Re: Healthy Choice deli meats?

[Guest guest]

I called about Healthy choice and they said they could mail me a list in 4-5

weeks. After I laughed and said I'd have to throw out the meat before then,

their nutritionist called back and left an answering machine message that the

turkey was ok. My guys didn't like it so we won't get it again. we buy

Applegate because it's prepackaged and no nitrates, but they're not crazy

about it and I think it's very salty. (They make a great Sunday bacon by the

way) How do you control for cross contamination on deli machines? Other

brands use wheat, soy, etc. Also, would it help to go to a kosher deli? I'm

glad you brought up the cold cut question because I've been wondering.

I am not a deli meat buyer , but I was just wondering, aren't other

non-GFCF coldcuts and cheeses sliced on the same deli slicer? This

would be cross contamination.

I called Healthy Choice about 2 weeks ago and was told that the chicken

breast was gfcf and that if there products do have it it must be listed in

the ingredients. My son eats it he gives me no trouble eating it and

has had no affect on him.

hope this helps,i have tried it myself and it was good with Ms. Robbens

potato bread.

Where do you buy Applegate products?

We still buy deli meat, but I know you run the risk of

cross contamination. Some of the meats even have

cocoa in them, which my toddler is allergic to.

Klementz makes an awesome deli roast beef that appears

to be GFCF, but it does contain cocoa. If you do

still want to buy deli meats, go to a store with a

large deli that uses separate slicers for cheese and

meat. Delis in an area with a large Jewish population

should do that. That will cut down on casein risk. I

think a Jewish deli would still be risky, though,

because some of their meats might contain gluten.
