Confusing labels

[stuge101]

I just picked this up at the store and now it confuses me.  I saw the big "Gluten Free" and bought it.  When I got home I saw that it contains Soy.  How can it be both Gluten free and contain soy?  Trying to link a picture but can't get it to work.  The product in question is Sahlen's skinless cocktail smokehouse wieners.  Product website

 

Thanks,

Matt.  New to celiac's.

Welcome to the forum,

Soy is made from soy beans and gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley.  Perhaps you are confused because Soy Sauce is fermented wheat and soy mixture.  You can get fermented Soy only. It is called Tamari Sauce.  The brand I use is Certified Gluten Free.

The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping.

It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

Thank you all.  I just got the call from my doctor a week ago confirming that I have celiac disease and am still have a lot to learn about what I can and can't eat.  There is so much to learn and my entire lifestyle must be changed.  That you all for your time.
