Quaker Rice Cakes

[darlindeb25]

I have eaten Quaker Rice Cakes for over 4 years now and I know I have never had a reaction to them. I used to eat their caramel corn cakes and then they changed them to caramel corn rice cakes--I couldnt eat the corn cakes anymore anyways. I did react to their Choc Chip Snack Cakes a few months ago--I thought I reacted to the soy/corn combination, but I could have been glutened by them. My reaction began almost 20 mins after eating 3 little rice snacks and I was sick for over 2 weeks--took another couple of weeks to get back to normal. I would really like to know how many of you have reacted to them--maybe I should stop eating them altogether. Thanks, Deb

I actually email them concerning their products - they don't guarantee their products to be glutent free. So I quit them. I miss them, but I like my health much more than a product.

Okay, here is part of the answer from Quaker concerning gluten free

"...Grains are handled and transported in bulk by our suppliers...It is important we let you know the this product may contain trace amounts of grains that may be grown, harvested or stored with other grains and we cannot guarantee that this product is gluten free...."

I quit them, better safe (and healthy) than sorry.

Does anyone know of any gluten-free rice cakes? I was eating the Quaker ones everyday because I thought they guaranteed their rice cakes. Oops.

I got some at my local health food store. I can't remember the name, but they were also 100% organic from California and bland and pricey.

This is from the Quaker Canada website in the FAQ section. I'm not sure how current it is. Maybe the Canadian products are different which is probably why I am confused.

Do you have any gluten-free products?

* Although The Quaker Oats Company of Canada primarily produces products that are grain-based, we do have a few gluten-free products. Most flavours of Quaker® Rice and Corn Cakes and Quaker® Crispy Minis Rice Chips are gluten free. However, our newest flavour of Quaker® Rice Cakes, Savoury Tomato & Basil, is not gluten free. Gatorade® Thirst Quencher, Aunt Jemima® Syrups and Quaker® Corn Meal are all gluten free. Quaker® Puffed Rice is also considered gluten free; however, as is produced on the same production line as Puffed Wheat, there is a minute chance of cross contamination. Due to changes which might occur to the product formula, it is important to check our ingredient listing regularly.

Lundberg's are gluten-free. I think they only have the salty/savory flavors (nothing sweet like the Quaker carmel)

They have a honey-nut (but there are no nuts in it at all) that's sweet. They also have an apple cinnamon, but I'm not a huge fan of that one. I do like the seaweed tamari one. :-)

They have a lot of other quite tasty flavors. (The unsalted plain are a bit boring, but the rest aren't bad.)

I was wondering about the seaweed tamari one. I will definitely try it, thanks guys.
