Ok What Ingrediants Do I Need To Look For On Labels

[Electra]

I've love a whole list but that will be way too overwhelming to me right now so I really need just the basics or most common ones. I know dehydrogonized vegetable protein is one (or so I think) what are some others? Thanks for any help you can give!!

Hi,

This is a pretty comprehensive list--

I know you said "just the basics", but I was afraid I'd leave something out! Hope this one is not too overwhelming

that can be one, but you will very rarely see it.

Companies are required by law to list all sources of wheat CLEARLY and list it as an allergen (It would say, "Contains: Wheat" at the bottom of the ingredients.

Wheat (or anything that says wheat in it), enriched wheat flour, flour, malt (malt, malt flavoring, malt extract, etc), barley, barley malt, rye, anything that has beer in it, spelt, ....

Those are some of the main ones.

if it says modified food starch, but doesn't list wheat, then it probably corn starch. If it is made from wheat, it is required to say so. Dextrin, dextrose, maltodextrin, in the US are safe. MSG, although some say it is not good for you, is SAFE in terms of gluten (although glutamate is in the name, it is not gluten).

If you see, by chance, corn gluten...it is safe....but rarely will you see that. It is a different protein entirely.
