Frozen Chicken Breasts In "broth"

I've been to 3 grocery stores here and they all have frozen bonless, skinless chicken breasts in "broth" of various %'s.   It just says "broth" but nothing about if it is gluten-free or not.  I have some that I buy at home that are not in a broth and they are fine but I don't know about these.  Anyone???

I have seen this as well.  I never could find anything on it, but I didn't try very hard since I had other options.  I know a few store brands, including Kroger, that say gluten-free on them.  Technically chicken broth should just be chicken+water, but I would rather be safe than sorry.  Have you emailed the companies yet? 

 

For frozen chicken breasts, I really like the ones that are individually wrapped and frozen, they usually come in a smaller box in the frozen aisle.  Seems to be the same size box for many store brands, and since they are wrapped they don't need an ice coating to protect them.  You may be able to find those if you keep an eye out.

I think the USDA definition is something like water, salt and chicken juices. You could probably look that up. You can always tell if they have added salt water by the sodium content. Unsalted chicken is about 45mg of sodium per serving ( naturally occurring sodium). Anything much higher has salt water or salted chicken juices added.

I haven't emailed them yet because I have to go back to the store and get the brand names.  I don't think there is a Kroger near me now and I know we don't have any back home.  I can live without eating them, they are just easy to make after a long day at work.  When I get back home, I have options there.  I did see some "organic" chicken breasts that were individually wrapped in a box of 6 but there were no actual ingredients listed and NO price to be found anywhere.  The whole chicken from the same company next to these was priced at $15 so I'm guessing they were about the same....I didn't need them that badly :D.

      Celiac pain relief

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hope you're feeling better.   I use a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine (Vitamins B 1, B12, and B6) for pain relief.  Together these vitamins together have pain killing effects (analgesic).  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete any excess.  They are safe to take.   Hope this helps.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      I did some research on what exactly is gluten . . . what defines it.  "The term gluten usually refers to the elastic network of a wheat grain's proteins, gliadin and glutenin primarily . . . " "The types of grains that contain gluten include all species of wheat (common wheat, durum, spelt, khorasan, emmer and einkorn), and barley, rye, and some cultivars of oat" (emphasis mine) "The storage proteins in other grains, such as maize (zeins) and rice (rice protein), are sometimes called gluten, but they do not cause harmful effects in people with celiac disease." (emphasis mine) From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten What I found most interesting is that some cultivars of oats contain gluten. Could this explain, in part at least, the controversy surrounding oats? I mean, depending on the source, it could indeed sometimes include gluten and cause a celiac reaction.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your point about the limitations of current testing is valid, but the idea of "molecular mimicry" with rice and corn glutens is less clear. While corn contains zein, which can trigger reactions in some celiac patients, rice is generally considered safe and lacks proteins structurally similar to gluten. The term "molecular mimicry" is often overused and not well-supported in the context of all grains. While your experience with corn is noteworthy, extending this to all grains, including rice, may not be scientifically justified. Testing and research should indeed improve, but claims about all grains causing similar reactions need more evidence.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      I think Scott speaks truth. And I think there is more to this than the prospect of her having celiac disease. If it wasn't this issue, I'm betting it would be another.

      So one does need a specific inherited gene in order to develop celiac disease, so in some way I suppose anyone with celiac disease could take the negative approach of blaming their parents for getting it, however, it also takes some other environmental trigger, such as a specific virus or other factor, and this part is not necessarily caused by the parents. Around 40% of people have the genes to get celiac disease, but only around 1% actually get it.  In any case, we could all go through life complaining about all sorts of different wrongs supposedly caused by our parents, however, it's probably a lot more healthy for everyone to try to deal with life in a more positive way and instead move forward. For most people it's probably far more important to maintain positive family relationships in life than it is to try to attach blame to family members for getting any disease.
