Celiac.com 09/27/2022 - Bouillon is one of those products that can often contain gluten. For example, Knorr bouillon cubes contain autolyzed yeast extract from barley, and so are not gluten-free. While the powdered versions of Knorr bouillons do not contain gluten ingredients, they are not considered gluten-free by the company.

In answer to the following question: Is this gluten free?

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
The Unilever company responded by saying that:

"The Knorr Granulated Beef Bouillon is not currently certified Gluten Free. As formulations may change, we advise checking the ingredients before each purchase." -- Unilever Consumer Services MANUFACTURER on June 22, 2021.

The following companies make gluten-free bouillon:

I buy Herb-Ox online and use them for my soups, gravies, etc. They are safe and very good. Strong enough so that you don't need to use more to flavor like some brands.

I use GoBio organic bouillon cubes which is a product of Austria. I can buy them at my local Sobeys store and the local Natural health food store.

  There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat, like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat. 50% of the industrialized world are vitamin...

  I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

  Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and...
