Deli Meat


GottaSki

Recommended Posts

GottaSki Mentor

My family has been happy with leftover dinner meat to make sandwiches for quite awhile, but there is a bit of repetitive grumbling in my home about never having deli meat anymore.

So what is your favorite gluten free deli meat?

I'm looking for packaged meats in particular, simply because I don't feel like hitting the deli counter until I can enjoy processed meats again.

BTW - the best way to purchase deli meat sliced at the store is talk to your store manager - most stores wash the slicer at the end of the day - so if requested they can slice your order first thing in the morning and set it aside for you to pick up.

Thanks everyone!

Boar's Head meats and cheeses are all gluten free (prepackaged), as well as many of their condiments....and pretty good too! :)

cya: always read the ingredient listing.

I'd prefer leftovers, too, but don't always have them nor do I want to buy from the deli counter either.

I like Open Original Shared Link and currently have the smoked turkey, which is prepackaged.

If you can get the Boars head pre-packed, those are the best. We also like the hormel Naturals Open Original Shared Link

I like the smoked turkey and the honey or smoked hams. M says the regular turkey is a bit slimy.

I buy all of the above - Boar's Head (ask the deli to clean the slicer), Hormel Naturals and also Trader Joe's ham and turkey.

I am getting to where I don't like the saltiness of deli turkey so i think I'm going to try roasting a breast once in a while. I expect ham to be salty, so I just eat less.

I like the Schneiders Naturals. No nitrites and no gluten. Very short ingredient list.

From a gluten perspective, I can no longer name a deli meat that does have gluten. There probably are a few somewhere, but fewer than even just five years ago.

The other day I was buying ham and found 3 or 4 brands that contained wheat! I do not recall the names but if I think of it I will write them down and add them here. In fact, I had difficulty buying ham without. I think one was a President's Choice but will double check.

ETA: Oops - this was supposed to a separate post. Not sure how this happened! Looked for ham today (Sept. 10) and found only one that did NOT contain gluten. Those that did included Butchery something and Maple Leaf (a few varieties). The store brand contained wheat, too. Thankfully I am able to get Frebeye's here!

Thank you all! Very nice to have a jump start list.

Concern started today - teen son really wanted sliced turkey so ran up to the store (my teens generally don't go to the store without being asked/bribed to do so) and bought Jennie-O because he thought their products were all gluten free. A quick search of their gluten free product list didn't include the sliced turkey he purchased - perhaps I just didn't research it enough - but thought I'd take a break from the product research this evening and ask for a few favorites -- plus it is nice to know things are going to taste good before purchase - my computer hasn't developed this particular skill yet. I'm thankful each day for the internet, but when will the Smell&Tast-O-Vision cards be ready for installation?

We like Boar's Head too.. DIetz & Watson is very good for a second choice.....

I like Applegate. Expensive, but worth it. Organic, antibiotic free. Many are gluten and casein free.

justlisa Apprentice

I buy Applegate (first choice) or Boar's Head (only from my local produce market which has a deli...they only sell Boar's Head so no other meats are sliced on their equipment).

Love2travel, you are in Canada and the person who asked the question is in the U.S. So am I. In the U.S., almost no ham has gluten (I can't actually name one that does have it but I can't say that absolutely none do).

True enough. The differences between countries can be quite vast, can't they? I was shocked I was only able to find one kind of ham out of six or seven that did not include wheat. I should have made it clear in my posts I live in Canada. My intent was to mention it for the benefit of fellow Canadians. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I am not Celiac but I do have an issue with gluten since I have had Crohn's Disease for decades. I'm allergic to Soy and Lactose intolerant. I use Applegate and Boars Head; both great products, expensive but worth the money.

I did email Hillshire because I had read somewhere in this forum that Hillshire was gluten free. According to their answer below they currently do not have any gluten-free products but are working on them!

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil.  Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      @Known1, I submitted the following comment along with my contact information: "I have noticed that many food companies voluntarily include information in their ingredient/allergen label section when the product is made in an environment where cross contamination with any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA may also be likely. Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
