    Sbj is correct. There is no regulatory definition by the FDA of "gluten-free." Canada has strict rules about the ingredients in "gluten-free" products, but even those apply only to ingredients intentionally in the product. In both Canada and the US, labels regarding shared equipment, or shared facilities, are completely voluntary. So, just because you...

    I would be MUCH more concerned about the oat flour than the flavoring. Even if you tolerate pure oats, the oat flour is almost certain to be contaminated with wheat. So, my vote is that it is NOT gluten-free.

    Under the US law effective January 1, 2006, wheat must be disclosed by the word "wheat." No other words are acceptable under the law. Even ordinary flour must be labeled as "wheat flour," "flour (wheat)" or a statement under the ingredients in the same size type stating "Contains: Wheat." There is no minimum which can be overlooked. Rye, barley and oats...

    VH is owned by ConAgra, and they have ConAgra's policy that any gluten will be clearly listed in the ingredients. The majority of VH sauces are gluten-free, including their regular and reduced-sodium soy sauces. VH products are, to the best of my knowledge, only sold in Canada.

    Knorr will clearly disclose gluten. If you don't see it listed by the name of the grain, it isn't there. Caramel color is not a concern.

    It could be something other than gluten. Kraft Zesty Italian is gluten-free, but I get a nasty reaction to it. I use Kraft Golden Italian frequently without issues, but have burning and heartburn if I touch the zesty stuff. I guess that for me is is just too zesty.

    As Janet said, it is a Nestle product. Read the label, looking for any gluten grains. If they are not listed, they are not there.

    Yes, it's gluten-free. Lipton has a clear disclosure policy on gluten, so if you don't see it on the label, it's not there. Caramel color, at least in North America, is not something we need to worry about, in any case.

    It is generally accepted that distilled alcohol (and vinegar) does not contain gluten, regardless of the original souce. The distillation process removes any gluten because the large gluten molecule is too big to pass into the distillate. In the US, "vinegar" when described by that single word, is both distilled and derived from a non-gluten source, so...

    Vinegar (with the exception of malt vinegar) is generally accepted as gluten-free. Nevertheless, some people do have problems with vinegar. Malt vinegar will be labelled as such. If it just says vinegar, enjoy!

    Going back to Lawry's for a moment, I wish to withdraw my comments about the US version possibly having gluten. Looking into it more, Lawry's is a Unilever brand, and Unilever is company which will clearly disclose gluten. So, based on the ingredient lists for both countries, I believe that it is gluten-free in both cases. See also this thread which discusses...

    No, I'm not sure. I heard somewhere that the US version might have barley, but my source was NOT the manufacturer, so if you have called them and asked, I would think your source is better than mine. In the second post on this thread, Molly said it wasn't gluten-free, and she is usually a good source, but again, I would accept the manufacturer's statement...

    Lawry's is different in Canada and the US. If my understanding is correct, the Canadian version is gluten-free, but the US version has barley in the flavors. **Edited: I was wrong. It is gluten-free** Ingredient lists: USA: Salt, sugar, spices (including paprika and turmeric), onion, cornstarch, garlic, tricalcium phosphate (prevents caking), paprika...

    I'm confused. I went to the L&P web site, and it says that their sauce is made in two plants, one in the US and one in the UK. But I have a bottle here, purchased in Canada a long time ago (we hardly ever use it), and it says "Made and distributed by E.D.Smith and Sons Limited, Winona, Ontario, Canada for Lea & Perrins Ltd, Worcester, England....
