Is Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowl gluten-free?

Yes I know better and should have called first. But....I was hungry and in a rush..... I had bought the Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl (eggs, bacon, and cheese) for a quick and easy breakfast. I have not had a chance to call them yet. I thought Jimmy Dean had good labeling practices and there were no gluten items listed in the label. There was something suspect like dextrose or maladextrin....Anyway I got sick. It's a few days later now and my stomach still feels like it was used for a punching bag. Just wanted to know if the breakfast bowl was the item or if I have to look harder.

I'm going to resurrect this thread because I'd like to know the answer.

It's gluten-free, although not the one with pancakes, of course.

Jimmy Dean is part of Sara Lee, which has good gluten free labeling practices (no hidden gluten) http://www.glutenfreeinsd.com/manufacturers_statements2.html

According to the ingredients, it is gluten free

I have been eating Jimmy Deans breakfast bowls and the entrees forever now, and i have never had any reaction at all. It must have been something else you ate.

Has anyone spoken with the company because I have one in my freezer I was about to eat till I saw MODIFIED FOOD STARCH. Also does anyone know about the Aunt Jemima Breakfast bowls? :huh: This is still all new to me, I hear to look for carmel color also, is that always gluten?

lovegrov Collaborator

Caramel color is safe.

If it says modified food starch but doesn't list wheat, it's going to be safe.

I know this thread is eight years old, but I'm bringing it back because ingredients have (very likely) changed since 2009.

Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls still don't list gluten, wheat, etc.

But they did give my mom and I terrible stomachaches. I know the scientific method calls for repeat experiments but we don't really feel like it.

However, I will say we usually stick to a strict gluten-free diet (only eat if it states gluten-free or if there's no way it contains gluten; fruit, veggies, etc) So it's extremely unlikely it was anything else.

These were just a risk we took because there's so few explicitly gluten-free quick meals- we both work long-hour jobs and have school so quick meals are very helpful.

TL;DR: They are very likely NOT gluten-free. Just because it doesn't say gluten/wheat in the ingredients doesn't mean it's not present. Call me paranoid, but I feel it's a good rule.

These are definitely not gluten free! I wish I could pin point which ingredient has the gluten! 

I ate this yesterday and it made me super sick, I also woke up today with bad brain fog which I haven't experienced before. Be careful guys! Even my gluten free app told me this product was gluten free :(

yes, but the ratio of potatoes is too much for me

Shared equipment and facility, they also makes bowls with gluten biscuits etc. in them......same machinery just a different run and they do not cater to the gluten free community so they do not try to be careful avoiding contamination.

The Jimmy Dean products that are gluten free will actually say GLUTEN FREE on them. If they don't say gluten free on them then the company says they are not gluten free.

      Great question! To make it easier for our customers, any of our gluten-free products will have "gluten-free" on the package's label. I hope this helps!

    This is one of their sausages that is gluten free & it is marked so. Look to the left of the nutrition information underneath the ingredients list. There is a bit of a blank space & then you see the words GLUTEN FREE.
    We buy these & eat them but none of the others say gluten free.

Although gluten free, it could be the other products on the bowl which are making your stomachs hurt...such as the bacon grease, the preservatives in the ham, the starch from the potatoes, or perhaps the eggs?

Gluten is only part of the story...

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
