Can anyone tell me which brands of Ham are safe or what I need to look for when buying a whole ham. I am trying to buy a whole ham to cook for the family. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

With ham you're pretty much all right as long as you stay away from honeybaked or commercially glazed. The glaze always has wheat. I've used Kroger, Gwaltney, Thornapple Valley and Smithfield.

Hormel ham is good and hormel company offers a gluten free list. It can be found here: Open Original Shared Link I tried to copy and paste the few ham related items that I saw. Hope it helps.

Very good to know...I always cook turkey and ham at Thanksgiving and have ordered my "completely free from anything" fresh Amish turkey, thinking I would just serve just that this year - the whole house was in an uproar so now I need the ham.

Richard, do you know of any of the gluten-free hams are spiral sliced are corn free too? That could really narrow my search down...thanks.

I don't know about corn in hams.

Thanks anyway - you would just be surprised at the items with corn syrup

Corn syrup is in a lot of foods that are sweet. I don't know how you are going to get around it with a spiral ham....unless the manufacturer uses brown sugar and/or molasses only. You'd have to call them.

I had communication with COOK's (ham) last Spring and they advised that their ham was gluten-free.

Just recalled that Hormel may offer a spiral sliced gluten-free ham....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?
