Panera New Englad Clam Chowder from grocery store


Deades

Recommended Posts

Deades Contributor

Here are the ingredients:

light cream, clam broth from concentrate, potatoes, clam meat, onions, contains 2% or less of:. corn starch, butter (cream, salt) sea salt, garlic, fish stock (pollock, salt) onion powder, nisi preparation and spice.  Contains milk and shellfish.  May contain crustacean shellfish.

I bought from grocery store because I didn't see any gluten on label.  I had for lunch yesterday and by night fall was covered in hives.  What did I miss?  I looked at the Panera website and on their website wheat flour is listed as an ingredient.

It could be cross contamination at the plant. It also could have been something else you ate fairly recently as sometimes reactions can be delayed.  I hope you're feeling better soon.

New England Clam Chowder (Water, Whipping Cream [Milk], Potatoes [Russet Potatoes, Calcium Chloride], Sea Clam Juice [Sea Clam Juice, Salt], Clams [Sea Clams, Water, Salt], Onions, Salted Butter, Clam Base [Cooked Clams In Clam Broth, Salt, Yeast Extract, Potato Flour, Butter, Clam Extract, Sugar, Onion Powder, Cod Powder, Garlic Powder], Wheat Flour, Corn Starch, Seasoning [Sugar, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Corn Starch, Black Pepper, White Pepper, Canola Oil]).

This is from the panera website....I think the grocery store typed out the label in their label machine and missed a few ingredients to make it look better. I would go back to the store and ask to talk to a manager about it. Inquire as to why the ingredient list is different from the websites, how it is made, like do they get sent a dry mix or liquid mix from HQ or do they make it all fresh on the spot. Talk to them about the gluten issue you had with it.

On a side note NEVER buy a soup or something from a grocery store, restaurant, or soup kitchen if they are not 100% gluten free. It is very common to use wheat flour as a thickening agent, and even if not used in the soup you bought it was probably used in a soup that used that same pot and utensils....can you imagine them cooking a bunch of pots of soup some with wheat ingredients in them in a huge kitchen the chef going from pot to pot. Perhaps using the same ladle to give each a stir or get a bit out to sample.....CC is a huge issue.

The issue here is that it could be ANYTHING and there is no way to really determine exactly what hit you.     What I would suggest that as a Newbie, try to avoid processed foods even if they do not contain any gluten ingredients.  Celiacs usually have additional complications.  We often have or can develop other intolerances or allergies. 

When you are well (symptoms dissipate), then feel free to experiment.  I hope you feel better soon!

What's nisi preparation?

Deades Contributor

I called paneraathome and they told me the food made for retail sale is made  in a different location and the labels are accurate.  She assured me the clam chowder was gluten free.

Nisin is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis that is used as a food preservative. ... In the food industry, nisin is obtained from the culturing of L. lactis on natural substrates, such as milk or dextrose, and it is not chemically synthesized.

Errors are made during ANY manufacturing process.  Take a look at this mis-labeled product now being recalled because it contains wheat:

DO NOT panic!  Fortunately this type of occurrence is RARE.  Odds are that your soup does not contain gluten.  But as I stated earlier, celiacs can have or develop food intolerances or even allergies to preservatives, additives.....ANYTHING.  Read about Zonulin and leaky gut.  Reasearchers know so little about the GI system.  

Your best bet is to avoid processed foods until you feel better.  At least choose minimally processed foods.

Gee, I add Nisin to my homemade soups just like my Grandmother -- NOT!  ?

      Welcome to the forum, @KCGirly, In addition to side effects like rashes and gastrointestinal symptoms, Semaglutide is known to cause Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi (a Thiamine deficiency disorder) causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and tachycardia.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates (like during a gluten challenge) can make symptoms worse.  Thiamine is needed to convert carbs, fats, and proteins into energy and enzymes that keep us alive.  Without sufficient thiamine, our bodies store excess calories as fat. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency can wax and wane depending on how much dietary thiamine is consumed.  If you eat a meal with lots of thiamine (meat and liver are good sources of dietary thiamine),  a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine produces an eighty percent increase in brain activity and symptoms improve.  Symptoms can occur for years with subclinical thiamine deficiency. A doctor can administer high dose thiamine intravenously, or over-the-counter thiamine supplements (Benfotiamine) can be taken.  Symptoms improve within a few hours to days with thiamine supplementation.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  No harm in trying thiamine supplementation, if only to rule it out.  Unfortunately, many doctors are not aware of thiamine deficiency caused by pharmaceuticals.   Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production and results in false negatives on Celiac testing. Semaglutide can also cause Vitamin B12 deficiency and folate deficiency.  Anesthesia can also deplete B12. Do keep us posted on your progress.

      Thanks for the reply Trent.  You asked how much gluten I’m consuming daily.  I haven’t been tracking that.  I just know that some of the food I’ve been eating does have gluten like sandwiches and things like that.  I’ve also had a few cookies we baked that had flour.    My GI doctor did get back with me and they are moving the endoscopy up to tomorrow.  I too hope I have consumed enough gluten for the test to be accurate.    The odd thing about this is about 12-14 years ago I had similar symptoms.  The ended up diagnosing as IBS.  They never did celiac testing.  The episodes went away and just reared their ugly head again this year. I’m not sure why they just stopped, but was thankful.   Here are the results for the blood test. CELIAC DISEASE COMPREHENSIVE PANEL INTERPRETATION No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease. Celiac disease is extremely rare in the absence of DQ2 or DQ8. Show Less TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA U/mL <1.0 IMMUNOGLOBULIN A 230

      Foods tasting salty can be an indicator of diabetes, kidney failure, Sjogren's syndrome, thyroid problems, smoking, dehydration and zinc deficiency.

      Our insight into the immune responses involved in celiac disease has steadily increased and there have been many attempts to develop drug therapies to either break down gluten before it triggers immune system responses or to, in some way, trick the immune system into no longer identifying gluten as a threat. So far, all these attempts have been disappointments that did make it out of the trial phases that all new drug therapies are put through.

      Good idea! We don’t have a range hood/exhaust fan so I didn’t think of that.
