I always love when I can find allergy friendly products in the regular grocery store - it means one less trip for me (to a specialty store), and that it's probably easy on the wallet. In our house, we are big fans of Hormel Turkey Pepperoni slices. Although I try not to eat too many processed foods, when I need something quick and easy, this is what I reach for. Not only is it a great topping for pizza, I throw it on salads, add it to chili and soups, dip it in hummus, or eat it straight out of the bag.I definitely eat it more in the summer, since, before it is opened, it does not need to be refrigerated. A great thing to take camping, to the beach, or on a trip - we just brought it with us to New Jersey last weekend (where I experimented with the "No Way" Brownies.).
The turkey variety has 70% less fat than the original. It has a nice spicy flavor. I remember when I did Weight Watchers eight million years ago, it was 2 points for 17 slices! Not bad...
The label on the package states that it is gluten free. When I called customer service to ask if it is processed in a facility with products that contain gluten, dairy, peanuts, or tree nuts, they said that it is not. I asked if this means that the chances of cross contamination with these ingredients is slim to none, they replied "yes." I prefer to get these sorts of claims in writing - it just makes me feel better. If you give this pepperoni a try, you might want to double check with customer service on this, especially if you are dealing with a true allergy.
