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!

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
