Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 You should be wary, but you should also know that just about every company puts this CYA disclaimer on their packages. They do clean the lines extensively between products, so it really should be ok. However, you need to decide this for yourself. -----Original Message-----From: Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 12:20 AMTo: SillyYaks Subject: cross contaminationI joined the group recently, and would like to thank you all for all the information that you share.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 "Scoops" Fritos are ok to eat. We have never reacted to them. They have their own unique shape and don't come in any other flavor then original, therefore, they are produced on a designated line in the factory. Call their 1-800 # though so you are comfortable with eating them.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Personally, I call manufacturers to find out if they actually clean the lines thoroughly between product runs. If they do, I will usually allow the item. If they don't clean or don't know what the cleaning practices are, then I don't let my daughter have them. I limit the Frito Lay products for my duaghter because of others negative experiences, however we have never had a reaction to either of these products. It's so hard, but you have to decide what is right for you. It seems that many, if not most, mainstream products are produced in facilites that make gluten products too. I just make the call based on the information I receive when I call customer service.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Our little one has eaten these numerous times as well and has never had a problem with them, and she reacts very violently to even tiny amounts. > " Scoops " Fritos are ok to eat.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 , my personal line allows the corn chips. My son and I both show a reaction to very trace amounts of wheat, and we've never reacted to the corn chips. Also, while I try VERY hard to prevent any cross-comtamination, the lengths I take can't even begin to compare to those taken by these companies. The equipment is taken apart and sterilized. I don't sterilize a knife in anything more than the dish washer! I do use separate toasters, and prepare the gluten free food first, so this cuts down on the risk, but it's still more likely to happen in your own kitchen. Now, I'm sure that there will be others who will strenuosly disagree. THis is really only my opinion, so do with it what you will. I've never felt sick from it, and neither has my son.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Oh...I agree with Becki re: the x-contamination. But I REALLY agree with her on the welcome,and that you'll LOVE this group! You will always wonder how people did this without the internet. I still can't figure it out....I'd be sooo far behind where we are now if it weren't for the internet and these groups!
