Gluten Free Deli Meat?

Hello does anyone know how I find out if Deli Meat is Gluten Free. I am going to be getting a list from a deli for Boars Head (i think they are out of Canada) they have all natural meats which I know doesnt mean anything in the gluten-free world. So what ingredients are a no no for deli meats? Does anyone know of a certain brand of deli meat that is gluten free? It is so hard to do this diet without some form of a quick cold cut for lunch. Any suggestions?

Also are canned meats like chicken breast, turkey breast, and tuna....gluten free?

Thanks

:)

Boars Head Products (800.352.6277) (www.boarshead.com) (vs=09/20/02)

MEATS: No cereals, fillers, artificial colors or flavors is used in manufacturing the meats. There are not vegetable gums or malts, wheat, rye, oats or barley used. For this reason almost all of our products should be compatible with a gluten-free diet. Note: As of January 2004 one meat product (Rotisico-unsure on spelling-Chicken has wheat).

CARAMEL COATINGS: Made from sugars and should pose no problems.

CHEESE: American; Blue Cheese Mozarella; Gold Label Swiss; Monterrey Jack; Monterrey Jack with Jalapenos; Gouda; Edam; Vermont Cheddar are gluten-free.

Hormel (Hormel) (800-523-4635) (www.hormel.com) (vw=03/28/04)

SHELF STABLE: Bacon Bits and Pieces, Chunk Meats (Breast of Chicken, Chicken, Ham, Turkey), Corned Beef, Dried Beef, Vienna sausage

MEATS: Beef Jerky (Regular, Low Fat ), Canadian Style Bacon, Fully Cooked Bacon, Fully-Cooked Entrées (Beef Roast Au Jus, Pork Roast Au Jus), Ham Patties, Microwave Bacon, Pepperoni, PILLOW PACK® (Pepperoni and Turkey Pepperoni), Smokies, Snack Size Meats and Cheese (Cooked Ham, Smoked Ham, Honey Ham, Summer Sausage, Smoked Turkey, Roasted Turkey, Hard Slami, Italian Dry Salami, Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese, Cheddar Cheese)

May contain distilled vinegar: Pickled Pigs Feet, Pickled Pork Hocks, Pickled Hot Sausages, Pickled Tidbits, Pickled Smoked Sausages

Oscar Mayer (Kraft) (Open Original Shared Link) (vw=2004).

Read the label. Wheat, oats, rye and barley will be listed on the label of Kraft products that contain these ingredients. They will not be hidden under words such as “natural flavors”, etc. Kraft considers distilled vinegar, no matter the source, gluten-free.

Here are a few things that I copied from the Delphia List. I highly suggest using that as it will help tremendously.

I am new too and this helped me. :D

Good luck! Jo Ann

If you are getting meats that must be sliced at the deli counter, be sure that they clean the slicer before they slice your meat. Otherwise you can get cross-contaminated.

I'm with Richard on the Hillshire Farms Meats, that is all that I purchase.

Thanks for reminding me. The manager at that deli seems really nice so I dont see a problem if they wipe it off. Plus I think all they sell is boars head which most are gluten free I think anyways but it doesnt hurt to check to see if they are selling some with gluten to be safe. :rolleyes:

I've worked in a deli and there is a real problem with wiping it off. I would just stick to packaged, to get a slicer clean you need to take it apart, there are guards that get bits stuck in them and the only way to get them clean is to dismantle and wash. Personally I would not trust something sliced on one. Theres lots of 'deli slice style' stuff thats risk free.

Well the only problem with pre packaged meat is it is not organic. I need to have meat that has no hormones as we are trying for a baby right now and I already have PCOS and regular meat is full of estrogens. If you can recommend a prepackaged meat without hormones and organic I could do that. I was also thinking if the wiped it down some I could always go home and rinse it off good too.

I am not Celiac but gluten intolerant so a crumb wont kill me. Plus I think this deli ony sells Boars Head and there meats and cheeses are mostly if not all gluten free already. I will consider this possiblity too.

this is so hard and confusing my nerves are shot. I am starting to think there is nothing to eat between the low carb, gluten free, and all the stuff I have to do to follow this correctly.. :angry: All this started because hubby and I want kids.. :unsure:

I spoke with Boar's head on the phone and the woman told me that the "loafs" olive loaf, pimento loaf, etc are not gluten-free becase of the vinegar, and there was one cheese, a weird cheese that I would never eat so I forgot the name.

I got a phone call back from Boar's Head and was told that ALL Boar's Head products, including their pickles, are GLUTEN FREE as of October 27, 2005. The few items that they used to tell Celiacs to stay away from are now GLUTEN FREE. They have NO products with gluten. That's good. But don't they still have nitrates???? Anyway, Boar's Head is 100% gluten free as of Oct. 27th.

Are all Carl Buddig and Hillshire Farm prepackaged meats gluten-free? Is it written on the package? I am looking for some sliced ham to eat.

Thanks,

Jen

Applegate Farms are Hormone Free and Antibiotic and Nitrite/Nitrate free, they sell them at Whole Foods and you can buy them in the deli OR pre packaged in safe little gluten free packages. That's the way I get it. I can't have any of the non organic meats either, so this is the only way I can have my lunchmeats.

Another site you might want to visit is kraftkitchens.com - click on Health & Wellness and then Gluten Free Products. There will be another list of mainstream gluten-free items along with some yummy looking recipes. You might be able to find some quick lunch ideas here.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?
