Vinegar Clarification Please...

No problem, tom. If you really want the answer on this, there are several things you can do.

1. Even if the artichokes are from Spain, they might distributed by an American company or the Spanish company might have a web site.

2. Contact the Vinegar Institute and ask them about "vinegar." If there is a U.S. regulation about this, foreign companies still have to follow the U.S. regulation when they distribute in the U.S.

3. Search the FDA rules for anything pertaining to "vinegar" and how it is made. I think it is almost certainly distilled but cannot guarantee that.

Does this mean that regular Best Foods Mayo is Ok to use? It said vinegar so I discarded it but if we can have vinegar, yeah for mayo.

Please advise!

Best Foods mayo is definitely gluten-free.

Don't toss stuff just because it has an ingredient that you've been told we have to watch out for. Sometimes, as is the case with vinegar or annatto, we don't actually have to worry about it. Other times, such as with natural flavors and modified food starch, we DO have to watch out, but the vast majority of time the ingredient is gluten-free.
