I tried this gluten-free worcestershire sauce today. It's gluten-free and vegan too. I think its a good sub.

My oldest dd was asking for chex party mix but my youngest is vegan so I tried something new. BTW, Kix works great to sub pretzels or rice crackers.

Here is another but I haven't tried it:

It might taste more original b/c it has molasses and cloves.

Happy crunching! :P

edit: I use BRAGG'S LIQUID AMINOS for the soy sauce and it's gluten-free.

Oh Wonka, say it isn't so!!!!!! :o:(

I wanted to add a bit of kick to one of the meals I have usually used Braggs in. I went to the Lea & Perrins web site and they very clearly stated it was gluten-free. Do you mean to tell me they formulate it different her in Canada & don't direct us to the proper info?

Boy am I going to have a major conversation with their answer desk tomorrow.

Now I have 60 shepherds pie meals that I have to retract the gluten-free status on. :angry:

sure glad I saw this before I accidently put them in the hands of someone who has a gluten problem

Lea & Perrins is only gluten-free in the US. I believe they use malt vinegar outside the US.

Frustrating, isn't it ? I think the Canadian M&M candies are screwed up, too, but the American ones are okay, so far.

Sorry doodle, it is so Open Original Shared Link click on ingedients at the bottom and you'll see the first ingredient is malt vinegar (from barley).

I have found a gluten free Worcestershire sauce recently, actually two. Heinz has a gluten free version (they funnily also do Lea and Perrins), I contacted them to confirm this, and the other one I found is The Wizard's organic wheat-free vegan Worcestershire sauce www.edwardandsons.com

what a shame! it's so easy to avoid an ingredient in the recipe that so many people could react to, and yet they keep it. that is the real kicker about so many products!

Oh, for crying out loud, do I feel DDUUHHMM. I looked right at malt vinegar (barley) but b/c I'm still so green at this I totally missed it.

Thanks W.

I will check out Heinz around here. Not sure if I have ever seen the other one but will look into it as well.

If the store you regularly shop at has only the Lea and Perrins, ask them to order in the Heinz for you. Because Heinz distributes both, that should be doable for the store.

I have never seen regular Kix that did not contain oat flour, which would make it not gluten-free. Does it have a different formulation where you live? We have tried the Honey Kix that do not contain gluten ingredients. Is that what you are using?

There is a new formulation of gluten-free Kix but it does not say gluten-free on the box. The picture on the box is different, it's of an ear of corn. Our store had the new kind once but now only the old oat kind. The new kind does not have oat flour. I will try to post the link if I can find it.

I found it!

I found an old bottle of NON-gluten-free Heinz in my fridge today and it HAS wheat in it, so be sure to get the right formulation...I can toss it...yay! One less thing in my fridge. I use L&P, since last summer.

Today I talked to 1-800-841-1256, the company that handles French's products. The Worcestershire Sauce is gluten free, and I am being emailed a list of all gluten-free French's products. The rep asked for the bar code on my particular bottle of sauce and confirmed that that particular batch is gluten free. FYI, it is not a new bottle. It has been in my frig for months. I think it would be safe to say that any you have purchased recently would be gluten free.

Lea & Perrins in Canada is NOT gluten free. In the US it IS gluten free....as janetw mentioned, but it deserves another shout out.

I forget sometimes also, that we have an international Forum. Campbell's Canada and Campbell"s US is another example of differing gluten free products.

Also in the U.S. Lea & Perrins is soy free as well. Just got validation from the company the other day. :)

I've looked at Bragg's so many times in the store. I've picked it up and put it back because I wasn't sure how it tasted. Then my local health food store had sushi tasting with Bragg's. Now I don't know what to do with the two bottles of soy sauce I have because Bragg's is much better. Love the stuff.

I called Heinz the other day about their worst. sauce (which is gluten-free), and they emailed me a list of all their gluten-free products that same day (which included Ore-Ida and Smart Ones items.) Much easier than making it!

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
