Frozen goods: AMY's 'gluten-free' pizza...not gluten-free for me


Pete Jeno

4,887 views

Hi,
So, just putting this user experience out there and asking for your feedback. I have often gotten Amy's gluten free pizza (the plain rice crust/ Cheese one), and have gotten sick every time. (sick meaning: inflated, swollen, etc, followed by all the 'afterness' later.) I confirmed with someone else (they actually bought it up first), that they cant have this brand either. They only tried the Spinach/Soy cheese flavor (which I LOVED, but questioned it too). It can be observed that there is a HUGE ingredient list, which as a celiac, the longer the list, the more there is to question.
For me though, and when at home, I'll stick to making it from scratch. What are your results? Is anyone having good or bad results using AMY's Pizzas? And thanks all. - Pete

They can legally label it gluten-free as long as somewhere on the package it says it is processed in a facility that packages allergy foods, wheat, nuts, soy, etc. Cross contamination is the problem, and Amy's does say that.

I'm starting to think I need to stop buying them. Last night I made an Amy's burrito for dinner. I'm not diagnosed or anything and I went to my guys house. I had diarrhea all night and most of the morning today, very bad gas and cramps, and broke out in a hot sweat. Tried the enchilada meal today, it tasted horrible, yuck.

I ate the gluten free-dairy free spinach rice crust pizza last night and within three hours was very ill, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. I haven't had a reaction to food in over a year and the last time was with Amy's gluten-free-df macaroni and cheese. I actually think they may be putting the wrong products in the boxes that look so similar. I just emailed them with a complaint. I will never try any of their foods again.

I gave my son Amy's Mac & cheese last night for dinner for the first time. He said it was yummy and ate it all. He was up all night long with diarrhea and vomiting. Today, he still feels sick and won't eat anything. I had to keep him home from school. He has no fever. What is in that stuff?!

I have never been to this website but had to google "Getting sick after Amy's Gluten Free Pizza" tonight because I have been feeling so sick. What on earth? Happy to find a forum and confirm that the pizza is most likely what caused it. Incredibly disappointing. I have really liked her products and clearly they are so easy to make but why isn't the company working to fix this if it is publicly such a problem? They are often the only things in the "GLUTEN FREE" frozen section at major grocery chains and health food stores carry them. Very dishonest marking. Hopefully will be feeling better soon.

I love Amy's burritos. No problem with those and have not tried any other products. So thought I would try the pizza. Became ill like all of you. I am only allergic to "flour" and not gluten. I am going to guess that there is a heavy amount of soy in this product as I am also allergic to soy. It is used as a filler so often. Never thought to look for it on the ingredient list. Freshetta is a brand that I have tried and do ok. I do occasionally have flour and do not react as violently as I did with Amy's pizza. I believe it has to be soy. Will check ingredients next time in the grocery store.

I found this thread after getting sickened from eating Amy's Chinese Noodles and Veggies. I was going to a family holiday get together and they were ordering Chinese, so I figured this was a last minute solution. It made me so sick! So bloated and my stomach has been hurting non-stop for over 24 hours now. It started about an hour after I ate that meal. I am usually cautious, but obviously not enough, because I didn't read the entire package before I ate it. Amy's foods are deceptive because they say GLUTEN FREE in big letters on the front of the box, but in tiny letters on the side it says it's made in a facility that processes foods containing wheat. There is obviously a big problem with cross contamination if so many are getting sickened. I´m so disappointed with this company. They should take the gluten free label off the front of the box.
