Is Wegman's Ketchup Gluten-free?

[CantEvenEatRice]

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.
