Calcium Supplement Label

I noticed that the label on my calcium supplement (Meijer - "Naturals") says "No Added Gluten". I'm wondering about the word "added". The ingredient list doesn't seem to have any gluten containing components, and there is only a warning about soy. Has anybody seen this wording before on anything else?

Yes. Actually all of my supplements have the "no added" description. No added salt, gluten, soya, yeast etc.

It is wierd, since it sounds like the supplement already has gluten but the company did not add any more. But it is not like it sounds. It is just another way of gluten-free labeling.

Don't think it twice. It is gluten free.

It's basically how they protect themselves from any liability, in case there is some gluten. In most cases, I'd like to think it is safe. They're just not making any iron-clad guarantee.

Yeah...that's what I figured too. At first glance, it makes you think of the "no added sugar" line.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
