Gluten-free Deli Meats

I've just been diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis and am starting a gluten-free diet. One of my problems is lunch at work, I have found corn tortillas as a replacement for the bread but have questions about deli meats such as turkey and ham. Does anyone have a guide to popular deli meats? I live in Western Massachusetts and have some of the national stores here but not all.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there! My favorite is Deli Selects--Hillshire Farms. The ones that come in the glad containers. I called them and they said their Deli Selects lunch meats are gluten-free. Their info is below if you want to call and ask about other products:

Applegate Farms and Diestel make gluten-free(and CF) lunch meats.

:) Thanks all of you for your valuable suggestions. Now I can go to the grocery store and know exactly what to buy.

Oscar Meyer (Kraft) will clearly list gluten in ingredients. Carl Buddig meats are all gluten-free. All but one or two of Boar's Head meats are gluten-free (olive loaf and one other). I'm pretty certain that all Sara Lee prepackaged meats are gluten-free.

We buy Applegate Farms from WholeFoods and Colubus Brand Turkey from reg stores. I've heard Boar's Head brand is gluten free, but can't confirm.

All Black Bear are gluten free except some hot dogs and one of their chicken meats. You can go to their website as it is clearly listed.

Also, Thumans state in their radio ads that their cold cuts are gluten free.

Lots of Jenny-O turkey slices are gluten free. Here is the gluten-free list for Hormel/Jenny-o

I just called Hormel about their hard salami. It is gluten-free!

All of the Boar's Head cold cuts and cheeses are gluten-free, except Dutch Loaf, Pickle and Pepper Loaf, Smoked Gruyere Cheese and Stuffed Cherry Peppers (all stuff I don't eat!). I confirmed this info with Boar's Head on 6/2/05.

If you purchase items in the deli, be sure to ask them to clean the machines to limit cross contamination. Several of Kroger's Private selection deli meats are gluten-free. We like the roast beef, the roast turkey, and my husband gives in to the honey ham. They can also be purchased in small containers in the meat department.

I absolutely love the Applegate Farms products - www.applegatefarms.com I eat their Roast Turkey and Bacon all the time. I also highly recommend their Chicken Hot Dogs!

Also Shelton's has some products too (not quite deli though - burgers/hot dogs and meats). www.sheltons.com

Does anyone know if these products are available in Canada? I know Carl Buddig is, but what I'd really LOVE, is a pepperoni or salami that's gluten-free? Any ideas? I have Loblaws, IGA, Dominion, Sobey's...

Hormel Turkey Pepperoni is gluten free. The information is printed on the back of the packet, along with the ingredients and it's very good! :)

My husband & I eat the Land o' Frost lunchmeats. They sell them most everywhere & I have several varieties to choose from.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
