My Favorite Gluten-Free Condiments

Eating gluten-free can be difficult in today's world of manufactured foods. There are so many items that have hidden sources of gluten, such as white vinegar (made from wheat). This effects things like hotdogs, pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Most people are unaware that most soy sauce contains wheat. I have found several brands that I have come to use, both as straight condiments and in my cooking, that are gluten-free. When reading the labels, make sure if it says "white vinegar", that it is "distilled white vinegar", or that the product has a certified gluten-free label on it.  Here are some common brands that I use:

Hellmann's mayonnaise
Burman's mayonnaise (Aldi's)
Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce
Heinz ketchup
Burman's ketchup (Aldi's)
La Choy Soy Sauce
Vlasic pickles
Argo corn starch

  1. Do you happen to know if Burman's (Aldi) BBQ sauce is gluten-free?

    1. I have not tried Burman's, but I can get back to you on this. I cannot find any ingredients information on this product online.

      I did find a site where someone else has evaluated a list of BBQ sauces for gluten and listed Sweet Baby Ray's as causing a reaction in some people. I did not see Burman's on their list though.
