About The "questionable" Ingredients

[HelpinOhio]

What about the "questionable" ingredients that might be gluten free?

Do you find that all of them are gluten free? some of them?

(the 2nd list on this page: https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html )

None of the food or items that I use for cleaning or anything I put on me has any of the gluten containing ingredients in it, but many of them have the questionable ingredients.

Namely: Artificial Color, Caramel Color, Coloring, Flavoring, Food Starch, Maltodextrin, Modified Food Starch, Natural Flavoring, Natural Flavors, and a few others.

Will these always be safe in the US? How great is the chance that they would contain gluten? Thanks.

Let me see if I can answer:

Artificial Color - would not be wheat, barley, malt or rye

Caramel Color - used to be a concern due to the source, but is no longer and is considered safe

Coloring - ? but never a concern to me

Natural Flavoring - it would be wise to call the company, but wheat must be listed

Flavoring - same as above

Food Starch - not a problem with gluten due to processing

Maltodextrin - is safe in the US

Mod Food Starch - safe unless listed as wheat

***Wheat, by law must be listed. Barley, malt and rye are not required.

Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten:
