Lipton Onion Soup Mix?

[nikki8]

I don't see any ingredients that are suspect. Is this gluten-free? The Walmart equivalent is not, so that's why I wanted to make sure.

Thanks,

Nikki

Yes, the Lipton is gluten-free.

Hmm.. I heard that it wasn't gluten-free. You might want to contact Lipton to verify.

the only thing i was worried about with that mix is that is says "spices" i have a book that said wheat may be a binder for the spices to prevent it from clumping/caking. i've had it and felt sick

good luck!

I believe that the Lipton Onion Soup is gluten-free, but it's their only variety that is.

Lipton's onion soup (regular and cup-a) is gluten-free, but it is the only Lipton soup that is gluten-free. All the others have noodles.

I just sent an email to them to see if we can get a verification. I would be SOOOO happy if they confirm it's okay. I'll let you guys know what they say.

Here's the email I got back. It looks like Lipton has gotten on the bandwagon with Kraft and some of the other big companies and will clearly declare if there is any gluten or other allergens in their product. Like they say, they won't use the term "natural flavors", or a chemical name if it's an allergen or gluten source. Just read the label every time you buy / use it to make sure there hasn't been a formula change.

This is awesome news! I've been on a food slump lately, and this will be great to be able to add back in. Now if we could only convince Campbells to re-work their cream of mushroom soup...

Here's the email -

Hello Nancy,

Thank you for writing!

We do appreciate your interest in our company and its products.

When common allergens are used in our products, we list these under our

ingredients. THE COMMON ALLERGENS WHICH LIPTON LISTS, IF PRESENT, are:

Milk, Eggs, Fish, Shellfish, Wheat, Soy, Peanuts or other Nuts. Lipton

makes every effort to stay informed about any additional ingredients

that could be considered common allergens. Also whenever possible, we

try to avoid using materials or ingredients that could be considered to

be commonly allergenic, so that potential allergens are not included

into categories such as "Natural Flavors".

Gluten is found in wheat rye, barley, and oats.

Because our products are formulated for use by the majority of our

consumers, and not specifically for those on restricted diets, it is

possible our product formulations may change at any time. As a result,

we cannot provide a list due to several factors:

- Lists of this type reflect products as formulated at a specific time

- Possible that more products/varieties may have been added

- More important, changes in existing products may have occurred

Therefore, we suggest reading all ingredient labels carefully.

We hope this information is helpful.

Your friends at Recipe Secrets

It dosen't say that they will list "Rye, Barley, or Oats"... just wheat... (as required by law)... but good to know they will "try" to avoid using the "natural" staement.

Thanks for the info.

The regular Lipton Onion Soup Mix should be gluten free, but I believe the Kosher version is not. Just be careful when buying it, it doesn't say Kosher on the front.

I've had it - and it's fine. Makes a great dip mixed with sour cream with UTZ potato chips (Say gluten-free right on the label).

Also really good baked into hamburger, or baked with potato wedges in the oven.

Yum!
