It’s approved by the FDA if it is labeled gluten free.

There isnt a single source online recommending to eat McDonald Fries. The website you sent is from 2006. They were gluten free then. They recently started to spray a coating on fries that makes them crispy that does contain wheat. McDonald’s has said they aren’t gluten free. Even if they were the oil to fry them I’m is right next to the oils they use for a...

They made people aware that it wasn’t the same batch. Another group did test the same batch and it came out negative. The bagels at this time are safe. The ones that tested positive could go either way. We all know it could be a false positive or a negative. It’s up to the consumer to decide if they want to risk it. She helped me out with a product awhile bac...

According to her article she requested the same batch several times with no response. I will say it again. The FDA should go in and remove the batches themselves that test positive. No warning. They should be walking in and randomly testing products. They do NOT. It is the honor system that companies will do it on their own. I don’t think we need GFWD or C...

I’d say she tested and it was negative. She gave those results. They tested and it was positive. It’s up to the consumer to make a decision on whether or not they want to risk it.

The manufacturer shouldn’t be trusted to hand over the samples that need tested. The FDA should go in with no warning and take the sample/ batch that needs tested. Do you think the company is going to hand over a batch that tested positive? They are going to replace it with one they have already tested and know is safe. They don’t test every batch and are...

If they are frozen and coated with chicken broth then it could have yeast extract from barley. They don’t have to disclose that. I’ve found some brands of chicken broth with barley.

I would rather they discontinue if they aren’t doing to test properly. The problem I see here is all of these companies claim to be in compliance. The evidence says otherwise. Why is it left up to the manufacturer to hand over the batches being tested instead of the FDA going in and investigating and getting the batches of food themselves? For all we know t...

I find it hard to believe that Moms Across America hit a hotspot in that many products. Unless someone makes a surprise visit to these companies and makes them pull the same sample in front of them and then test it, they are able to fudge the books and use any sample they want. Instead they are contacted and given notice. Unannounced testing needs to be...

I’m more worried about high levels of gluten in gluten free food than I am the chemicals. We don’t know how much of it harmful to us or how much is in food. No one seems to agree. We KNOW gluten should not be over a certain amount and companies are doing it. Let’s all agree on that. What will we do about it?

I thought they did but after questioning them apparently not. It’s left up to the manufacturers and they arent monitored unless there is a complaint. I’ve had things labeled gluten free and when I questioned the company they said the imported ingredients aren’t tested. Stay away from the gluten free Idahoan Scalloped Potatoes. 😂

I’ve contacted the FDA and several companies on how often products with a gluten free logo are tested and I’ve gotten vague answers each time. No one can tell me a straight answer. Each batch is not tested. I contacted companies with certified gluten free logos about yeast extract and one company told me it was from barley but it passed the testing if it ...
