You will not BELIEVE the crap filled email I recieved from quaker about their mini rice cakes....take a look at this. I REALLY think companies need to be held accountable for their products. Isn't that what the labeling law (that was passed) is all about...how can they get away with sending out answers like this!! GRRRRRRR

Hello Jessica:

Thanks for your e-mail about Quaker Quakes Crispy Mini's Rice Snacks.

Due to many factors, we have not been able to respond to your concern regarding

Quaker Quakes Crispy Mini's Rice Snacks as promptly as we would wish. Please

accept our apologies.

We rely on outside suppliers for the flavorings used in our products. It is an

industry-wide practice to manufacture a variety of products in same plant or on

shared equipment. The Food & Drug Adminstration requires all food manufacturers

and ingredient suppliers to follow careful guidelines, called Good Manufacturing

Practices, for cleaning equipment. Despite these practices we are unable to

guarantee that a small amount of this ingredient is not present in the finished

product. No allergen-free lists are available due to the extensive product line

and number of ingredient suppliers.

We update allergen information on a regular basis and would not want consumers

to have incorrect or outdated info.

We hope this information is helpful. Your interest in our products is

appreciated.

Hello Amy:

Thanks for your OatMail about Quaker Quakes Crispy Mini's Rice Snacks.

We understand that individuals sensitive to gluten cannot digest even trace amounts of gluten.  Since so many of our products contain grain ingredients and many products are made in the same facility, we cannot guarantee that any particular product is entirely free of gluten.  Although we would like to help you find products that meet your special dietary needs, we are not able to recommend any of our products.

We hope this information is helpful.

You called about Quaker Mini Rice Cakes....when I called about the normal-sized ones, they said that ALL brands are gluten-free (white cheddar, peanut butter, buttered popcorn, etc.).

Hello, B)

While I was shopping I came up to one of the products that are in the diet section.

It was "Quaker Rice Cakes" and "Quaker Corn Cakes".. As I read through the ingredients I found nothing that indicates that it is gluten-free, although it did not say so... <_<

I visited their website to ask them about the product, and only people in Canada and the States where to comment only..Can anyone who lives there ask them and tell me as soon as possible.. I wanted to ask them a couple of things:

~~ The ingredient "Chocolate liquor", where is it from??

(since my health state doesn't allow me to take any alcohol intake)

~~ Is their product gluten-free and Kosher?

I wonder if anyone could help me!

Thnx in Advance,

I'm new to the celiac stuff, but I felt I should register to comment on this one.

After calling Quaker and getting the usual "the product is not made with wheat, barley, or rye BUT it is not tested- so it might not be gluten free"...

I read this post. I was frustrated and hungry... so since someone here said she'd had no issues with the Quakes, I went ahead and ate them. (Cheddar)

Out of the 4 or 5 months that I've been gluten free... I've NEVER been so sick. In fact, this was my first real issue.

The Quakes were the only thing I've eaten different from my usual diet, so I can only assume they were the cause of this last 3 days of hell. Hopefully I can save someone the trouble.

These posts were from 2004 so maybe the ingredients have changed or it was a different product. Manufacturers do change their recipes often and im sure things have changed in the last 6 years...I eat lundbergs wild rice cakes and they are yummy and gluten free for sure;)

They have a bunch of regular sized cakes that are gluten-free. They say gluten-free above the nutritional information on the package. If it does NOT say "gluten-free", they will not guarantee it to be gluten-free-per company statement.

I want to add that this is a recent development. You may still find old stock on the shelves so check the packaging. I also want to reiterate that it only applies to the REGULAR sized rice cakes not the little snacky ones.

I eat RiceWorks Brown Rice snacks instead of Quaker Rice Cakes... they are quite expensive here (almost $4/bag!!) so I tend to only buy them when they are on sale. They are delicious and say gluten-free, vegan-friendly, whole grain, etc. right on the bag :)Open Original Shared Link Yum!

I bought some and ate them a few weeks and got sick so I'll avoid it. Where can you buy Mother's rice cakes?

kareng Grand Master

The original posts are 9 years old! The last few are 3 years old! Products can change sooooo much in that amount of time. There are discussions of rice cakes that are just a few days or weeks old. Those would be more likely to be accurate.

      I found out I had celiac because of eye problems. I developed an eye irritation that was sensitive to light, pressure, and red. My eye doctor said I had iritis, an inflammation of the iris. The treatment was prednisone drops. This is a common symptom related to ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that runs in my family. My doctor wanted to start me on immunosuppressants, but I refused due to side effects. I tried a few anti-inflammatory diets and found the specific carb diet helped, which led my doctor to test me for celiac, which was positive. Now I know when I get glutened because I have a flare up of my iritis. I call it my canary in a coal mine. First the eye, then the arthritis flare up begins.

      Soap, water and scrubbing won’t “kill” gluten, but it will physically remove it if done well if you also add a thorough rinse step.

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.

      This is an expanding question on this topic, I’m not sure where to put it…. I get mixed answers on this but sense I’m Coeliac and my husband isn’t we do still use the same kitchen and cooking utensils-for the most part. I was told by dietitians and GI dr that only soap and water will “kill” the gluten. I am still so confused about this topic, even after being gluten-free for 3 years. I’m sure I’ve accidentally gotten cross contamination, but haven’t knowingly put anything with gluten in my mouth! I probably get more contamination from eating out than in our “shared kitchen”. I make all my bread in a gluten-free bread machine, and he generally uses a toaster oven to heat up gluten containing items. I bake both regular and gluten-free items in our oven, (Not at the same time). I’m constantly wiping down counters and cabinets with soap and water. I keep gluten-free items in a separate cabinet. I don’t seem to be super sensitive to gluten. I was confirmed by blood and on colonoscopy about 15 years ago, but continued eating Gluten not really knowing the damage I was doing to my body.  Can anything besides soap and water “kill” gluten? How hot would an oven have to be before killing it? So any kind of soap and any temp of water omit the gluten? That makes no sense to me if a 500 degree pizza oven won’t kill it. How can a dab of soap and lukewarm water do what heat can’t do?   thank you for putting this where it needs to be if this is the wrong spot!  sincerely needing advice, Brandy J
