Were they just panicking or is this based on their really knowing something?

In our house, we're mad about home-made cranberry sauce. We hoard good-quality, sorted cranberries, which we freeze, for use throughout the winter months. We're a little suspicious about the pre-frozen cranberries, as we can't check for quality.

Home-made cranberry sauce, the plain kind, stays good for a very long time in the refrigerator. But usually people use it up right away during snack raids.

I went to the Walnut Creek Whole Foods today to find out the pre-made

GF options. Well, it was a very informative visit.

They showed me the list of items that they will be offering. In BIG

BOLD RED letters it says SOME ITEMS ARE NOT MADE IN A DEDICATED

GLUTEN-FREE FACILITY. So, I asked which items. They said they didn't

know. I asked about the turkey, which is by Diestel and they said that

it is raised at a family owned ranch in the Sierra Foothills and

shouldn't be prepared or injected with any gluten containing items.

Luckily, I did see the packaging for the Diestel Natural Turkey and it

said it was JUST turkey, no fillers. They suggested that everyone

pre-order their turkey to be on the safe side.

According to the Holiday Table informants, the gluten-free items, will

be available starting November 20th, over on the far left of the store

across from the Deli. So when you see the deli, turn and it is on the

aisle which has a refrigerated unit. Generally that unit houses

pre-made lunches, some beverages (like Tejava) and occasionally I have

seen gluten-free bread in that area. However, the bread has since

moved to the dedicated Gluten-Free freezer.

The informants were very thorough about answering ALL my questions.

They even asked how sensitive I was and I explained that I am a

Celiac.. As soon as I said that they immediately advised that I NOT

get any of the pre-made items that were offered in their list. So,

hopefully this helps out a little for anyone planning a safe

Thanksgiving dinner.

I did go to Mariposa today, the bread cubes looked great for making a

stuffing. Just a little daunting for someone (me) who has never made

stuffing from scratch. Recipe time!

I wonder if each Whole Foods is different when it comes to their

gluten-free offerings?

I know for sure there is a woman at walnut creek WF who is very well

informed and I think her mother helped start one of the celiac

camps... I live in berkeley but check out the walnut creek every now

and then as they seem to be better informed on gf stuff.

I have to buy a can in my family, too! AFAIK, Ocean Spray brand is

gluten free; I just can't eat it due to issues with corn, and I think

the canned sauce has both kinds of corn syrup.
