Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 The Food Lion brand has potato starch and corn starch and no flour...I buy it and haven't had any problems.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thank you for sharing this information! I would personally have no hesitation about trying blue cheeses except I hate the taste of the blue cheeses... yech. I know, i know, i fail the foodie test. When we were in Venice (4 years ago) we went to one kinda fancy restaurant. I think I had risotto. Then for dessert we ordered the cheese plate (one great thing about travelling in europe is that this is an option). I found half of the cheeses repulsive but it was still fun. > > We were just taught at our support group that blue cheese is okay. they used to think it was not, but the thinking has changed. I spend a tiny amount of time googling it and here is the rationale explained on the forum at Celiac.com: > > http://www.glutenfreeforum.com/lofiversion/index.php/t11967.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I > found half of the cheeses repulsive but it was still fun. > > Only half? If I *Think* about cheese too long, I find 98% of it repulsive. :-) And cheese and eggs together? Ugh. Before Baby 1, I LOVED cheese omelettes. But pregnancy with Baby 1 turned that combination into the ultimate gag dish. Pregnancy with Baby 1 also ruined coffee for me. The coffee disgust only lasted 7 years though. The cheese + eggs disgust has persisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've seen some that use potato flour. I'm thinking Trader Joes brands, but not sure at the moment.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I tried to order the back issue yesterday and apparently it is not in print. The site said to email for more info, which I haven't done yet. I picked up the issue that came out after Spring 2005 (Fall or Winter, I can't recall) at Who;e Foods a while ago. This is where I got the blue cheese info, from letters about the previous issue. I really liked the magazine overall and it isn't as expensive if you subscribe. It's one of those things that I just haven't gotten around to yet. Lori in ATL > > You can order the magazine here: > http://glutenfreeliving.com/spring_2005.html > > Is it any good?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I buy shredded cheese at walmart every week and have never seen one with flour in it. We buy the fiesta mix, cheddar, mozzarella, and occasionally Monterey jack. Some regional differences probably occur, but in Texas I have yet to find a walmart cheese with flour. They have all been gf.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I stopped buying the Walmart cheese cuz the formula must have changed and it didn't taste the same. I found a 2 pack of 1lb Mexican mix at Sams for ... I want to say $5.33. Kraft no less so I feel it's more safe...AND cheaper!Cheaper is good! AND it tastes better! : ) kathi in houstonrichabec wrote: I buy shredded cheese at walmart every week and have never seen one with flour in it.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 This was atleast a year ago, if not 2 years ago, so they could have changed their formula. It may not have even been Wal-Mart brand. I just remember it was a store brand, and not Kroger. And I have seen other shredded cheeses that had potato starch in them, so not all shredded cheeses use cellulose. It is always best to triple check everything and never assume. > > > > Have you actually found a shredded cheese that uses > > flour? I haven't.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I personally haven't found any with flour in them either, but I have seen many with starches (potato, corn, modified food starch). I'm not saying that there aren't any out there with flour in them. It is ALWAYS best to read the labels every time. I rarely buy shredded cheese, but when I do I just stick with a brand that has potato or corn starch. I prefer grated block cheese though because it melts better. nn in CA ~Original Message~ I too haven't found a shredded cheese that has flour in it. That actually scared me!!
