I searched this but "corn" kept coming up :unsure: ......

I need some help w/ Vanilla Extract. Is pure and imitation BOTH safe or what? Is it just certain kinds that are safe?? Yep, i'm confused about this!

I have a thing of Great Value PURE vanilla extract and I have a thing of McCormick's IMITATION vanilla extract. Just curious is I can use both, one and not the other or neither of them.

Thanks in advanced to anyone out there with MEGA baking knowledge!

Hey Chick:

McCormack's is gluten free, it is vanillin (synthetic vanilla). Real vanilla extract has acohol in it.

All products by Nielesn-Massey Vanillas Open Original Shared Link are gluten free!

I am able to get them at my gourmet grocery store. And a few other places in town!

Okay, thanks!

All vanilla would appear to be gluten-free. Distilled alcohol is gluten-free, and even it werent, the amount used in extract is so small, you couldn't even measure it.

Vanilla being a problem is another one of those celiac urban myths.

Richard, You are our favorite "celiac myth-buster." As always thanks for giving us the facts!

Now that we' re on this topic, would that also be the same answer for McCormick's other extracts, like the lemon, anise, etc.

I think people freaked out about vanilla because of the "Bourbon" in the name.... not realizing that it was the name of a place and not that of the drink!

Thanks everyone!

That's verified by info I have from Columbia University Celiac Center. Their literature lists all extracts as safe.

I called McCormacks and they said that all of their extracts are gluten-free. THey will note on the package if it isn't.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. 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.
