Isn't granola made with oats and therefore naturally gluten free?

Contamination is minor (20-2000 parts per million) and only a concern if you are truly allergic to gluten. If simply on a gluten-free diet for health reasons normal oats are fine.

All that said, this product contains 25% sugar...

Comical replys above.. Coeliac disease sufferers would never dream of eating anything even with a zillionath of gluten in it.. Why take a risk with ur health ??

Regarding sugar - this is the issue with the broad majority of the "gluten free" range in the big stores, almost always, we are dealing with highly refined junk food. Better skipping all of this overpriced garbage and eating simple whole foods. I do find this range frustrating and irritating and wish much of it would vanish.

Have you seen those ridiculous soups & stews they sell in those sections that cost about £2.50 a can! What! I recall trying them when they were 1/2 price and they were utterly revolting, no better than a cheap can of Heinz. A total rip off.

You would be if you were coeliac. :wink:

Serving size is 30g I believe so 7.5g of sugar from practically honey and fruit isn't the end of the world.

reality check guys... gluten free for a coeliac is a must / you have no choice. anybody who consumes a lot of sugar will always have the choice of getting off their lardy **** and burning off the calories.

Im pretty allergic and traces of gluten have set me off. this is a bargain as gluten free food is expensive. Good find op!

agree... good find op.... keep them coming ..... g/f products sooooooo expensive !!!

commentary from people who do not know the difference between a choice, an auto-immune disease, an allergy and an intolerance.

poo-poo when you have a clue.

Fair enough but you're clearly not a coeliac then, anything over 20ppm will trigger a very unpleasant/painful/debilitating reaction. Regular oats are out, processed and grown alongside with wheat (and some coeliacs can't tolerate the protein avenin in even free from oats, which to them acts like gluten.

I have a reaction / intolerance to stupid people who talk about stuff they know jack s.... about. why do I come here to ukhot deals ??. comeback 99p condom jokes... far better banter

and yes let me get in first... condoms are gluten free

​where have people got these figures from such as this 20ppm? a reaction would depend on the amount of gluten comsumed and the sensitivity of the individual. and i say tat a a medical professional. of course patients with actual disease maybe more knowledgeable than me because they live with disease. anywy dont want to get into arguments. my main point was re the sugar.

I have tried these now, you really cant tell there is honey in it at all. Worst problem is I am getting chronic heartburn all day long after eating it - not for me then maybe I am intolerant to oats as well as gluten.

20ppm is the maximum amount that a coeliac can tolerate which is of course very tiny and is the legal threshold for which something can be labelled specifically as gluten-free. Any higher and they suffer the consequences regardless if it's a small bite or a plate of gluten. What people are getting at is that if you're coeliac and stuck with the relatively limited range of foods or what used to be thanks to the diet fad, a bit of sugar isn't something you'd be overly concerned with.

Plus it's one bowl and the sugar is mainly from honey and fruit. I'm sure people happily add a teaspoon or 2 of honey to their porridge. :smiley:

Gluten sensitivity in non-coeliacs is a bit of a grey area.

Ah now I see why you were overly concerned with the sugar content. I too don't want to get into an argument but I just wanted to say that I hope you consider that Lustig's views and theories are unproven and go against current consensus when reading/watching his work.

​I would disagree re the unproven. If you read the actual research - not just his -together with the biochemistry, it all stacks up. There are many vested interests in keeping people misinformed and consuming large amounts of sugars. But I will leave it that.

Looked at this tonight. It's like 20% sugar plus honey. Even this isn't good for you

​I ask again where do you get this figure that 20ppm is the maximum a coeliac can tolerate? It may well be a threshold for labelling but these two things are not the same.

Yeah, it's just a labelling law, which is no good to me because I can't tolerate any at all.

I've mentioned it before, but I find it ridiculous that gluten free food can have gluten in it.

I'm in the minority, I suppose, but to me, gluten free should mean exactly that.

Sorry I got that wrong, I assumed that number existed for the wrong reason reason - law on gluten-free


Whilst a coeliac can consume very tiny amounts, around 50mg a day according to a study by Catassi et al., this still equates to an impractical amount of "normal" food. For example, less than a nibble of regular bread would likely be enough to evoke a reaction. Of course everyone is different so even 20ppm might be too high for some.
