Meat - Do I Need To Check To Make Sure It's gluten-free?

So I've been humming along feeling pretty confident in the new lifestyle and my ability to know gluten-free from not-gluten-free. Then my mom asked me this morning if she needed to buy a specific brand of pork tenderloin for dinner this evening. Uh oh. :( I haven't been checking meat at all - we buy only "plain" meat, not marinated or anything. Should I be checking on meat??

Plain meat, chicken, pork, (etc) should be fine. The concern comes when it is marinated.

Yes, plain meat is ok. But the breading is a no no and any meat with marinate or BBQ sauce should always be checked. Even seasonings should be checked. Others have listed that I believe Kraft lists gluten on the label, not too sure about the others. Good luck with any future meat meals. ;)

Raw meat is extremely easy. If a manufacturer adds anything with any grain in it, that grain must by USDA law be clearly listed. All you have to do is read the ingredients.

OK, I feel better. If I'd taken time to not panic and thought for a second I'd have figured it out...I'd have still second guessed myself, but I'd still have figured it out! I want people to ask me before they give him things, but sometimes it makes me worry that I've missed something. :o Thanks for the quick responses.

Make sure you check the ingredients of any deli meat, I have run across a few that have wheat.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less...

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.
