Swanson's Broths?

[jds22]

Are Swanson chicken and beef broths ok? I couldn't find any info on their website so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks,

Jerry

The Swanson broths are NOT OK. I checked with them a while ago. Health Valley sells organic chicken, beef, vegie broths that if you buy them in the cans are OK, but for some reason the waxed cardboard containers have gluten (made in different plants, they told me) Also Herb Ox boullion cubes are OK.

Imagine's broths are ok. (Do check on the soups that have soy sauce in them, though - the labels are quite clear.)

i have heard by numerous people that swansons was not gluten-free. i recvd a letter form campbells that states certain swansons are gluten-free. i have not bought it bc of the high amount of people that say they are not gluten-free. whats the deal with it, so confusing

Here's the deal: only certain SIZES of Swanson are gluten-free. Which makes me wonder about thier TRUE GFitey :-) You have to read the lables. Some don't list wheat, others do...sigh...I stick with Herb Ox Bouillion myself.

Campbell says some Swansons are OK. If you have a Kroger somebody just posted that Kroger broths are gluten-free. I did not check this myself.

I'm so glad I read this post!

I bought a can of Swanson's broth the day after I was diagnosed. (Luckily, it is still in the cabnit). I read on one gluten-free list that it was gluten-free, but now that I'm learning a little more, I'll go home and make sure the kind I bought was the gluten-free kind...I've been busy this past weekend donating all of my Glutened can food and boxed food to charity. Hopefully, someone without gluten intolerance will enjoy it all!

Thanks again! -Julie

ARGGGGGGG I have been eating it.. but youre right, the cardboard box has gluten, its the can, certain size that does not. HOW STUPID IS THIS!!! I am very limited here... I live in rural Iowa.. Swanson and store brands are it unless I go to Des Moines which is over an hour an half away. DANG IT..

You might consider making your own broth the next time you make a chicken and freeze it. It tastes better too!

Hi all, I am reading the swanson 32 0z box .....i don't see the gluten...i talked to swanson sevral months ago and they said all their ready to serve sizes are gluten-free...what ingredient contains the gluten.....Kathy

The Remarkable Brand Chicken Broths are gluten-free. They are the brands for Randell's, Safeway, and Tom Thumb. They just updated their gluten-free list two week ago which would be the middle of October 2004. The rep said all of their chicken broths are currently gluten-free.

Traci,

The good news is that you can easily make your own broth by using Herb Ox Bouillion cubes...says Gluten Free right on the canister!!!!
