Gluten-free
Who needs to avoid gluten, where it hides, and how the gluten-free label on our recipes is worked out.
How we label recipes
A recipe is marked gluten-free only when every ingredient was matched and none of them contains gluten. Oats are treated as containing gluten because most are processed alongside wheat.
That makes the label conservative, but it cannot see your kitchen or the brand you buy. If you have coeliac disease, check labels for cross-contamination.
Worth knowing
- Soy sauce, stock, spice blends and oats are common hidden sources. Buy certified versions.
- Gluten-free products are not automatically healthier or lower in calories.
Common questions
Will going gluten-free help me lose weight?
Only if it leads you to eat fewer calories. There is nothing about gluten itself that causes fat gain.
