    Celiac.com 12/10/2021 - 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 honey. 

    Specifically, which brands of honey are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Honey is one of those foods that are naturally gluten-free. The means that, unless some kind of wheat or gluten is added after harvesting, pretty much any honey you get is going to be gluten-free.

    Here are a few of the many brands of honey available in the U.S. The list is not even close to definitive, but it's a start. Again, pretty much any brand of honey you buy will be gluten-free. 

    Brands of honey that are considered gluten-free include:

    Cox's Honey
    Cox's Raw Clover Honey

    Desert Creek Honey
    Desert Creek Honey Raw Texas Honey

    GloryBee
    GloryBee Pure Clover Honey

    So, Celiac.com's weekly mailer/newsletter's third headline is this: 

    Is Honey gluten-free?  (By Jefferson Adams, in gluten-free Foods & Beverages,  Saturday at 12:31 PM)

    Meanwhile the next article headline is this: 

    Top Brands of gluten-free Honey  (By Jefferson Adams, Friday at 02:39 PM)


    IS IT ANY WONDER THAT EVEN CELIACs ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IS or ISN'T gluten-free?!?  

    @Jefferson Adams, if honey is inherently gluten-free unless it's otherwise (cross-)contaminated... then there is practically ZERO NEED to talk about what brands of honey are gluten-free!  This very dichotomy within your very own newsletter is part and parcel of what causes confusion within the Celiac community (and within the community of non-Celiacs, at large) about what is and isn't inherently gluten-free.  You're muddying the water, sir.  And it's doing all of us a disservice.  The issue is not whether honey is inherently gluten-free, but whether the producer engages mindful practices to prevent cross-contamination from occurring--which, depending on the facility, may also be a moot point. 

    Putting labels on actual products declaring gluten-free status is one thing: it's a declaration of confidence from the manufacturer.  But creating this kind of confusion in a journalistic forum by questioning the very nature of the product itself (manufacturer aside) is not only unnecessary, but also unwelcomed and downright immoral.  These are sensationalist tactics that have no place in a science-based community forum.  

    Please do better next time. 

    ps. Your timestamps are no excuse.

    Is Honey Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 12/04/2021 - 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 honey. 
    Specifically, is honey gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? 
    The short answer is yes, honey, is gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. As long as nothing containing gluten is added to the honey after it is harvested or processed, then the honey will be gluten-free.
    Generally speaking, nearly all types of honey will be gluten-free and safe for celiacs. 
    It's important that people with celiac disease make sure to avoid any gluten ingredients, so be sure to read labels and double check ingredients, to be safe.
    Happy honey hunting!
