Celiac.com 11/07/2023 - We get a lot of questions about foods and food products. We've recently gotten a bunch about meat products, especially deli and lunch meats.Which brands of lunch meat are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is many.
We recently did an article on brands of gluten-free pastrami. And we've done articles on brands ofgluten-free ham and gluten-free turkey, but not deli meats in general.
Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
These brands of deli and lunch meat that are either labeled gluten-free, or are naturally gluten-free meaning that they contain no gluten ingredients and list no wheat or gluten allergens, and for most celiacs they are considered safe.
