Pizza Hut Gluten Free

I just saw the article saying that Pizza Hut is now making a pizza that is certified as gluten free by the gluten intolerance group.  This is confusing: is it or is it not safe for those with celiac disease?

The  pizza  they are  using  is  Udi's gluten-free kit... that  is  safe & gluten-free...  problem  comes  in  that  it is prepared as  safely  as  it can be  but  it  still is  a place  that  has tons  of  wheat  products  so  the CC is the problem... plus  it  becomes an  unsafe  pizza  if  someone  decides  they  want  to add  maybe peppers  & olives  to  the gluten-free  pizza ... The  common  area  also  isn't  wheat  free.....if one  is a very sensitive  celiac  I would  not  eat  that  pizza....for  most  as  long as  the  staff follows  through  on their  gluten-free  training  the  pizza  would  probably be  fine....

I have  eaten the  same gluten-free pizza  at  home  with  no  problems, only  difference  would  be  the  restaurant !

It should be fine for Celiacs - they are GIG trained.  It might just depend on how comfortable you are with your local Pizza Hut employees and whether they will follow the rules.

I would ask to the manger to walk you through the preparation process. Observe them making the pizza. I do this at my fav burger joint. Only once did I catch an employee not following gluten "allergy" procedures. So, I watch every single time and talk to the manager first!

I can not wait to try the pizza!

I have personally observed the kitchen when they get busy. Local restaurants can be so different about how careful they are that I would never trust my life to hoping they follow thru with all the rules to keep me safe. It really depends on the management's dedication to and understanding of the life threatening issues with Celiac.

 

Training and actual performance are two totally different things. Written policy has to actually be properly and acurately executed every single time for Celiac's. It just seems to risky to me.

 

I can make a pizza at home that won't make me sick for weeks and destroy parts of my intestines.

Very true, that training in gluten free practice and actually carrying it out are two different things.  I have always believed this as well.  I have had celiac now for 5 years, and have yet to eat out in a restaurant that is not dedicated gluten free (and even at that only twice since it is not in my home town).  Good to know that Udi's Pizza kit is what Pizza Hut uses, and therefore I assume it's pretty good.  I'll just eat at home when a pizza craving hits!

I don't think I can trust it.  Just too much wheat around.  At restaurants with gluten-free menus (like Longhorn's) I perceive a lot less likelihood of CC because, well, they're not pounding out dozens of regular pizzas every hour.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
