Act Ii Popcorn

Does anyone know if Act II popcorn (other than plain and buttered) are gluten-free? On delphiforums, it does state that Act II microwave popcorn is gluten-free, but does that mean all types? I'm particularly interested in the kettle corn, and the caramel corn.

Thanks for any help!!

good news for you and your kettle corn!

Are your products gluten free?

ACT II Microwave Popcorn does not contain gluten or related proteins obtained from wheat, rye, barley, and oats and ingredients derived from these cereal grains.

Allergen information obtained from our ingredient manufacturers states that the ingredients used in ACT II microwave popcorn do not contain gluten or related proteins obtained from wheat, rye, barley, and oats and ingredients derived from these cereal grains. ACT II microwave popcorn is made on dedicated equipment, eliminating the possibility of cross contamination.

Yeah, I know...I read that on their website too. But I still thought it was confusing as to whether ALL of the flavors were gluten-free. Maybe I am just paranoid? :blink

Too paranoid (which isn't necessarily bad). This means ALL Act II is gluten-free.

Has anyone had problems with the Act II Kettle corn? It appears to be gluten and dairy free. If this popcorn is not safe I'm going to have to buy the plain stuff since most popcorn contains some sort of dairy product.

I just noticed that they took the gluten free question off of their website and I read on a product list that one of their products contains gluten. I'm just wondering if this popcorn is still safe.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
