Was given a bag of nuts still in the shells and didn't even think to read it (usually I am super overthetop careful), so I've been munching away happily and thought hm maybe I should check...

"May Contain Wheat"

SERIOUSLY???

Sounds like they're covering all the bases, huh? Major CYA statement in case the shells are covered in flour or something...huh.gif

My guess is that they also process nuts and add flavouring, which may contain wheat, and want to cover their bases. Also some companies that make packs of nuts also seem to make cracker and nut mixes, which would have wheat.

Goes to show you just can't trust anything! Hopefully you haven't been glutened, if the shells are intact and they seemed clean then you might get away with it.

Well so far I feel fine, the shells were all intact and yah I guess the company is covering their butts because it also lists dairy, shellfish, and eggs under the "may contain". I'm paranoid now though...guess I won't eat them. I don't really see how it could get in through the shell and contaminate the nuts but it it was on the outside then cracking them I'm sure would contaminate? Maybe I could wash them?

I've noticed similar things with nuts from Costco but not necessarily in the shell.

I would take it as a CYA legal disclaimer and not worry about it. YMMV.

      Giving up grains entirely

      By trents · Posted

      My bad. The reason it is important to rinse quinoa is because of saponins, not lectins. Some people, and I am one of them, get very ill from the saponins. Like lectins, saponins are part of the natural defense mechanism of some plants. https://www.allrecipes.com/article/should-you-rinse-quinoa/

      I didn't want anyone to think rinsing quinoa would get rid of lectins.   Terribly sorry, read your post too fast.   Rinsing rice isn't recommended because rinsing rice will dissolve the added vitamins (they look like grains of rice).

      Severe joint swelling from Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jean Shifrin Yes, I get achy swelling joints if exposed to gluten.  The antigluten antibodies can attack the connective tissue in joints.   Here's an interesting article...

      Good point. But I have been made very ill by eating unwashed quinoa that was not cooked but used in a side salad.
