Yup, that's why we like Heinz!

[kds0]

wow that is very weird because I used to use Worcestershire Sauce in cooking alot and I recently looked at the ingredient list on my Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce and it had wheat in the ingredient list.

[psawyer]

Note for any Canadians reading here: In Canada, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is NOT gluten-free. The Canadian recipe uses malt vinegar.

Just wanted to clarify something for canadians who may be reading this. In canada the lea Perrins Worcestershire sauce isn't gluten free it is made from Barley, So any canadians looking at this email do not go by it. Hopefully this is not the same one that Heinz is refering to for the US, the info is at this website.

Open Original Shared Link (canadians) Under ingredients it: Contains Barley

Open Original Shared Link States it's gluten free.

Do any of you canadians on here know of a Worcestershire Sauce that is gluten free, I would love to find one, for drinking ceasers my favorite drink in the world, but yet to find a Gluten free Worcestershire sauce I can add to it!

wow!!!!!!

I was going to note the Canadian recipe/ difference, but Peter beat me to it. Lea & Perrins is gluten free in the US not Canada.

There is a similar situation with Campbell's US and Canada. Both have different gluten free listings.

Please note the absence of beef & cheese or chicken & cheese "Taquitos". I have yet to find any brand that does not have flour in the cheese.

I have not contacted them for about a year, and I swear at that time Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce was NOT on their gluten free list. I'm excited about JD barbecue sauce being gluten free. It was always a favorite of mine, and I'm getting a little tired of Sweet Baby Rays. It's great sauce, but I thing I need a break from it.

You might want to consider Crosse & Blackwell. The Worcestershire Sauce is made in the US by Smucker and imported into Canada by Smucker Foods of Canada Co. At one time, Smucker was known to have a policy to clearly disclose gluten, but in the past year there has been some doubt cast on whether this is still the case. The only potentially problematic ingredient is "Natural flavours." I'll let Shelley Case take it from here in an excerpt from her book, Gluten-Free Diet, A Comprehensive Resource Guide, Expanded Edition, ISBN 1-897010-28-1 (p 46):

It would be rare to find a "natural or artificial flavoring" containing gluten because: [a] hydrolyzed wheat protein cannot be hidden under the term "flavor," and barley malt extract or barley malt flavoring is almost always declared as "barley malt extract" or "barley malt flavoring." For this reason, most experts do not restrict natural and artificial flavorings in the gluten-free diet.

You decide.

I had read earlier that the apple cider FLAVORED vinegar could contain gluten. Does anyone know when this changed? I have pickles I canned here that I haven't eaten in fear of gluten.
