Gluten-free Food Dyes And Gf Sprinkles?

[Mayam]

Hi,

I am making a birthday cake and icing and I am wondering if anyone knows which food dyes are gluten-free? McCormicks has many spices that are gluten-free but I'm not sure about their food dye.

Cake Mate colored frosting (in the plastic tubes) used to be listed in the gluten-free Product Listing Guide as a gluten-free product, but it is not listed in the 2004 Product List Binder. Does anyone know if this product is still gluten-free?

Lastly, Cake Mate sprinkles used to be okay as well. They are also not in the new product list - are these still gluten-free?

I could always call the company, but I keep forgetting until after business hours and I need to make the cake on Friday!

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,

Rachel

Rachel-

Cake Mate decorating gels are gluten-free, so are all Decorating Icings and Writing Icings. I am not sure about the sprinkles though. And the McCormick company lists gluten clearly on their products.

Here is another site, this one has much better pricing than the other site. This one will sell you 8 oz for only 1.95, however there is a $20 minimum order before shipping and shipping was around $10. It might be worth it if a few moms went in together on the order.

Never found a food dye of concern, but with McCormick, just read the ingredients.

I usually use Wilton colors (I prefer the gel colors), sprinkles, and sanding sugars. They list gluten in their ingredients and are always very helpful when I call them.

Right now they only offer red sugar sprinkles that are gluten free, but if that is something that can help you, and you want to support the little company over a big one, this company has gluten-free sprinkles: Open Original Shared Link

It's been a while since I've purchased them, but Whole Foods has great gluten-free sprinkles. They come in a box, with tiny packets inside.
