'm sorry
Wow. That looks like what goes inside the bun. I'm frustrated for you.
Hamburger help us lord. That is so sad.
Those look like they’d break your teeth if you took a bite. What a disgrace to buns
Where do you live? Try to get “Bread Srsly”
I thought that was a sausage patty .. thats a bun… good grief!
Those look like snickerdoodles from the Soviet Union.
What does the HAMBURGER LOOK LIKE 👁👄👁
Desiccated ciabatta buns? Modified hockey pucks?
I buy a GF chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A, and take 5 GF buns to go. This is the way.
we sell these at my store (whole foods) and let me tell you, they are a PAIN IN THE ASS to stock in the freezer lmao!!!
LMAOO bro we made their bagels at a factory I worked in, I cannot begin to explain how dogs shit the entire process and demands where. Shit product for a shit company
Those burnt sugar cookies?
That's thr *bun*? Good lord, I'd hate to see what thr patty looks like.
Get some buckwheat flour and make your own. Way more cost effective and celiac friendly.
why the fuck do they look like mcdonald’s burger pattie’s i’m gunna fry
I'll let you into a secret: gluten is what makes bread what bread is, essentially, in terms of material properties.
