Lipton Onion Soup Mix

[Happycat]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if Lipton Onion soup is gluten free. I called them and she said they list everything on the label. I'm just not sure so I figured I ask here.

Thanks,

Lisa

When they say they'll list everything in the ingredients that's exactly what it means. If the ingredients don't list wheat, rye, or barley, it's gluten-free. That's exactly what we want every company to do.

I pretty sure they make two kinds -- one is gluten-free (I think it's regular old mix) and the other isn't. Read those ingredients.

Richard-

I have noticed that lately you say if the ingredients dont list wheat, barley or rye then it is gluten free. What about oats?

Thanks! I'm so glad I can use it again.

i tried lipton onion soup mix twice and was immediately affected.

this medical site lists the ingredient YEAST as follows:

Lipton is owned by Unilevel. Their policy is to always list wheat, barley, rye or malt in their ingredient listing. If you don't see it, it's not there.

Only the Lipton Onion Soup is gluten free, as of last time I checked.

Sadly, not everything you read on the internet is true. There is an unusual amount of misinformation about gluten in the medical community as a whole. This is just one example.

Yeast, autolyzed yeast and yeast extract are all gluten-free. Yeast extract does have MSG as a byproduct of the process, as does autolyzed yeast for the same reason. Perhaps you reacted to something in the soup other than gluten.

Brewer's yeast is spent yeast from the brewing of beer. It does contain gluten from barley.

As noted, Lipton is a Unilever brand which will clearly name any gluten source in the ingredient list.

I have used the mix on many occasions over my nearly ten years on the diet, and have never had a problem. I am more likely to stir it into sour cream to make a dip than to make soup from it.

I'm surprised at the replies here. I always thought Lipton Onion Soup Mix was NOT safe. I just looked at my package and it says "manufactured in a facility that processes WHEAT" right on it. I know my package is not 10 years old, and since I have been gluten free (October), it has been on my "unsafe" list. I believe I have even called them, but I would have to check my notes. I don't believe that this mix is gluten free.

Well, they don't have a dedicated factory for just the onion soup. Never have. But that does not automatically mean that the onion soup contains gluten. Make your own decision. I consider the type of product. In this case, there are noodles in the other soups. It's not like there is loose flour flying around the plant.

I have used the Onion Soup Mix on roasts, to make dip and in burgers and I have had no problem and I am real senstive. I don't even eat out I am so senstive.

I'm with Peter on this one. We use the Lipton onion soup often & for many years, no problems & I say also Gluten Free.... For you who will not touch anything that states made in a facility that also process wheat products then you will not want to eat this product. By this thinking you are also limiting your food choices....everyone must use thier own judgement ...
