Glucose (from Wheat)

[noucha]

hey so i understand that most of the time when a label says containing glucose syrup (from wheat) , it is usually gluten free. but i am curious if its still gluten free when the label says containing Glucose (from wheat, contains sulphur dioxide)

thanks, carmen

The added presence of sulphur dioxide does not in any way change the gluten-free status. If, like me, you accept that glucose syrup is so highly processed that only the sugar and none of the protein remains, then there are no worries.

The sulfur dioxide is only an issue if you are allergic to sulfurs. If you normally use products with glucose derived from wheat then the addition of this is not going to make any difference. I choose not to use products with glucose syrup derived from wheat. I am very sensitive and will react. If you are newly diagnosed you might want to do a challenge with the product to make sure you don't react.

yeah i didnt think the sulphur bit would impact the ingredient i was actually asking if there is a difference between glucose (from wheat) and glucose syrup (from wheat), and if they are both gluten free as i know the latter one is.

thanks
