I used to love Aunt Jemima syrup before going gluten-free. Now when I eat Van's waffles I usually eat them with pure syrup but I'm finding I would rather have Aunt Jemima instead but I don't know whether they are gluten free or not. If anyone could tell me I would be very grateful. Thanks:)

According to the Quaker Oats website, they're gluten-free:

Although The Quaker Oats Company of Canada primarily produces products that are grain-based, we do have a few gluten-free products. Most flavours of Quaker® Rice and Corn Cakes and Quaker® Crispy Minis Rice Chips are gluten free. However, our newest flavour of Quaker® Rice Cakes, Savoury Tomato & Basil, is not gluten free. Gatorade® Thirst Quencher, Aunt Jemima® Syrups and Quaker® Corn Meal are all gluten free. Quaker® Puffed Rice is also considered gluten free; however, as is produced on the same production line as Puffed Wheat, there is a minute chance of cross contamination. Due to changes which might occur to the product formula, it is important to check our ingredient listing regularly.

I used to have a van's waf. every morning with aunt jemima. I wouldn't have any other syrup! it's gluten-free, but b/c of the high fructose corn syrup (now that i am trying to eat healthier), I switched to natural agave syrup - and i love it....

I used to love Aunt Jemima's syrup, but then I read all sorts of horrible things about high fructose corn syrup--apparently, it raises your blood sugar but does not signal your pancreas to produce insulin, and it has an extremely addictive quality (just what what we all need, right).

So I switched to real maple syrup, which tasted almost too sweet at first, but then after I'd gotten used to it, I tasted Aunt Jemima's again at a friend's house. I was amazed how chemical-ish it tasted in comparison to the real thing.

We now buy the real thing at Costco (much cheaper than even Sam's Club) in a huge jug, and we keep it in a little cube fridge in the basement, using it to refill a regular-sized container that lives in our kitchen refrigerator. You do have to refrigerate it (because it doesn't have all those preservatives and chemicals).

And it's gluten-free!

Hi this was one of my first calls that I made. the best thing to do is either email or call. They told me it is gluten-free. my daughter uses it every week w/her gluten-free pancakes. I just make sure to get the regular one, not extra buttery or flavored.
good luck

Right before I eat the waffles/pancakes I mix real maple syrup with a little of the Aunt Jemima - this keeps the artificial ingredients down to a minium and gives a little of the real maple to the mix. I mix up just enough for that one time (I guess if you have a family you can keep it mixed in refrigerator but it'll only keep just as long as real maple syrup stays good in refrigerator).

Husband has Celiac Disease and
Husband misdiagnosed for 27 yrs -
The misdiagnosis was: IBS or colitis
Mis-diagnosed from 1977 to 2003 by various gastros including one of the largest,
most prestigious medical groups in northern NJ which constantly advertises themselves as
being the "best." This GI told him it was "all in his head."
Serious Depressive state ensued
Finally Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003
Other food sensitivities: almost all fruits, vegetables, spices, eggs, nuts, yeast, fried foods, roughage, soy.
Needs to gain back at least 25 lbs. of the 40 lbs pounds he lost - lost a great amout of body fat and muscle
Developed neuropathy in 2005
Now has lymphadema 2006It is my opinion that his subsequent disorders could have been avoided had he been diagnosed sooner by any of the dozen or so doctors he saw between 1977 to 2003

Dear Angel,

Do you have a contact for Entero labs? My daughters blood work has never been sent there. I also dont think her dr did HLA'S or DQ series. How do i know which to get done? Her peds dr is willing to do any tests that need to be done. He has been in practice for more than 30 years, since I was a kid he was my dr. and my daughter is his first Celiac Patient.. So what I learn he learns.
