Do Omelets Contain Grain, and Are They Gluten-Free?

Free range eggs are safe but yes, but watch out what you put in it. In South Africa, the most well known brand of spices, has gluten listed amongst Allergens in their Cinnamon! 😣

Meats: Ham, bacon, sausage, etc., is typically gluten-free and grain-free, but always check if they're processed as some may contain gluten ingredients as fillers, especially sausages.

Sausage are not typically gluten-free. The traditional way to make it involves bread crums or flour. Depending on your country, there are good chances that your sausages are NOT gluten-free. In USA, there's a good range of gluten free sausages, but it's far from being 100% gluten-free. As for the other meats, you've got to check the ingredients.

Herbs and Spices: Generally gluten-free and grain-free, but mixed seasonings should be checked for additives that could contain gluten.

That's wrong! Many spice brands pack up their products on the same line as gluten containing food. Therefore, there's a high risk for cross contamination. You've got to make sure that your spices and herbs are gluten free.

Omelets are typically grain-free and gluten-free as they are primarily made from eggs.

Be aware that some restaurants cook their pancakes and their crepes on the same griddle. There's a high risk of cross contamination. Also, some restaurants put some flour in the mix in order for the omelette to stay together easily. You should be careful when eating out and ask for the safety of the product. Cross contamination happens all the time, even in high rank restaurants.

Jefferson: Some Deli items like bacon, in Australia contain Gluten; most "Don's" smallgoods products contain Gluten, but! they list it on their packaging so you know.!

Alex: 100% on the mark there. In Australia, McCormack Foods (Spice) supplier, advertises their products as having the potential for cross-contamination. A legal requirement here in Australia forces companies to advertise that, although there is no Gluten in a specific product, They still have to warn consumers it was manufactured in a plant that has other Gluten containing products.

Funny Story. The family was staying at a 5-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the breakfast bar had a sign promoting "Gluten Free" cereal; I was like wow, that's awesome, so I politely asked the attendant at the bar, (Which of your cereals is Gluten Free) Blank expression, accompanied by Umm! he could not tell me so I got him to bring the manager out, to whom I asked the same question, he too, could not tell me, so I said they should take the sign away as it is misleading and dangerous for those of us who suffer Coeliac Disease, which he complied.

As for restaurants, I steer well clear of them as the potential for a bad night out is not worth it, financially and or health wise.
