Top Brands of Gluten-Free Tomato Paste

Celiac.com 02/22/2022 - We get more than a few questions from our readers about which items, brands and products are gluten-free. 

We get more than a few questions about tomato paste. Specifically, is tomato paste gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease? The answer is that most all tomato paste is naturally gluten-free. 

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Unless gluten ingredients are added in the manufacturing process, as with Contadina Italian Tomato Paste with Italian Seasonings, which does not list gluten as an allergen, but which the company says is NOT gluten-free. This may be due to trace wheat flour in its seasoning ingredients. 

Some brands, like Cento, Red Gold, Muir Glen, and others specifically label their tomato paste as gluten-free. That means it has been tested to under 20ppm gluten content.

However, many brands, like Del Monte, do not specifically label their tomato paste as gluten-free. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. 

These brands of tomato paste go the extra mile to make sure their products are labeled "Gluten-Free." That means that you can breath extra easy about safely serving them to people with celiac disease.

As always, read labels, avoid gluten ingredients, and choose carefully.
