#Philadelphia cream cheese gluten free free#
We are offering our best advice, our combined years of experience and knowledge and helping others be less worrisome while learning to negotiate the gluten free waters. Hon, with all due respect, I do not think anyone is being confrontational with you. As one owner said when I asked "oh no! I don't put none of that crap in my stuff! " I know several locally made foods that label gluten-free but do not test for gluten. They will not want the expense of testing. When or if the law passes, I bet many things labelled gluten-free will no longer be labelled that way. Just because one brand chooses to label gluten-free in the US, at this time, does not mean they test for gluten. This could certainly be checked with the company at the manufacturing plant. Kraft makes so much cream cheese that it's likely that is all that is made in that factory.
( ice cream with cookies is an exception). Wheat or barley is rarely added to any dairy product. It is unlikely that crackers or bread are made in a cream cheese factory. We should applaud Kraft, not berate them!Īlso, I think we need to use some common sense. It doesn't get much better for those of us with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity. Only a small percentage of the members here are sensitive enough to be affected by miniscule amounts of cross contamination.Īs Peter mentioned, Kraft is a very reliable company that will list ALL forms of gluten on their ingredient listing, which is not required by law, as only wheat is required. I think the issue of cross contamination is HIGHLY overrated. They will declare all allergens on their label? I believe that's a requirement, or am I mistaken about that too? I don't see Kraft putting any effort forward. Yes, I can read labels, thank you.Īs for trusting Kraft - why should I trust a company who doesn't have the best interest of my family in mind? How many products have they produced with Celiac sufferers in mind? There are other companies who do a far better job at catering to people with allergies without making their wallets suffer. I am only repeating EXACTLY the same thing that is said in nearly all the other threads about gluten contamination.
You seem to have a problem with me? Is there any particular reason you feel the need to be so confrontational all the time? At this point in time, learning to read a label might serve you better.
Gluten free labeling in the US is totally voluntary, currently. If you have information that indicates otherwise, please post it. Products of Kraft will disclose all sources of gluten will be included on the labeling. Philadelphia Cream Cheese is manufactured by Kraft.
