Avoid gluten-containing condiments
Condiments and sauces often contain hidden sources of gluten. Gluten can be added to condiments by food manufacturers to act as a stabilizer, thickener, or emulsifier. It's crucial to keep in mind that a condiment may include gluten from rye or barley even if it doesn't contain wheat. For example, because malt is made from barley, malt vinegar contains gluten. Before using any condiments, it is essential to check for any foods that may have gluten in the ingredients. You may buy or make your own gluten-free condiments using gluten-free products.
The following condiments may contain gluten:
- Soy sauce
- Salad dressing
- Malt vinegar
- Marinades
- Barbecue sauce
- Pasta sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
- Teriyaki sauce
- ...
