Celiac.com 10/06/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which products and brands are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about pasta sauces. In this case, Ragú pasta sauces. Ragú is a popular brand of pasta sauce that comes in several versions.
Is Ragú gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is partly yes, but it's important to check labels.
Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Ragú does not label its pasta sauces gluten-free, but the company does list any known allergens, including gluten, on their labels. Numerous varieties of Ragú are made without gluten. We've gotten no reports of issues with Ragú that is made from non-gluten ingredients from our celiac community.
But, buyers must be careful. Some varieties do contain gluten ingredients. For example, Ragú Traditional style and Ragú Old World Style pasta sauces are gluten-free,
Some varieties, including Ragú Mama's Garden pasta sauces have contained barley in the past, but do not show it as an ingredient as of this writing.
For this reason varieties of Ragú that are made without gluten ingredients are considered gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. As always, read labels, avoid gluten ingredients, and choose carefully.
The company website reads, in part:
QuoteSince product formulations change from time to time, we do not have a printed list of products that identifies those products that contain specific allergens or gluten...check the ingredient list on the label...If gluten is present, it is clearly listed in plain language on the ingredient label (i.e., wheat flour, rye, barley, oats, and malt). Malt is a barley-based ingredient.
