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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
