Always Read the Labels

Some ingredients are questionable and may or may not contain gluten.  Always verify that these ingredients are not derived from prohibited grains:

• Brown Rice Syrup (frequently made from barley)
• Caramel Color (sometimes made from barley)
• Dextrin (usually corn, but may be derived from wheat)
• Flour or Cereal Products
• Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP), Vegetable Protein, Hydrolyzed Plant Protein (HPP), or Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
• Malt or Malt Flavoring (usually made from barley)
• Malt Vinegar
• Modified Food Starch
• Soy Sauce (contains wheat)

Be a Food Detective

• Call the Manufacturer
• If you are unsure about any ingredients you can call or email the manufacturer to verify the food in question.
• If you are in doubt, it is better to avoid that food until you can be sure it is gluten-free.
• Wheat-Free Does Not Mean Gluten-Free
• Wheat-free products may still contain rye, barley, spelt or other ingredients that are not GF.
• Make an appointment with a New Seasons Market Nutritionist for a free consult or attend our regularly scheduled GF Products store tours.
