Ian's Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

I have celiac disease, I am lactose intolerant and also allergic to eggs, so when I first found Ian's Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets and saw that they were not only gluten free, but also dairy free and egg free, I was extremely excited to find something that I could make when I needed a quick meal. I was hesitant at first because of the price and the fact that they seem to have nothing in them due to them being completely allergen free so I wondered if they could really taste that good?

Ian's Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets I was pleasantly surprised with their taste and texture and find them to be very good. I have now been buying them regularly since 2003 and eat them at least once or twice a week when I need a quick meal. As someone with so many food allergies, to have a quick meal and for it to be something I actually enjoy eating is something that isn't easy to find.

I have read quite a few reviews of people who do not like them and think they are too dry, however the right barbecue sauce can take care of that problem. I agree they are some what dry if you eat them plain, but I would recommend that you use your favorite barbecue sauce and that will take care of any problems you may have with them being a little dry. If you can not find a gluten free barbeque sauce that you like I would recommend Saz's Barbeque Sauce, it is the only gluten free barbeque sauce I have found that I would recommend.

An added bonus that Ian's offers is the superfit kid points on each box. You can save the points for different prizes, however as an adult who enjoys eating Ian's Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets, you can also use the points to get coupons for Free Ian's products. The points are geared towards children and you have to fill out a form from there web site to redeem them, but since I am an adult, all I do is when I'm ready to redeem my points, I contact Ian's and let them my situation and they are always more then willing to send me coupons for my points. You can also visit there web site to request money saving coupons if you are interested in trying one of there products for the first time.

Many stores in our organic food stores directory carry gluten free foods and there is a good chance you will find a local store that carries Ian's Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets.

Ian's Nutritional Information

No Artificial Colors, Flavors or Preservatives
Ian's adheres to stringent USDA regulations using a minimally processed standard for all of our products. So ingredients are not processed, modified, atomized or autolyzed.

No Hydrogenated Oils
Ian's products don't contain hydrogenated oils or trans fats. Plus, we use only the best non-hydrogenated soybean, canola and cottonseed oils. Now banned in California, studies show that trans fats can cause non-insulin dependent type II diabetes and may increase your risk of heart disease and cancer.

No Refined Sugars
Refined sugar has no nutritional value. It can also rob your body of much-needed nutrition, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. As a substitute, Ian's uses evaporated cane juice that has been extracted from pure sugar cane and dehydrated. What's left is a sugar substitute that retains all of its rich, all-natural vitamins and minerals.

No Hormones or Antibiotics
Ian's uses only premium high-quality beef that's free-range grazed and fed a nutritious vegetarian diet full of all-natural minerals and amino acids. We never use hormones or antibiotics, while prohibiting animal by-products in the feed and eliminating the risk of mad cow disease.

No Bleached Flours
Typically, flour is bleached using potassium bromate, a chemical used as an oxidizing agent. Europe, Japan and Canada have banned the use of Potassium bromate, while flours containing it in California must carry a warning label stating its potential as a carcinogen. At Ian's, we prohibit the use of bleached flours in all of our food products.

No Chicken Skin
To reduce cost, most manufacturers put 20 percent chicken skin into their nugget products. But Ian's all-natural chicken products do not contain chicken skin. We use only 100 percent white meat chicken to provide a tastier product with enhanced texture and up to 60 percent reduced fat content.

No Tripolyphosphates
Ian's fish products are frozen just once on the boat and remain frozen until cooking. So you can enjoy whole foods that tastes fresh without tripolyphosphates, which other manufacturers use to preserve fish products that are frozen, thawed and refrozen.

Less Fat and More Protein
Ian's meals have half the saturated fat of other kid's food brands and equal or more protein per gram and per serving size.

Healthy Allergen-Free Choices
The number of people suffering from food allergies grows 10 percent each year. Ian's is one of the few companies that offers delicious wheat-free and gluten-free options. In fact, all of Ian's allergen-free specialty foods are wheat, gluten, dairy, egg, nut and soy-free. We also provide a convenient tool to search all Ian's products for specific allergens.

I have not been paid or in any way compensated for my comments or opinions by Ian's Natural Foods. I simply enjoy Ian's products and am sharing my opinions with people who have food allergies like myself.
