Turkey Broth/chicken Broth

[holdthegluten]

Are these a concern as ingredients in fully cooked ham and chicken if the ingredients just state chicken broth or turkey broth

If it says just chicken broth I would question it since some broths contain wheat.

The US food labeling law states that if a product contains wheat it MUST be listed as an ingredient.

Check it to be sure, the most common problem would be from barley and that need not be disclosed. Barley Malt is used in a lot of broths as a flavoring.

thisis what I have done.... called the company.. I am on my mean soap box here sorry.

I have called companies to ask.. one conagra rep read to me... off a standard script.. that the company will not send me a list of the safe foods. AND THAT if its got wheat in it IT WILL BE LISTED.. I got mad and asked her to look up my questionable ingredient.. she told me no I hung up.

So SOme comapnies can give you help in understnading the ingredients in there products .. most do not care. Most companies say they change the recipies and dont want to be held responsible to any one for changing the recipie.. so get into the habit of looking at each label. But your best bet is to make it your self or go to whole foods and look at the 365 brand. We got some broth and it was fine. no one vomited on thanks givingl we were thankful . It seems to me that things in the ingredient buisness is changing. the listings are becoming easier to read.. the hydrolozed products are now saying where they are getting the ( wheat from ( soy corn) so its been listed. good luck chris
