Gluten is becoming labeled better on most food items, but sometimes it can hide in various products. It’s important to not only check the label for wheat, but also barley and rye. Gluten can also hide in the form of cross-contamination. Most often fried foods are fried in the same oil as products that contain gluten. If you have Celiac this amount of gluten will likely make you sick. There are plenty of gluten free substitutes for the items listed, but to avoid getting “glutened” it’s best to always check the label. Below you will find a list of products that gluten can hide in.
