The Magnitude of Label Reading When Gluten-Free
Always be mindful
As a beginner label reader, it's important to read labels on all food and specialty products. Gluten is sneaky and can appear in things that most would assume are gluten-free are in fact, not.
- Distilled alcohol
- Beer and ales
- Malt beverages and vinegar
- Lipsticks, lip gloss or lip balm
- Certain drugs and medication
- Shampoo
- Vitamins
- Play-dough
Another thing to keep in mind is that wheat-free is not the same as gluten-free! Don't be fooled but this slight play on words.
