Top Brands of Gluten-Free Steak Sauce

Celiac.com 12/05/2020 - We recently fielded a question about whether A-1 stake sauce is gluten-free by pointing out that it was not labeled gluten-free, but likely safe, as it contains no gluten ingredients, and manufacturer Kraft is very good about labeling allergens, including gluten. A product made with no gluten ingredients not having a gluten-free label is not necessarily a big deal, but many people with celiac disease like to play it safe. 

It's also true that there numerous brands of steak sauce are gluten-free. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their steak sauces are labeled "Gluten-Free." That means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.
