Is Wegman's Ketchup Gluten-free?

I just realized that the Wegman's ketchup bottle does not have a "G" on the label. It is a V and an L. The ingredients look okay, but I am thinking it must have gluten. I can't find it on the Wegman's gluten free list either. If so, it is going to be a long night because I ate some before I realized. Does anyone know for sure? Thank you!!!!

I use it, no problems. Wegmans will not put the G on unless it is gluten free for sure. It has I believe vinegar of some sort in it and if the supplier cannot verify to them gluten free they will not put the G on it. I do use it with no problems. They are a tough company when it comes to labeling.

That is my favorite store!!!!!

What is "G", "V" and "L"???

I would expect that most Ketchups are ok.

Wegman's uses letters to identify the allergens and vegetarian/vegan status. The G is used for Gluten free, the L for Lactose free and the V for Vegan. I thought ketchups were okay, but was worried that it was not labeled with a G for gluten free. Wegman's is usually really good about labeling all of their gluten free products with a G.

If it had any wheat in it, by law, it is required to be listed/disclosed because of the Food Labeling Law of 2006.

So, that would only leave barley/malt, by chance.

If the issue is if the vinegar has wheat, if it doesn't list it, by law, it is safe from wheat.

Ah, see this country girl learned something. We have a Farmers Foods and Food Lion- both non gluten friendly.

But Ketchup over all is gluten free, unless it's a funky kind. I prefer to choose Heinz.

Momma Goose, what is nice is the "G" is in an orange circle so it is so easy to spot. Makes grocery shopping so much easier.

I know I look forward to my trips to that store. My grocery stores around here do not do too much for gluten free. Giant has a gluten section but it is all the cardboard stuff, they carry Tinkayda pasta but other than that no good cookies, no crackers period. No decent cereals. Sad selection :(

Wegmans will use corn distilled vinager in many things, that they will mark with a G, if the item has gluten (wheat) grain derived vinager it does not get the G. Personallly I trust wegmans and I do not buy any products they produce that do not use the G. Heinz is a brand that uses corn distilled vinager only last I checked, when I use Ketchup that is what I get.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By trents · Posted

      Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase is produced in the small intestine. It is not produced in the pancreas. https://cymbiotika.com/blogs/health-hub/understanding-what-organ-produces-most-digestive-enzymes   "Lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine of humans and other mammals." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase Studies have shown through micro analysis that the small bowel lining from those with celiac disease may never completely heal, even after years of gluten free living. There is healing at the macro level but not all cellular functions may be restored.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you so much for this thorough and informative post. This information does help me to understand my body better. I will commit to a strict gluten free diet. I may not have a diagnosis but I know gluten is causing issues. The worst offender, white bread, causes a reaction within 20-30 minutes. Which I hate because I like sandwiches. Lol. Common sense dictates that it's time to stick to a strict gluten free diet. Thanks for the tips about alternatives. I do cook and bake so it's helpful to know what may work. I appreciate so much all the time and effort you all have put into helping me understand and being supportive. Thank you.

      I went back to consuming dairy after a year of healed villi.  What I didn't know is that along with developing celiac, my pancreas was no longer producing enough enzyme to consume lactose.  My GI said he often sees this with celiac patients.  Some people can go back to dairy with no problems at all and others will develop odd symptoms like ataxia--balance issues, etc.-- for no apparent reason.  It took me a year of suffering to get it all straightened out.  Hope this saves you some time!

      Do you know what the lab's standard range is for the IgA tTG2 result? The Endomysial IgA basically tests for the same antibodies as IgA tTG2 but it uses an older, less sensitive method and the result is positive/negative rather than quantitative. Hence, it is possible to show raised IgA tTG2 antibodies without getting a positive test for Endomysial IgA antibodies.

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly
