32Y F. Instacart is not Gluten Free Friendly
Hi, I just wanted to warn everyone that if you look up “Gluten Free” on Instacart, loads of food items that are not actually gluten free come up, despite claims of being gluten free. Door dash is more accurate. I used Instacarts list of gluten free items to shop at door dash, resulting in $150 of groceries, all containing gluten, and me inadvertently eating some of them before noticing the labels stated “may contain wheat”. I asked them to rectify this and they said because I did not purchase anything, they can’t connect me to a live agent & that it’s my responsibility to “check the labels”, which is something I can’t do when I’m not the person putting it in the cart at the grocery store and when their photos of the product do not show the ingredients and when the internet says that it’s “generally considered gluten free, but to check the label”. Since I can’t do anything about it with Instacart, I wanted to come here and warn ppl before this happens to anyone else. Ppl could die, especially if this happens with other allergens.
