“I ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT FOOD ADDITIVES AND SEASONINGS”

Anyone on a restricted diet knows how difficult it is to avoid hidden sources of gluten.
Food additives and seasonings can contain hidden gluten. It is nice to know that there are many additives and seasonings are gluten-free and safe.

Citric acid
This usually made from corn, beet sugar, or molasses. It is highly processed and purified.


MSG
Monosodium glutamate is often found in Chinese food. It is made from the fermentation of corn, sugar, beets, or sugar cane.

Vanilla
Made from distilled alcohol and flavor that is either extracted from the vanilla seed or comes from artificial vanilla flavoring. Distillation removes the gluten protein.

Vinegar
Gluten-free if it is distilled. Malt vinegar is not distilled and should be avoided.

Starch
When you see “starch” on food labels it always means corn starch and is gluten-free.

There are many wonderful spices that are gluten-free and delicious on fresh seafood and vegetables.
Bragg makes a tasty all purpose seasoning that is GF.

Safe spices: garlic salt, ground cumin, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, and onion powder.
