Brianna's Salad Dressing Gf?

[Anya78]

I'm trying to identify the source of a reaction. Does anyone know if Brianna's French Vinaigrette salad dressing is gluten-free? Or does anyone have it nearby and they could tell me the phone number on the package to call for info? (I have it at home, but I'm at work). Thanks!

If you have a problem with rice - that wouldn't be a gluten issue.  I love their dressings and do well with them.  Looking at the ingredients - it looks like they use apple cider vinegar.

rice wine vinegar contains barley, which is not gluten free. this is a very common mistake people make. rice wine vinegar is NOT safe for celiacs.

Which flavor has " rice wine vinegar"? Neither of the two that said " French" contains rice wine vinegar.

Maybe you mean malt vinegar?  The kind you have with Fish and chips?  Malt  vinegar is not gluten free and is based on barley.   It is fermented instead of distilled.  

If it were me, I would probably react to the additive Xanthan Gum.  Just a personal intolerance of mine.  So, I avoid commercially processed dressings.  Hubby can consume them without issue.  

Oh, my cousin got glutened by a salad dressing.  Same flavor and bottle type but different brand.  The new one was not gluten free.  Now she always read the labels, even if she has to put on her reading  glasses to do it in the store!

Rice wine vinegar is completely safe for celiacs.  The only one that is not gluten free is MALT VINEGAR.

rice wine / rice vinegar often do contain barley malt. many online forums are incorrect. always check the ingredients of rice wine vinegar - sometimes safe, often times not.

i have reacted to rice wine vinegar many many times. i eat mostly raw or cook my own food (rarely eat out or anything packaged) so it's very easy for me to pinpoint exactly what causes my reactions.

my bottle of this dressing stated "rice wine vinegar" on the ingredients. i have never purchased this one before, but perhaps they have a new recipe, or this is an old bottle of old recipe. i threw out the bottle already or i would post a photo. 

it was the french vinagraitte with the grapes on the bottle.

It's the tocopherols. I just ate the strawberry label one and my dh is back with a vengeance. I emailed and asked source of tocopherols but haven't heard back yet.

Hmm, I don't see anything about rice wine vinegar in this article you linked?  It seems to be about Balsalmic vinegar (grape vinegar) instead.  I don't think they even make rice wine vinegar in Italy because they probably don't grow rice there?

tocopherols are not a concern for Celiacs.  they are gluten free no matter what the original source.
