    Are Pringles Gluten-Free?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Pringles are one of the most popular potato crisp snacks in the world, but are they gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Here's the rundown.

    Celiac.com 09/27/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which products and brands are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about chips and snacks. In this case, Pringles. Pringles are a popular brand of potato crisp manufactured by Kellogg’s, and they are available in a huge variety of flavors. Are Pringles gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is no. Pringles are not considered gluten-free, and are not recommended for people with celiac disease.

    Pringles are not labeled gluten-free. Nearly all flavors of Pringles are made with wheat starch. Technically, the FDA permits wheat starch in foods labeled gluten-free, provided that the wheat starch is specially processed to remove gluten to below 20 ppm. 

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     However, wheat starch that is not explicitly labeled as being gluten-removed to below 20 ppm gluten, is not considered gluten-free. Also, and this is crucial, Pringles does list wheat as an allergen on its labels. 

    For these reasons, Pringles are not considered gluten-free, and are not recommended for people with celiac disease.

    Sensible Portions brand has a product called Garden Veggie Chips which are almost indistinguishable from Pringles.  They are a healthier snack option made from potatoes, spinach, peas and broccoli... and they're DELICIOUS! 

    I latched onto them about 6 months before figuring out that, in addition to Celiac, I am also allergic to nightshades. So potato products are off-limits to me. But I was so impressed with these, that I try to tell anyone who normally buys Pringles to give them a try.  And, yes, they do offer a few flavored options.

    Stax by Lays is gluten free and tastes as good as Pringles, IMO. Look for the bright blue tube with the yellow label.

    Ten Top Brands of Gluten-Free Potato Chips
    Celiac.com 06/25/2019 - Just in time for summer, here are ten of America's top gluten-free potato chip brands. True, potatoes are naturally gluten-free, and so are potato chips, unless they've got added gluten ingredients. However, many brands do not label their chips as gluten-free, and many of these chips may be made on shared equipment. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their chips are labeled "Gluten-Free," which means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.

      Kathleen, I am not sure I agree with you that your son is asymptomatic with regard to his celiac disease. The horrible stomach pains you describe in your first post could be celiac symptoms as easily as they could be H. Pylori or viral infection symptoms. Yes, the social impact of having celiac disease is perhaps the most difficult dimension of the disorder...

      Staci, take note of the forms of magnesium and zinc I recommended. With some of the vitamins and minerals, the formulation can be very important in how well they are absorbed. Many of the vitamin and mineral products on supermarket shelves are in a form that maximizes shelf life rather than bioavailability which, in your case, would seem to be a critical...

      And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust. It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made. I'm really burdened by the potential social impact...
