Sweet Baby Ray's Bbq Sauce

[HarMonica Designs]

I am absolutely have gluten reactions to Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce (this time the Sweet n Spicy).  My home is completely gluten free as I’m extremely sensitive.  I have eaten this in the past without severe issues but the other night, it was the only thing that could have caused one of the most horrible gluten reactions I have ever gotten.  3 days of misery to wade through now.  I had a bad reaction once before and I discounted this as being the culprit since it is labeled gluten free.  It can’t possibly be!  I wouldn’t react like this if it was.  The fact that there is a 12 year running blog on this product specifically tells me that something is up with it, regardless of how it is labeled and regardless of what the company says.  I won’t eat it again, ever.

So glad I found this discussion, same thing just happened to me tonight. I couldn’t figure out what I was reacting to! No more Sweet Baby Ray’s in this house, unfortunately.

Sweet Baby Ray's does make the "gluten-free" claim on many of their sauces on their web site, but it looks to be a work in progress, so hopefully any issues will be resolved soon:
