I have just received a message that stated the Orowheat breads are
contaminated with the same problematic wheat gluten that is used in
the recalled pet foods.
Orowheat refuses to confirm or deny..why?
Now what do we do. Guess it is back to baking by hand.

Can you state a source? I did a Google and I haven't seen anything
regarding it.

Do you know if they sell under other labels? That packaging looks
similar to what I buy, but I never heard of Orowheat before this.

The important statement in that article is this:

"So far, the agency reports no toxins found in the food."

I thought the important statement was "The Food and Drug Administration said
it's beginning an "across the board" investigation into human foods that
contain wheat gluten.", as the statement addresses the concerns voiced here.

I'm glad they are checking but really, what are the odds that everyone who
manufactures bread bought the same product? It sounded to me like Menu
Foods bought most of the stuff. Even Purina, manufacturer of the Hill's
Science Diet line, only bought a small portion of it and (so far) has only
recalled the m/d feline version. You have to know, Purina makes a *lot* of
pet food!

Having said that, I used to buy Orowheat hamburger buns. In the 1980's
everyone thought whole wheat this, whole wheat that, oh so much better for
you! Until one day I actually read the label on the package. And it said
it contained *wood chips*. Um... excuse me. I'm not Euell Gibbons. Don't
care to eat a pine tree, thanks very much! They probably don't do that
anymore but I found it put me a bit off on buying anything with the Orowheat
(OroWHAT?!) name on the package! LOL

FWIW, it's "Oroweat." I've only seen it on the west
coast. It's sold in most large chain supermarkets and
is a notch or two better than the supermarket brand,
although it seems to have declined in recent years. In
its better days, I would think of it as being about on a
par with the Arnold's or Pepperidge Farm products
circa 1965 which I recall from the east coast.

Many of the current news stories quote the Chinese firm in question as
saying that they didn't produce the wheat gluten but bought it from several
other suppliers. So I guess all US companies wouldn't have had to buy from
just that one firm. This story still has more legs.

I seem to remember Hollywood brand bread as having wood pulp or
sawdust or something along those lines. My grandma always had it,
along with Aids. Anyone remember that crap- diet candy called Aids??
Bet that would be a big seller in this day and age!!

IIRC it was spelled "Aydes", but I don't that would be enough to save it
today.

Arnold's Country White is my usual go to bread for sandwiches.
The packaging looked similar to me, which made me curious.

Thanks for the reponse.

Okay, I was just waking up, but I swear this is what I heard on
Good Morning America.

Someone talked to a manager at the Chinese company who said
he is just a middleman. But it's on record that he arranged to purchase
melamine for someone else. ????

I really should have hit record. I can't find a cite for what I heard.

There you've gone and done it.

Now someone will start a rumor that Arnold's or Pepperidge Farm products
manufactured on the east coast since 1965 are being recalled.

It's getting to be like yelling "Hi, Jack" to your buddy in the airport

Back in that day HIGH FIBER was the buzzword and wood pulp certainly
fit the definition.

Ayds. It was popular when I was in college. It never appealed
to me, but then in those days I wasn't overweight. Hollywood bread did
have wood fiber added along with artificial color so it looked healthier
than it really was.

When we moved to Colorado in 1984, Orowheat was labeled
"known as Arnold's in the east", much like Hellman's/Best Foods
mayonnaise labeling.

Do they still sell Arnold's bread on the east coast?

Ayds, and the similarity did doom it.

Wow! That's what I was wondering.

Yes, they do. They are owned by the same people who own
Entenmann's. I don't see Oroweat on the list of companies they own.

Apparently so... except I didn't sign up for that! LOL I just didn't want
to bake whole wheat hamburger buns from scratch. I was cooking with (and
still do) wheat germ. That'll work for fiber, save the trees!

Sometimes corporate arrangements can be mysterious.
I went to the Oroweat website. The company name that
appears at the bottom of the home page is - I kid you not -
Bimbo Bakeries, Inc.

So, I go to the Bimbo Bakeries website. It says thier brands
include:

Francisco
Marinala
Mrs. Baird's
Oroweat
Tia Rosa
Boboli
Thomas
Entemann's

Then I go to the Arnold's website. It say that Arnold's
is a product of Great Weston and that Great Weston's
products include some of the same products that are
listed on the Bimbo page. So, I guess there must be
multiple licensing agreements between these various
companies.

There now a claim that none of the bad gluten ended up in the
human food chain:

COMPANY NEWS; GRUPO BIMBO OF MEXICO BUYS 5 BAKERIES IN UNITED STATES


Published: January 23, 2002
Grupo Bimbo of Mexico, the world's third-largest bread maker, said yesterday
that it bought five bakeries in the United States for $610 million in a deal
that was expected to double the company's revenue in the United States. The
agreement includes five plants in Texas, Colorado, California and Oregon, as
well as the rights to make and distribute Orowheat bread, Entenmann's pastries,
Thomas' English Muffins and Boboli pizza kits in the western United States.
Bimbo said the agreement, with George Weston Ltd. of Canada, also grants the
Mexican company the rights to about 1,300 direct distribution routes. George
Weston's operations in the western United States had sales of $620 million in
2001 and posted earnings of $56 million.

I want to go on record that I am not affiliated with the company

Thanks. I'm fascinated by these who-owns-what wiring

important is owned by a joint venture of the Pope, the

None of the tainted stuff went to manufacturers of food meant for human consumption.
This would include Orowheat.

However, it is getting to the point where I want to move back to the farm.

Has nothing to do with being a sleuth. I used to live in Mexico ergo the Bimbo
brand was very familiar to me. One day at the bakery outlet the lady said, "
make your check out to Bimbo bakeries". ergo 2+2 = Mexican companies own a lot
of the brands we are used to. (as well a Comp USA). I figure the new
California language is going to be something like "Como Estas Dude?" or "you
want salsa with that ese?" Just watch Dora the explorer on PBS.

I was watching a soccer match on TV the other day and I couldn't figure out
why one team was sponsored by Bimbo -- now I know. Thanks

Wrong. The FDA announced today that it was indeed shipped to
manufacturers of human food.

This afternoon I phoned Orowheat's phone number listed on a package of
whole wheat English muffins to find out where the wheat gluten in them
came from. Phone 1-877-224-7374. I got voice mail. No call back
yet. I asked where the wheat gluten in those English muffins came
from. FYI, I think the voice mail answering machine stated that I
was calling "Bimbo Bakeries", but I'm not entirely sure I got the
name. I was very surprised.
Also, the Trade Joe's whole wheat English muffins have an enclosure of
wheat gluten. I'm throwing both packages out.

The Bimbo Bakeries connection has been discussed upthread.
It's Oroweat.
