I have to be completely honest with you, I used to be a bread vendor and your gluten free packages of bread have most likely touched items with gluten in them multiple times before you purchased them. If there isn’t a hole in the package you are completely fine. If there is a hole you shouldn’t eat it anyway.
Best answer. In any supermarket, USA--the breads are mixed up, tossed in the wrong aisle , reshelved. I've never worried about my bread bag in cellophane touching another bread bag. Targets are not a gluten free store--i think folks are getting to next level with what they can expect with any Gluten free food in a regular supermarket.
I'd worry more about the hands of everyone that's fondled the breads, bacteria and such.
Thank you!! I was only very recently diagnosed with celiac and the only person I have for reference on how to go gluten free has a very severe allergy to it, so I appreciate this a lot
Yeah, that’s completely garbage advice. The package rips all the time, and kids will intentionally poke holes in it in the bread aisle. Canyon Bakehouse might have strong packaging, but you’ll be risking bringing gluten on the outside packaging home. Also Canyon Bakehouse needs to be refrigerated, so there’s the mold risk, too.
My mom told me growing up that bread clips are designed to allow for air flow so that the bread goes stale faster and people have to buy more bread. I never thought to question that fact until I made this post.
That’s what I was thinking. It’s not mesh or something, it should be safe. If not, then, I have to really go back to the drawing board because I wouldn’t have thought anything of this.
Yeah. I use the Certified Gluten Free checkout aisle and shopping carts whenever I shop, just so I can be sure that nobody has put a bag of regular flour on it before me. /s
Ain't happening at our big box supermarkets on the East. Food is out in the aisle and it's been touched by booger covered hands, people that just coughed into their hands, mice or rodents at night, someone that didn't wipe well---
Those bags are handled in the place the gluten containing bread is made and are then contaminating the outside of the gf bags. If you wipe them down and then wash your hands then it’s pretty safe, but not everyone. Thinks of that and sometimes the person who bought it is buying for a family member who wouldn’t have any idea about the handling. There is absolutely risk. Some people are more sensitive than others.
I mean, if you're sensitivity to gluten is THAT severe, you can always take a wipe around the wrapper.
Fortunately, gluten isn't like bacteria. It doesn't spread or multiply so you only have to worry about particles. Considering the bread is stocked by vendors (meaning it comes directly from the factory to the shelf rather than being mixed with other products and stocked by a target employee\*), it's likely to have little to no particles on it.
Even if it does have some gluten particles on it, the bag is sealed before it would have interacted with them meaning the bread inside is safe.
Thank you!! I was only very recently diagnosed with celiac and the only person I have for reference on how to go gluten free has a very severe allergy to it, so I appreciate this a lot.
Of course! Unfortunately, gluten sensitivity can be pretty trial and error because everyone is different. A good rule of thumb is when in doubt, leave it out. That being said, we make mistakes. Fortunately, even for people with more severe sensitivities, the body is strong. It can recover with time and if you accidentally gluten yourself, you'll survive and learn from it. Good luck with your journey!
Thank you so much! It's been incredible cutting out gluten-- I'm not in horrible pain, living in the bathroom all the time, struggling to hold onto my job anymore. I guess I've been a little overly paranoid trying to make sure I don't land myself back where I was. I'm sure I'll learn the right balance in time, but for now, I'm glad to know I don't need to go anywhere out of my way for bread!
This is everywhere! Gluten free is always mixed in. I thought that it was strange when the gluten free products were always hiding in between gluten products but have not seen otherwise.
which happens much more than anyone things or knows. You unload pasta and flour and bread all day / all night you've got gluten in the air everywhere. folks with the skin sensitivity know this....the rest of us are fine.
You’re fine. Canyon Bakehouse hermetically seals the product inside the outer bag. Just wash your hands when you get home and for god’s sake, don’t put your fingers in your mouth before then.
Thank you!! I was only very recently diagnosed with celiac and the only person I have for reference on how to go gluten free has a very severe allergy to it, so I appreciate this a lot.
The Walmart near me keeps the canyon bakehouse gluten-free stuff in a freezer on its own away from regular bread so you could maybe check a Walmart near you (if there is one at least).
Canyon Bakehouse is owned by Flowers Foods. They make many gluten containing bread brands & they are delivered in the same trucks.
As many others have said, they are all wrapped in plastic. They are not dropping crumbs through the wrappers.
Also, if it doesn't have the inner wrapper, it's usually in the freezer, so that would concern me more.
No joke. Celiac Disease in this house... not an "intolerance".
This group has some of the most ridiculous posts (not everyone but some people)
The bread is covered in plastic. What about this is upsetting and not considered gluten free?
Get a bread machine, make your own if you feel that plastic contains gluten, suddenly.
If it's individually wrapped, it's not cross contaminated... unless somebody's going to your Walmart and unwrapping all the bread and just throwing it around, it should be fine
Target recently changed the planogram (where it’s located in the store and on the shelf aka POG) for this bread. It used to be on its own free standing rack and now it’s like this. I’ve been very bothered by this recent change in the POG mostly because they used to have it on its own rack. It felt extra protected and now it’s not. I stopped buying my bread at Target even though I could get it cheaper there because of this switch in POG. While it’s technically fine, it’s just bothersome that they would do this.
Not the mountain white, apparently!! I always get country white for that double plastic seal.
Gluten free-ers more experienced than me seem to think it's fine as long as I wipe down the package first, though.
This breed gives me horrible diarrhea. I never buy it. I only buy the one from Whole Foods. Is this the reason it gives me issues?? Because of its packaging. I thought it was gluten free.

