    Celiac.com 06/29/2023 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about meat products. Specifically, is SPAM gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? 

    SPAM contains just six naturally gluten-free ingredients: Pork with ham, Salt, Water, Potato Starch, Sugar, and Sodium Nitrate, so it can be considered safe for those who are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease.

    As always, be sure to double check the ingredient label to be sure that no ingredients have changed, and to make sure that there isn't an allergen warning for wheat.

    • Classic SPAM
    • Lite
