Boullion Cubes

[Guest ~jules~]

Do beef boullion cubes usually have gluten or not, does anyone know? All I read that was questionable was natural flavor. I ate something cooked in boullion, and the person told me it was after I ate it (thanks mom). Sure would appreciate some input here, thanks julie...

I don't know about the gluten but I understand that most, if not all, boullions have MSG in them, which is why they taste so good.

Most bouillion cubes seem to have gluten ...and if not dodgy labelling...

I only buy ones saying gluten free.

Definitely can't categorize by type and always have to read the label or call when in doubt. I use Rapunzel, myself, and I know there are a few others out there that are gluten-free. I've seen a couple that have wheat, though I don't remember if those were boullion cubes or a paste or powder or what other concoction that served the same purpose.

Well I feel fine so they must have been okay. They said at the bottom of the indredients contains soy, and the only other thing was natural flavor. My poor mom thought she glutened me, lol. I had to call her and let her know I was feeling fine and not to feel bad. I looked at some brands on the net, and most of them do, but some don't. All the veggie ones are gluten-free.

I usually take the lists of other allergens as a good sign.

Thats a good point. Who knew a month ago I'd be sitting around stressing about beef boullion. Before this I never just wondered about boullion cubes, lol. Ahhhhhhh how funny is this silly disease we have, well at least I can find the humor in it all.

Herbox(made by Hormel) boullion cubes are gluten free. I generally get the vegetable, beef, and chicken. But, I have actually found the vegetable to be the best flavor, even for beef stews and chicken soups. Plus the vegetable doesn't have any MSG.

I only buy gluten-free ones, too. I'm way to sensative to gluten to wanna take an actual risk (even tho sometimes I have no choice lol). But yeah, I always stock up on the gluten-free ones just in case Theres so many different flavours, I think even more than normal cubes, so we got an advantage
