What Is Barley Malt Extract?

I've seen this on several different products and I"ve assumed it's gluten, am I correct or is this safe?

"Barley" = Gluten :(

"Malt" = Gluten :(

Anything from barley is taboo for sure. Malt unless explicitly stated as being from another source is barley. So, in general, anything with malt in the name is to be avoided. Maltodextrin sounds like a problem, but in the US, and in every case I know of in Canada, is made from corn unless explicitly qualified.

I figured it was, that's why I've avoided it. I wasn't sure what the "extract" was. I took it for granted it was gluten. just double checking to make sure I was right!

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:
