Pizza Sauce

[momandgirls]

I had written an email to Ragu asking if the pizza sauce was gluten free. It looked fine from the label except for the vague "flavorings" and food starch. They wrote back and said that the food starch is from corn but they wouldn't not make a statement that was gluten free. She did eat it and was fine but I was just wondering if there were any available that people like that is definitely gluten free (it just makes me uneasy that Ragu won't be more specific). Thanks!

If you have a Wal-mart nearby, the GV brand is gluten free. I personally use the GV brand no-salt tomato sauce and then add garlic, basil, oregano, and onion. I think it's much tastier this way.

Pizza sauce, I use Muir Glen or Contadina typically.

Most companies will no longer say "gluten-free," even for products that are, for fear of a lawsuit if contamination occurs, possibly in an ingredient they obtain from a third party.

Ragu is one of the brands/companies that will clearly disclose any and all known gluten sources in their ingredient list. That's about as good as it can get these days. While I do realize there is a remote chance of cross contamination in ANY product, I refuse to spend my life worrying about it.

I also use Muir Glen. It's YUMMY!!! I can only find it at Wild Oats, but for us... it's worth the trip! =)
