Baileys Irish Cream is gluten-free.

I verified by phone that Kitchen Bouquet is gluten free. The rep. said it contains a small amount of corn gluten, but there is no wheat in it at all.

Guys - Urgent ...I checked the Bailey's Irish Cream website and they said something about it not being safe for celiacs...where did you get info that Bailey's is safe????

Thanks!

Baileys Irish Cream is gluten-free.

This is the Bailey's Irish Cream statement regarding gluten, this makes me assume it isn't gluten free...correct???:

Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain, which contains gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten-free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Yes, the whiskey is made from fermented grain, which is then distilled. It is generally accepted that the distillation process eliminates any gluten from the final product. The gluten molecule is too large to pass into the distillate and remains in the undistilled mash. That is just a CYA statement, IMO.

oh my goodness! this gluten-free stuff is just all too confusing!

I too thought the distilling process removed all gluten. isn't that why triple distilled adult beverages are ok for us (like smirnoff vodka?)

Maybe this too is on an individual basis - like some say about oats? another confusing issue!

I've been gluten-free for about 9 years, and am still learning.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
