Unsafe Ingredients for the Gluten-Intolerant

Obvious (and some less than obvious) ingredient terms to look for on food and cosmetic labels that we should AVOID:
  • Amino peptide complex (from barley)
  • Amp-isostearoyl hydrolyzed wheat protein
  • Barley (including malted barley)
  • Barley extract
  • Brewer's yeast
  • Disodium wheatgermamido peg2 sulfosuccinate
  • Filler flour
  • Graham flour
  • Hordeum vulgare (barley) extract
  • Hydrolyzed vegetable protein or hydrolyzed wheat protein
  • Hydrolyzed wheat gluten
  • Hydrolyzed wheat starch
  • Modified food starch
  • Rye
  • Seitan
  • Triticum vulgare (wheat)
  • Vegetable starch
  • Wheat (all types including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, bulgur, and triticale)
  • Wheat amino acid
  • Wheat bran extract
  • Wheat dextrimaltose
  • Wheat germ
  • Wheat protein

    Removing Oat-derived ingredients may be advised because many gluten intolerants do not tolerate oats well.

  • Avena sativa (oat) flour
  • Oat extract
  • Oat beta glucan
  • Oat flour
  • Sodium lauroyl oat amino acids
