Trader Joe's Guacamole
« on: December 10, 2009, 07:43:54 PM »
Has anyone had any issues with Trader Joe's Avocado's Number Guacamole? 

I broke out in hives soon after eating it.  I checked the ingredients and found that it contains white vinegar, which I believe caused the hives.

I've had guacamole purchased at Trader Joe's but I'm not certain if it was that specific product.  I have no history of problems after eating guacamole.

Breaking out in hives sounds more like a typical allergic reaction than a reaction to gluten.  People can have allergic reactions to just about any food ingredient.  Unfortunately it seems as though many people with celiac disease also have some food allergy problems.
