I just read somewhere the vanilla is not gluten free if it has an alcohol base?? Does anyone know this to be true? A lot of posts I have been looking at on here for the holidays have receipes that use vanilla extract..so I am confused.

It used to be believed that distilled alcohol was a source of gluten. This is now generally accepted to be untrue. Vanilla extract is made from distilled alcohol, and is gluten free. There is still a lot of old information out there on the internet that says that vanilla has gluten in it. Vanilla extract is listed on the safe foods list here on celiac.com.

McCormick's alcohol is synthetic--I called and spoke to them about it.

HI, ok here we go.. McCormicks-- the Vanilla is gluten-free-- why? because the "alchol" in it is snythesized-- it is man made-- they told me it is safe- I use it for my daughter -- in her pancakes to add a little extra flavor-- she has had no problems.. Mc Cormicks is great- if they add something to their products it is listed on there.

My sister once told me that she has not once found a vanilla with gluten in it yet--I do not worry about it. She bakes so much and is a celiac, plus a dietician--so I do value her opinion.

dairy free

soy free

Pumpkin Pie!

And the only ingredient I was worried about was the vanilla. The forum here is so wonderful. Thanks everyone.

Oh, and if you think duplicate answers are useless, they're not. They only serve to confirm each other.

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
