What does the label say?  My Heinz (non-organic) says gluten free right on the label.  Maybe your organic version does not.  Gluten free trumps organic for a celiac.  

I just wanted to add, that the ingredients on the organic label may all be gluten free, but for some reason the manufacturer does not add the gluten-free label.  Maybe they test the non-organic version to assure the consumer that it meets the gluten-free FDA guidelines? I honestly can not recall the reason why I would NOT go for the organic except for  the lure of the gluten-free label.   

I am going to check it out out during my next shopping trip!  

Update:  hit my local Target and found that all the Heinz Ketchup is marked gluten free.  Not sure where you are located LILO, but it is definitely gluten free in the U.S.  I think Heinz made a relatively new label change within the last couple of months (or I went for cheaper ketchup!) ?

What ingredient makes you think it is not?

If you're in Canada, Heinz (Kraft) regular ketchup is not labelled gluten-free on the bottle because they cannot guarantee the origin of their spices due to changing suppliers. Kraft makes Heinz ketchup in Canada and has a policy that they will not label something gluten-free unless they are 100% sure at all times of its gluten-free-ness. For example, other products they make such as the Classico pasta sauces, baked beans, some salad dressings etc. state on the bottle/package explicitly state that they are gluten-free.

The ingredients in the ketchup (tomatoes, sugar, white vinegar, salt, onion powder, spice) are described as being gluten-free, by the company. Note: the ketchup recipe in Canada is slightly different (I have listed the Canadian recipe - US one has corn syrup and some other additives). Not sure if this info is relevant to the US version, which as stated by previous posters is labelled gluten-free. Might be of interest though - there are quite a few companies that don't label their stuff as gluten-free in Canada despite selling the same product on both sides of the border. 

So... is the Canadian (or any) version safe? Most likely; spices are likely a very small component of the recipe (last on the list), and so on the off-chance that they are slightly contaminated the overall effect would be small... unless you're the type to drink it by the bottle, perhaps. I don't eat ketchup much, but I do eat other Kraft products that do not bear gluten-free labels such as their peanut butter and various cheese products. I'm pretty tinfoil hat (DH blows), but in my experience Kraft seems honest/trustworthy.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      This is an expanding question on this topic, I’m not sure where to put it…. I get mixed answers on this but sense I’m Coeliac and my husband isn’t we do still use the same kitchen and cooking utensils-for the most part. I was told by dietitians and GI dr that only soap and water will “kill” the gluten. I am still so confused about this topic, even after being gluten-free for 3 years. I’m sure I’ve accidentally gotten cross contamination, but haven’t knowingly put anything with gluten in my mouth! I probably get more contamination from eating out than in our “shared kitchen”. I make all my bread in a gluten-free bread machine, and he generally uses a toaster oven to heat up gluten containing items. I bake both regular and gluten-free items in our oven, (Not at the same time). I’m constantly wiping down counters and cabinets with soap and water. I keep gluten-free items in a separate cabinet. I don’t seem to be super sensitive to gluten. I was confirmed by blood and on colonoscopy about 15 years ago, but continued eating Gluten not really knowing the damage I was doing to my body.  Can anything besides soap and water “kill” gluten? How hot would an oven have to be before killing it? So any kind of soap and any temp of water omit the gluten? That makes no sense to me if a 500 degree pizza oven won’t kill it. How can a dab of soap and lukewarm water do what heat can’t do?   thank you for putting this where it needs to be if this is the wrong spot!  sincerely needing advice, Brandy J

      I would say the tTG-IGA would be sufficient.

      I think I don't have any symptoms now. I have some fogginess but I'm not sure whether it's gluten. I think the gut related problems I described above were caused because I had giardiasis. It was treated and now I feel much better. However I started a gluten free diet after the parasite treatment so it's a bit unclear what was the reason. I'm going to repeat the tests after 2 months from now eating gluten to be sure it was giardiasis. Is it enough to do just "Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA" and "The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody"? Because my Immunoglobulin A result is normal IgG tests are not necessary if I understand it right. By the way, Merry Christmas!
