I recently purchased a new product (new to me). It was labeled as wheat and gluten free but when I got it home and read the ingredients I saw it contained malt vinegar. I thought malt vinegar had gluten. Am I wrong?

Sounds like it might be a labeling goof. Can you call the company and see what they have to say.

Unfortunately, I didn't think of that and I already threw out the box. I believe the brand is Blue Horizon and the product is Fish and Chips fish bites. It's fish nuggets rolled in potato flakes. Is anyone familiar with this brand/product?

Malt Vinegar from Barley

if it is brewed is 'NOT gluten-free'

but if it is distilled it is gluten-free,

as no gluten proteins carry over during the distillation process.

.

Maybe the vinegar was RICE MALT Vinegar ???

.

Best Regards,

I've just about given up on products with vinegar (of any kind) because most of them just state VINEGAR! Hello,?? that's not enough, you know!

What kind of vinegar would that be. Living in a country with strong British roots it is most likely malt. They don't even say that, let alone whether they brewed or distilled it. Goodness only knows, there is enough brewing going on here I would doubt that it was distilled :lol:

See the response I received from the company:

"We do use a distilled malt vinegar. Products have been tested by third party. Gliadin is a glycoprotein that is an essential building block of gluten. Our testing validates that there is no wheat and no gluten."

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
