Datem


Jess

Recommended Posts

I was looking for some gluten-free soups that I could get at a normal store and read that Progresso has a lot of gluten-free soups. Reading the ingredients I noticed that the ones that seem to be gluten-free have "datem". What is datem? I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says that it has something to do with "building a strong gluten network". Does that mean that it contains gluten? I hope you can help me.

Datem is "Diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides" and seems to be used as an emusifier.

Should be gluten-free.

And I think that with the new labeling law, if it was derived from wheat it would be listed as "datem (wheat)", right?

Good Luck,

Pam

Thank you. Yea, I called the FDA which told me to call Progresso and they said that Datem is gluten-free and if it wasn't they would mention it on the package.

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

      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.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?
