I know that others have written Target about a gluten free list. I just did and this was the response that I got:Subject: Gluten Content Inquiry All headers

Dear Wendy Martin,

Thanks for your inquiry about the gluten content of our Archer Farms products. Helping to ensure the health and safety of guests and their families is our number one priority at Target.

I'm sorry Target doesn't currently offer gluten-free list for our products. However, the eight major allergens are indicated either in a statement directly under the ingredient list or in the body of the ingredient listing. The labels on our products are the first place to look for the most accurate information about the possible use of gluten in a product.

Additionally, we're always here to help. If you're ever wondering about the possibility of cross-contamination or the gluten content of a specific product, we're happy to research the item for you. Just call our grocery specialists at (866) 423-2135. When you call, please be sure you have the packaging. That way, we can quickly get you the information you need.

Great products. Great [uTF-8?]value—that's what shopping at Target is all about. Your comments are a big help to us, and I'll make sure to share them with our grocery team.

We'll keep working to make sure you can always count on the quality you've come to expect from Target.

Sincerely,

Gregg

I'm new to adding a comment or question to this forum but have found it extremely helpful as I continue my research on gluten-free diet. My son and I are 2+ months gluten-free and it's changed our lives!

I'm wondering if anyone has any updates on any Archer Farms foods from SuperTarget. I'm finding I react when I eat anything from Archer Farms, but haven't been able to narrow it strictly to the AF brand or if something else had gluten. It would be nice to know if any of their items were off-limits or okay.

Thanks!

i've called them before about their organic fruit strips and fruit bars.... they are totally gluten free and no gluten is handled on the machinery. they were very helpful and knowledgeable, just be sure you know the UPC # of the product so they can look it up.

Based on their response above, it sounds like they are only declaring wheat on the labels. Barley, rye and oats could easily be hiding in natural flavors, etc. I avoid them because they've never been very helpful when inquiring about the status of a product. I prefer to stick to brands that clearly labels all forms of gluten.

Just wanted to ad a few cents here. I have called many times on the Market Pantry Target brand, and they are not that helpful. You can only call Monday through Friday, between 9 and 6 in whichever time zone their office is located. When I called they told me that due to constant changes in ingredient suppliers I would have to call every time I want to know about a product, as they base the info off the lot and batch number. This went for their foods and medications. They only list the major allergens as required, and due to the constant changes they will not do anything else.

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
