Anyone know of a good tasting lunch meat that is easy to find at the local grocery store besides Carl Buddig. Thanks

I've bought some that is labeled "gluten free" right on the package but I can't recall the name. It's the more expensive type and is usually located in the deli section rather than with the other meats. I've bought both ham and turkey.

Perhaps you're thinking of Freybe? Their meat sticks are great! :D

I suggest Columbus Meats, all varieties are gluten free (and very tasty!). I especially like the peppercorn crusted hard salami and the Italian turkey. You can find CM at Trader Joes ;)

I eat Hebrew National Salami, Hormel Ham, Hormel Roast Beef, Oscar Meyer Bologna, Oscar Meyer Turkey.

I really like Hormel Cure 81 Ham - that is the bomb (but kinda expensive).

Boar's Head is good too!

Hillshire Farm. Oscar Meyer will clearly list any gluten.

Foster Farms website said to check the ingredient lists for gluten containing items so I'm assuming they list things as well.

Of the prepackaged, I like Hillshire Farm the best. Jenny O second.

Oscar Meyer, I've never really cared for.

All 3 are gluten-free, at least the Roast Beef and Turkey ones I buy. There ends up being so many different kinds so I'd still check.

Actually about 30 minutes ago I just finished a roast beef, colby jack, cheder, bacon sandwich on toasted gluten-free bread.

mmm... bacon.

I found Dietz & Watson at my local Shaw's deli counter. This store took the slicer apart and sterilized it in front of me when I asked for a clean dedicated slicer. I was told any deli will do this if you ask. The staff said even if they are busy, if I request this service due to medical reasons, they have no problem with it.

The only meat listed on the site as not gluten-free was a couple of flavored Chicken Breasts. The Bacon Lover's Turkey, Virginia Ham, Roast Beef, and Pastrami are great. I put some of the turkey and ham along with Cracker Barrel cheese pieces in a salad for my husband. Makes a good meal. I tasted a slice of the Sante Fe Turkey and while it's good, it's a bit too spicy for me.

Here's their site if you want to check them out. www.dietz&watson.net

Cool /corney story about Boar's Head. Mybest friend was riding in the car and heard a Boar's head add and in the add they actually said they are gluten free. She got so excited because she knows my DD was just diagnosed so she called me as soon as the add was over from her car! LOL Of course Boars head is hard to find where I live but it was still cool to hear since where I used to live in GA all we bought was Boars head!

DiLusso brand deli meats now advertise gluten free. I don't know if they are available everywhere but we live in the midwest.

We love all their meats, especially the rare roast beef. We make a killer Philly Steak and Cheese. Saute a little green pepper and onion then add roast beef just long enough to heat. Place in a Kinnikinnick hot dog bun, top with mozzorello cheese, brush the bun with a little melted margarine and place in a hot oven until bun is toasted and cheese is melted. OMG

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.

      It’s true that awareness of celiac disease can vary among physicians, particularly outside of gastroenterology, and many patients end up educating their own providers. Reaching out to someone you trusted for 25 years makes sense if you felt heard and supported. That said, celiac disease management often benefits from a team approach, including a knowledgeable primary care provider and, when needed, a gastroenterologist or dietitian familiar with gluten-related disorders. Advocating for yourself is not unreasonable—it’s part of managing a chronic condition. If your current provider relationship isn’t working, it’s appropriate to seek care where you feel respected and properly supported.

      I understand why that feels concerning. Some Schär products use specially processed wheat starch that has had the gluten removed to meet strict gluten-free standards (under 20 ppm in the U.S. and EU), which is why they can legally and safely be labeled “gluten free” for people with celiac disease. However, wheat must still be listed in the ingredients and allergen statement because it is derived from wheat, even though the gluten protein has been removed. For individuals with a true wheat allergy, these products are not appropriate—but for those with celiac disease, properly tested gluten-free wheat starch is considered safe under current medical guidelines. That said, it’s completely reasonable to prefer products made without wheat starch if that gives you greater confidence, and clearer front-of-package communication could certainly help reduce confusion for shoppers.

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!