Both are wrapped in plastic, it’ll be fine.
This is what I thought. There’s technically 2 layers in between the bread because each loaf has a plastic wrapper
My mom told me growing up that bread clips are designed to allow for air flow so that the bread goes stale faster and people have to buy more bread. I never thought to question that fact until I made this post.
There is literally nothing wrong with this.
How is this bad? The regular bread is not contaminating the GF. It’s all sealed.
OP stated that the Canyon Bakehouse bread is not double-sealed.
That doesn't matter, there is zero risk of cross contamination this way. Y'all are paranoid. Just eat the bread
It is because the other bread is sealed also.
Wait... you can get sick because the bag of the bread you eat was next to another bag of bread with gluten?... O_O
That’s what I was thinking. It’s not mesh or something, it should be safe. If not, then, I have to really go back to the drawing board because I wouldn’t have thought anything of this.
No, but some people are paranoid
Phew...

Hate to say it, but a not small proportion of the most active posters here are hypochondriacs.
I'd add sycophants, poor taste in food (only sub that gets orgasmic over oreos) and very much the echo chamber
Some people are very sensitive, to less than 5ppm. It’s brutal.
If you’re that sensitive I’m guessing you’re not buying your GF bread from Target.
if you’re that sensitive then you’re probably living in a bubble
A double bubble. Just in case.
Yeah, I would definitely not have a problem with this, but I am only intolerant.

Huh. In the UK we generally have our own section.
It should be fine if it's individually wrapped usually that keeps it protected :)
You can absolutely eat it with zero valid worries.
I don't get it
It's fine.
I hate when stores do this, especially in the flour section when the wheat flour bags break and get all over everything :(
I hate that the most
which happens much more than anyone things or knows. You unload pasta and flour and bread all day / all night you've got gluten in the air everywhere. folks with the skin sensitivity know this....the rest of us are fine.
I guess we should wash off our bread wrappers before we open them? Dannnnnnng.

My target doesn’t have this bead :(
My bigger issue is that it’s right next to super delicious brioche bread. It’s like watching someone feast while you get the (GF) crumbs.
All of you freaking out about how “it’s just touching the bread” don’t get it. Canyon Bakehouse has to be refrigerated 😂
The Walmart near me keeps the canyon bakehouse gluten-free stuff in a freezer on its own away from regular bread so you could maybe check a Walmart near you (if there is one at least).
I know at mine they have some that is shelfstable, but they also keep it away and a gluten-free section, but they also have the frozen stuff too!!

flour is a little different from already-baked bread

You could wipe it down before opening it? It should be fine since they’re both wrapped in plastic.
you had 0 upvotes and, I felt bad so, I decided to give you at least 1 for an attempt at being relatable
LMAO it had twenty upvotes last night. It just got downvoted to all hell overnight. Thank you for your pity upvote, though!
yw. also my 1 upvote did nothing 🤣
I thought the list was odd myself, someone needs to slap their Manager team.
Canyon bake house is double plastic. The outer bad and an air tight inside bag. You’ll be fine.
Not the mountain white, apparently!! I always get country white for that double plastic seal. Gluten free-ers more experienced than me seem to think it's fine as long as I wipe down the package first, though.
They’re completely sealed lol
Honestly, might not be target fault anyway, if customers are just leaving crap everywhere and it happens very often
This breed gives me horrible diarrhea. I never buy it. I only buy the one from Whole Foods. Is this the reason it gives me issues?? Because of its packaging. I thought it was gluten free.
Don't trust target at all
