Is Udi's Bread Always Frozen?

I have just bought my first loaf of Udi's bread here in San Francisco. I haven't tasted it yet--put it straight in the freezer. Most of the bread I see is frozen in the stores. Is this always the case with Udi's bread? Do people buy it frozen and then just defrost it for sandwiches?

At Mothers Market in Orange County, some of the stores put it on the shelf with the regular bread. Not even refrigerated! I leave mine in the fridge after taking it out of the freezer.

At the Whole Foods I go to, it's on a shelf along with the other Udi's baked goods--not in the freezer. :)

I get my UDI's loaves at Whole Foods and it's on the shelf, not frozen! And I leave mine right on the counter...the loaf has been there over a week before and nothing has happened to it, tastes good still!

Yep, UDI's at my Whole Foods is on the shelf, but in a separate gluten-free section. I freeze mine as soon as I get home and just pull out slices as I need them. I love Udi's bread and pizza crust!!

I'm lucky and can drive to Udi's and get a loaf that is not frozen, but at grocery stores it is always frozen. We keep a loaf in our kitchen, undefrosted and it keeps well for about a week (we've never had a loaf go uneaten that long anyway). It's the only gluten-free bread I've found that is truly edible and tasty straight out of the package.

Well, I can only get it frozen in San Francisco . . . but I ain't complaining--this stuff is amazing. I can actually make decent sandwiches. Great stuff!

I've been buying Udi bread fresh from Whole Foods but I recently found another bread that I love even more. Unfortunately I can't get it around the Dallas area so I have to order it online. The Katz Gluten Free bread/bakery line is excellent. The Challah has a sweet nuttiness and the slices are moist and fluffy. It doesn't break or crumble. I started off toasting it and tried it without toasting and was hooked. I've used it for sandwiches with the Daiya no dairy cheddar cheese shreds for grilled cheese sandwiches and with homemade chicken salad sandwiches - very yummy. Their buns and baked goods are delicious. This product really is even better than Udi... just not as convenient to buy.

Agreed - Katz is awesome! Their mini challahs and their cinnamon rugelich are so good!

I like Udi's a lot, too. I bought mine at Woodman's and it was in the frozen section next to Katz and Kinnikinick.

Hi, I, too am an Udi's fan, and live in the Bay Area. Where do you buy Udi's? I've found it at Whole Foods in San Mateo, and at Good Health in the Oceana Market in Pacifica. It's so good to have real sandwiches again...

I too can only find it frozen where I am at. THe first time I bought it I was so excited based on the reviews here. The first loaf was really good. I ate it out of the package and it made a heck of a grilled cheese. I went back and bought four more loves and I have one left in the freezer. Maybe I'ts just me or I got my bread fix out of my system, but the two loaves I have had since have not been very good except for grilled cheese. The bread has been really, really really, (O.K. I guess you get the point) dry. Noone seems to like it now. I don't think I will spend the money to buy it anymore because these loaves have been a disappointment. I guess it was good while it lasted.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
