I don't believe it is safe for us.

I couldn't find it on any gluten-free lists, which leads me to believe it contains gluten.

A1 is NOT listed on any of the Gluten Free lists i have. this is so dissappointing... I even checked out the comparable Walmart Great Value brand version - doesn't say gluten free (how exciting is it that Great Value now lists gluten-free on the label!!!). I think wheat was listed in the ingredients. :(

I know Lea and Perrins Steak Sauce is gluten-free!

Although I think A1 is a kraft product, it should state clearly on the label if there is any wheat or barley in it.

I am a big Walmart shopper (I'm a poor child! LOL) and I used to buy alot of the Great Value brands until I heard to be careful with generics. Do you mean they actual say "gluten free" now or do they just show on the labels if it has wheat etc in it? This is great news! I had called Kraft's 800 number and asked them if A1 had gluten and they told me that the label will specify if it has wheat, etc. in it if it was in fact in there. I just bought some and didn't see any wheat items listed in the ingredients unless it is hidden (Kraft told me they no longer hide gluten ingredients and that they will list them). I hope it's safe. I love A1. Now I'm a little scared to try it....

As far as I know, A1 is gluten-free. It is a kraft product and there are no gluten sources listed on the label. I personally eat it fairly frequently and have never had a reaction.

Thank you for your replies - I didn't see anything suspicious on the ingredient list and I know you all say that Kraft is good about not hiding wheat ingredients - but I just wanted to make sure. My daughter loves A1 so I hate to take that away from her if I don't have to...

I'm not sure why there is so much confusion over A1. I've seen several postings lately that stated it was not gluten-free. It is a Kraft product, and there is no gluten on the label, so it is safe. I checked my own bottle last night too for the hell of it. I don't think many Kraft products seem to end up on gluten-free food lists--not b/c they aren't gluten-free, but b/c their policy is always to refer to the label, not to publish an official gluten-free food listing.

YES! they actually put GLUTEN FREE on the label! It's on their pudding mixes, sloppy joe sauce, a bunch of stuff. So exciting isnt it?? :)

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification. In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate...

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation...

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
