Spaghetti Sauce

[mac3]

Every brand of spaghetti sauce states "tomato paste." Is there a specific brand of spaghetti sauce where the tomato paste doesn't include wheat flour? I have yet to see a brand of spaghetti sauce where it states what makes up their tomato paste so I just haven't bought any. I would love to have some on-hand in the pantry for one of those "quick fix" meals!

Most spaghetti sauces are gluten free. All Classico spaghetti sauces are gluten free per their website's statement. I believe Ragu is gluten free also, but double check that. I don't think tomato paste generally contains wheat flour. I could be wrong though.

Tomato paste is safe. it should not be a problem. I buy canned tomato paste all the time, and I think the ingredients are only tomatoes, maybe water, and salt. Tomato paste is not thickened by a flour. It is tomatos that have been cooked down for a long time.

On the whole, there are a lot more gluten free spaghetti sauces than ones that are not safe. We eat it in our house at least once a week. I have used versions of Ragu, Prego, etc. etc.

Also: for general knowledge, due to the Food Labeling Law of 2006, if there WAS wheat flour (in anything), it must now be listed. Wheat is considered an 8 main allergen and is required to be listed. There can still be some lag in labels, but in general, you should be safe.

Hope this helps and you can now enjoy spag sauce!

I use Ragu Regular with Mushrooms with no problems.

Tomato paste is usually tomatoes only. I buy canned tomato paste and tomatoes are the only ingredient on the can.
