1. Fruit

2. Meat (not breaded of course)

3. Rice Chex Cereal

4. Rice (not flavored from a box, cause most contain gluten)

5. Popcorn

6. Nuts

Do not merely assume that something is gluten free. Old boxes of Rice Chex are not gluten free. Canned beans may or may not be gluten free. Rice Dream rice milk is not gluten free. Not all cheeses or lunch meats are gluten free. Yogurt and chips can contain gluten. Read each and every label each and every time.

This is soooo very important I thought it needed to be said again.

In addition to reading labels you also need to be wary of the words 'natural flavors' barley can and is hidden in there in many items and will not need to be disclosed. The Rice Dream is a great example of that.

When you see natural flavors a call to the company is in order.

Unfortunately, a lot of these things are either brand-specific or variety-specific. There are many spaghetti sauces that have gluten. There also tons of chips that have gluten- flavored potato chips must be checked, "regular" cheese Doritos have gluten, and many tortilla chips do as well. Some types of yogurt and pudding also have gluten.

Some things I buy regularly:

- Del Monte canned tomatoes

- Ragu Spaghetti Sauce- Traditional or Garlic and Onion (check comapny's website for safe varieties)

- Classico pasta sauces - currently all are safe

- Plain frozen vegetables

- Fresh veggies and fruit

- Rice Chex (check for new box)

- Other cereals- Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Trix (always double check the label)

- Corn starch (double check, but I haven't found any unsafe so far)

- Baking cocoa

- McCormick seasonings- will disclose gluten, and they have some great blends, like Monterey Chicken)

- Herb-Ox bouillon cubes- says gluten-free on the package, and cheaper than cans of broth

- Carol Shelby Chili Seasoning bags

- Old El Paso taco seasoning

- Utz potato chips, Fritos

- Popsicles and many ice creams- always check the label, and remember that the more "complicated the ice cream, the more likely it is to have gluten.

- 100% fruit juice

- I'm not a huge fan of yogurt, but I buy Trix yogurt for my kids. It may have more sugar, but it is real yogurt, it's gluten-free, and they like it.

- Eggs!!! We go through eggs faster than you can blink.

- Jif peanut butter, or Wal-Mart brand peanut butter

- Heinz ketchup or Wal-mart brand

- French's mustard

- Lea and Perrin's Worchestershire (gluten-free in the US only)

- La Choy Soy Sauce and Teryaki

I am sorry, I thought the question was in general not specific with brand name listed. I looked at the fruit and thought fresh, canned, dried or frozen is what was after b/c it didn't state fresh only. There are canned fruits that have gluten. Dried fruits can have gluten. Same with the meat. Some nuts can have gluten. Brand names was not specified in the question. I listed those I buy often and I already know are safe. No matter which brand every label has to be checked every time in case the methods or ingredients change. I only buy bagged rice and popcorn(microwaved is soo bad for you). Sorry if I didn't answer the question right

Do over, with some of those iems I listed: (plz correct me if I am wrong)

Here are some of my easy-to-find (and easy-to-fix!) favorites:

-Yoplait yogurts (they label if "gluten-free")

-Nature Valley bars--Fruit & Nut, Roasted Nut Crunch, Trail Mix (the company advised me that they list allergen info. if any ingredient contains, or may come in contact with, gluten)

-Green Giant Simply Steam Frozen veggies-- Garden Vegetable Medley, & Healthy Weight (has carrots, peas, black beans, edamame)--they're very tasty, and only 100 calories in the whole box

-Green Giant Sweet Early Peas in butter sauce (frozen)

Uncle Ben's Ready Rice, whole grain or original (ready to go in 90 seconds in microwave)

-La Choy Teriyaki and Soy sauces

-Baked Tostitos Scoops

-All Hidden Valley dressings and dips, bottle or mix, are gluten-free EXCEPT 3: crushed garlic caesar, fat free bacon & french, and fat gree original ranch with bacon

PS- for anyone who loves rice as much as I do, here is a list of all the Uncle Ben's rices that are gluten-free, received 7/7/08:

Original Converted brand rice, Instant rice, Whole Grain Brown rice, Fast & Natural Whole Grain Instant Brown rice,

Boil-in-bag rice, Ready Rice Whole Grain brown rice, Ready Rice Original Long Grain rice

I'd advise against any Nature Valley product containing oats which, unlike a Clif Bar, are not "sourced" wheat-free. It's true that General Mills has the practice of listing all gluten-containing ingredients; but this is not the same as "gluten-free." (And if it were, why doesn't General Mills label Nature Valley product so, like Rice Chex?)

In North America, oats are often contaminated with wheat dust. Besides Clif Bars, McCann's Irish Oatmeal and Bob's Red Mill Oatmeal are made with oats that are not.

[Cath724]

Ah, the oats topic! Ref. the Nature Valley bars, I spoke to 2 separate representatives this week, and both assured me that their oats were "gluten-free" and if there were any possible contamination that they would list it for CYA. So I'm confused still--- do you think I should ask to speak to someone higher-up there who knows more, or just assume they're contaminated and take them off my grocery list?

Thanks!

[bakinghomesteader]

The Nature Valley nut bars ---Peanut Crunch and Almond Crunch don't have any oats in them at all. They're pretty good! More protien.

[Jaimepsalm63]

Luna bars are great for a quick meal on the go.

Daisy sour cream is gluten-free - wal-mart generic is NOT

Fresh fruit

fresh veggies

fresh fish

eggs (lots of eggs)

fresh goat milk (It's the joy of home schooling in the country you might be able to find fresh goat milk in the store, but I hear it tastes like the goat.

Ah, but it's well worth noting that Clif Bars do contain barley malt. (I'm warning myself not to send another message like the one I sent on July 29, 2009.)

I have had a chance to see CELIA's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide 2009-2010 Edition and it's pretty good. It also contains some non grocery items. You can find it on the margin advertizing here on C.com or on the Gluten Free Mall.

[greenmatter]

great list, thanks!

Also look at your grocery store's website and also ask at customer service if they have a listing of gluten free foods in their store. Our local Family Fresh store (Nash Finch) has done this for us.
