Aldi's Products

[summerteeth]

I finally got an email back from Aldi about the labeling on some of the products I either have purchased or have been interested in purchasing, but did not know if they were safe. Anyone else find it odd that mayonnaise is not safe?

Never heard of a mayo that's not gluten-free. I wonder what the ingredients are.

I do not find it odd. It says 'fit and active' which makes me think they are cutting out the fat so they have to replace it with something.

I use their regular mayonnaise with no problems. I don't buy any product that is low fat. First of all our bodies need healthy dietary fat for our muscles like our heart and for brain power. Secondly, as the PP pointed out when fat is reduced, it's usually replaced with sugar and/or gluten. I do not need either one of those!

There is some old info. out there that vinegar is not gluten-free, maybe they are going by that. There are also some mayos from oversees that contain malt vinegar.

only the whipped salad dressing at aldis is safe- aldis puts if its gluten free on the package. all you have to do is look on the back and it will say this products is naturally gluten free

The info on this thread is 2 years old which can make it ancient history in grocery store time! Re- check for the most current info & always check the ingredients. You never know when some food company will think it's a swell idea to add gluten.
