Doss Pam Baking Spray Contain Gluten?

[nixpa]

Hello! I was diagnosed with Celiac disease on July of last year. Since then I have been trying to avoid contact with any gluten, though there has been a few slipups.

Recently I have been in a baking mood, and use Pam sprays often on my pans. It came to my attention that Pam's baking spray contains flour in it. I'm surprised at my stupidity for not reading the label. I didn't realize this before because I had no reaction to it for the many times I have used it. Have any other celiacs tried it and noticed the same thing? I wondered if the flour in the spray has been processed to the point of containing little to no gluten, or if the amount of flour in the spray is so small that it goes unnoticed by my organs? I have not seen an internist to check my gluten levels yet, I'm just basing this on that I have not gotten sick from using the spray.

Am I under-sensitive or is there actually minimal to no gluten in Pam's baking spray?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It looks like their Pam Original, Pam Olive Oil, Pam Grilling, Pam Avocado Oil, Pam Coconut Oil and Pam Butter don't contain any gluten ingredients:

But, it does look like their Pam Baking spray does contain wheat!

Wheat Flour

Wheat flour is a powder-like substance that is obtained by milling wheat and is used in a wide range of baked products.

Thank you for answering! Yes, Pam baking spray does contain wheat, but I was wondering if it contained enough gluten to trigger celiac symptoms. Eating a gluten bread crumb has gotten me sick before. Yet I have used Pam baking spray several times and not gotten a reaction from it.

I don't know the exact amount of gluten you would get from each use, it would be difficult to calculate, but for someone with celiac disease any amount is too much. Over time it could cause low level damage so it would be best for you to give it away and get one of the other varieties that don't contain any gluten.

Thank you! Even though I have not noticed damage I have quit using Pam baking spray and am using other safer cooking sprays. I'm going to pay much better attention to what I cook with from now on.
