Hunts - Distilled Vinegar

I called Hunts today (800-858-6372) to see if the "Hunts Original BBQ Sauce" and "Hunts Perfect Squeeze Ketchup" were gluten free.

Their response was that because their distilled vinegar came from wheat products that it couldn't be considered safe.

Hasn't the issue been decided that if the vinegar is distilled that it's OK?

My children are recently diagnosed, and they have never had any intestinal symptoms, so if they ingested these products, I wouldn't know whether they were harmful or not.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Becky,

I don't know that there is any real way to settle the distilled vinegar question once and for all. I believe that it is now generally agreed that distilled vinegar, even made from wheat, poses no THEORETICAL risk to a celiac, but there is a world of difference between theory and practice! If your children experienced intestinal reactions to gluten, you'd have an easy way to test it out for them, but since they don't it's going to have to be a pure judgment call. (This is just my two cents' worth.) Good luck!

Hello Cyberbec,

If you are looking for a Ketchup you should use Heinz instead of hunts. I have yet to find any Barbecue Sauce.

I use Heinz Ketchup and Hellmann's Mayonnaise. I do not have any problems with either of them. We love them both.

I will be trying Gold's products. A recent e-mail response said that all of their products are gluten-free!

French's website claims to have a gluten-free mustard. So I will let you know about that too. Currently we use a horseradish mustard by Annie's that is gluten-free. What a nice kick in her mustard. It tastes great on Sabrette hot dog's!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Dukes Mayo is also gluten-free, the info can be found on their website at Open Original Shared Link

I also read that French's mustard was gluten-free, I use it and never had a problem with it :)

Another gluten-free BBQ sauce is Cattleman's (sold at Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's).

Del Monte Ketchup is supposed to be gluten-free too. But I just use Heinz.

God bless,

Mariann :)

Yes heinz all the way! Andrea (who I am going to get into this message board because its FULL of info, and I'm sure she can help other celiacs more than I can) but anyways, Andrea has ALWAYS had full blown gluten reactions to both hunts ketchup and french's mustard. They claim to be gluten-free based on the idea that distilled vinegar regardless of the sourch is gluten-free. Like someone else mentioned this is correct hypothetically but I can vouch for Andrea that when the vinegar is sourced from wheat she gets very very sick, often as sick as if she had ingested something with a wheat ingredient.

I'm not sure if this helps, I imagine it has a lot to do with the level of sensativity, which is very hard to discern I'm sure since your kids do not have intestine symptoms!

Does anyone know of a list of common foods/comidents that are gluten free even though gluten-free is not on the label? This would save a lot of us searching and phone calling time. I would love to have a list that I could bring to the grocery store. Let me know. Thanks.

After January 2006, a new law will help make reading labels for gluten a bit easier. This law requires that all foods must be clearly labeled if they contain any of the top eight food allergens, including wheat, beginning in 2006. Lawmakers are also working to help make reading labels easier for people with celiac disease by requiring companies to identify other ingredients, such as hidden ingredients and barley and rye.

I found this on a celiac website.

Very confused now. Daughter just diagnosed, so we're trying to figure out foods. Have many sauces that contain questionable ingredients. Thought I was getting it right, until I saw Sweet Baby Ray's & Cattlemans (mine shows Vinegar, Modified Food Starch, Natural Flavor, Spices, Caramel, Molasses). I realize that much of this is ok if manufactured in the US, but things like 'Spices', MFS, etc still throw me.

Arrgghh!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
