Are Ketchup And Swedish Fish Candy gluten-free?


Sandyo

Recommended Posts

I love ketchup!!! Is it gluten free? How do I know. It doesn't have any starch or wheat on label. Is there a problem with distilled vinegar? Also how about those swedish fish candies! Love them, but lately don't feel good after eating them. Trying to go gluten-free....but very confusing and hard to understand the hidden stuff.

Is there a list of what to eat and not eat somewhere???

My Mother, Sister and I are all trying to figure this stuff out!!! At least I have company!

Don't know of any ketchup that has gluten. The real official Swedish Fish are definitely gluten-free.

Heinz Organic ketchup is NOT Gluten Free.

Swedish Fish are gluten-free for sure!

that is correct about the Heinz ORGANIC ketchup... Heinz won't declare it gluten-free.

My family has recently switched to Annie's Naturals Ketchup, we like the taste better AND it's clearly labeled gluten-free.

Ditto on Annie's Natural Ketchup. I like knowing that it says "gluten free" right on the bottle.

Muir glen ketchup is gluten free also.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
