Gluten Free Meats

[Synthia]

Hi

My husband was just told he has a gluten sensitivity. Which I guess means no more burger king. Anyways I was hoping someone could tell us the names of a company that sells gluten free hotdogs, sandwich meats or sausages also be great if we could fine a pepperoni so he can still have pizza.

Any help with any food would be good. We read all labels and anything we recognize as gluten we don't buy but there are all sorts of crazy words that mean nothing to me.

and last question does anyone know a bread recipe that is as close to the same bread he use to eat as possible.

oh and forgot to say i'm in ontario Canada. since this could make a huge diffrence.

Hormel labels their gluten free items, all the lunch meats in the brown package are gluten-free and their pepperoni is also.

Fresh meats with no added broths (most common in chicken and turkey) are safe. If you live in an area that has a Wegmans although they haven't yet labeled their products like the store made sausages gluten free the butchers have a list in the back that they will gladly check. Wegmans does have the gluten free label on the lunch meats and cheese that are safe. It is a circle with a G inside.

Jennio will also label their gluten free meats.

I found that the gluten free processed meats sold at the grocery store usually contained dairy or soy. Both are major no-no's for me so I went to a butcher shop instead. The butcher makes brats, sausage, jerkey ect. that are free of grains, dairy and soy except for a little corn syrup solids in the brats. We also found that the meats are fresh, locally produced, and cheaper than at the grocery store.

Hope this helps,

Thank you both for your help.

In the U.S. hot dogs, sandwich meats, pepperoni, sausages and fresh meats are almost universally gluten-free, and if they aren't, the offending grain has to be listed. You need to check out what the law is in Canada, but my guess is meats will be easy to deal with.

Pillers web site has an entire list of every thing they make with all allergy notices, if you are looking for lunch meats. I am also in Ontario.

thank you all so very much. Pillares is the main one sold in the store my husband works in

for some reason i never even thought to look there even there Kolbassa shows as being safe.

I have a question, why would meat NOT be gluten free!? What is added and why wouldn't you just eat fresh meats?

Thanks!

Plain meat is usually just that. But processed meats, such as sausages or luncheon meats, may use a binder, which can be from grain sources. Sausages also have a casing, which can contain grain-sourced materials. Marinades can also be a possible gluten source.

I must emphasize that gluten in meat products is rare, and in the US will *ALWAYS* be declared on the label.
