Lipton Cup-a-soups

Hi there,

I have been busy calling and emailing manufacturers with questions about their specific products. One of them, Lipton, said that if there is gluten in the product, it will be mentioned in the incredients (e.g., contains wheat, rye, barley, oats). I use cream of chicken and tomato soups a lot in my casseroles. The Campbell's condensed soups definitely have gluten in them. I thought as a substitute I could use Lipton Cup-A-Soup in the cream of chicken and tomato varieties. The thing that troubles me is that I have not seen this product on any gluten free lists of brands, nor have I seen it mentioned anywhere on this or any other forum as being gluten free. Yet, the company reperesentative claims it is gluten free, and I would love to use this product.

Anyone out there have any information on these two soups that would help me decide to use/not use them?

Thanks

Sharon

I don't know about those two, but the 2004 Delfi List said that Lipton Onion Soup Mix is glutenfree - others are not.

This product is manufactured by Unilever and they will disclose any gluten-free sources on the ingredient label.

I believe the only two that are gluten-free are the cream of chicken and the cheddar broccoli.

I think the tomato has croutons in it.

I do eat the other two with no problems!

I think the tomato with croutons is new. Geesh, I hope it isn't a replacement for the tomato soup. I checked with the company once and have seen it on a list or two some time ago. Kept a watch on ingredients and haven't seen anything that concerned me much since. Always a fear they would change their formula some day or drop the flavor like they did with their gluten-free chicken broth cup-o-soup a few years ago. Other than Ogran anyone know of any other cup-of-soup brands?

I can't eat it anymore due to other food issues, but I remember that the Lipton cup of soup/chicken was gluten free. I used to make casseroles with it (used less liquid to make it creamier). I enjoyed it! If you want, list the ingredients for us-we can help out.

Thanks to all of you for your input. Unilever does state that the ingredients will indicate if there is gluten in the soup. According to what I read, both cream of chicken and tomato are both ok. One of you mentioned tomato with croutons. I have tomato that is a few months old. The ingredients in the tomato soup are: whey, tomato powder, sugar, potato starch, salt, yeast extract, cream, maltodextrin, natural flavors, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika extractive (for color). I am pretty sure they are both safe. After a ten-month gluten challenge, I am just getting back on track with the diet again. I'm even a little paranoid about what's in everything. I am sure I will calm down after a while.

Thanks again for your support.

Sharon: Natural flavoring, is a vast term for "I can't tell you what's in it". Be cautious, but it you feel comfortable by the company's response. ...enjoy.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      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

      I would say the tTG-IGA would be sufficient.

      I think I don't have any symptoms now. I have some fogginess but I'm not sure whether it's gluten. I think the gut related problems I described above were caused because I had giardiasis. It was treated and now I feel much better. However I started a gluten free diet after the parasite treatment so it's a bit unclear what was the reason. I'm going to repeat the tests after 2 months from now eating gluten to be sure it was giardiasis. Is it enough to do just "Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA" and "The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody"? Because my Immunoglobulin A result is normal IgG tests are not necessary if I understand it right. By the way, Merry Christmas!
