I recently purchased a new product (new to me). It was labeled as wheat and gluten free but when I got it home and read the ingredients I saw it contained malt vinegar. I thought malt vinegar had gluten. Am I wrong?

Sounds like it might be a labeling goof. Can you call the company and see what they have to say.

Unfortunately, I didn't think of that and I already threw out the box. I believe the brand is Blue Horizon and the product is Fish and Chips fish bites. It's fish nuggets rolled in potato flakes. Is anyone familiar with this brand/product?

Malt Vinegar from Barley

if it is brewed is 'NOT gluten-free'

but if it is distilled it is gluten-free,

as no gluten proteins carry over during the distillation process.

.

Maybe the vinegar was RICE MALT Vinegar ???

.

Best Regards,

I've just about given up on products with vinegar (of any kind) because most of them just state VINEGAR! Hello,?? that's not enough, you know!

What kind of vinegar would that be. Living in a country with strong British roots it is most likely malt. They don't even say that, let alone whether they brewed or distilled it. Goodness only knows, there is enough brewing going on here I would doubt that it was distilled :lol:

See the response I received from the company:

"We do use a distilled malt vinegar. Products have been tested by third party. Gliadin is a glycoprotein that is an essential building block of gluten. Our testing validates that there is no wheat and no gluten."

      Muscle Twitching

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hello @aperlo34, what types of supplements are you taking? Your symptoms could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies.   The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!

      I am in the same boat--my daughter is in a junior college and staying with us now, but will be going away this summer to a school far from home. We're doing the research now on their food options.

      Cross contamination issues with Food Processing Companies

      By Cindy Neshe · Posted

      I purchased food items online seeing the gluten-free symbol. No where online did it say the products were cross contamination with Gluten in their facility. Has anyone else found this with products? We need better communication to make sure people who have sensitivity issues properly notified before purchasing the item. I have actually emailed companies and asked about their statement on the product that it is gluten-free but found out their facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means Gluten can come in contact with the gluten-free food item. I had to call, nothing listed on the product. I know that a "Dedicated gluten-free Facility" will be listed but why are these manufacturers not listing cross contamination? The answer is probably they don't want to be accountable.

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Brianne03 · Posted

      Our daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac. Everyone else in the family was subsequently tested. My results are the only ones I'm not confident with, despite my doctor saying they were normal. I guess I'm just looking for peace of mind because my research shows that TTG-IGA numbers greater than 10 U/mL are considered positive for Celiac and mine was 11.6 U/mL. I am happy to be wrong and not have Celiac, but need reassurance and expertise either way because my PCP said he was just going by the labs consideration of normal and wasn't sure beyond that. Could the test be indicative of other autoimmune issues, beyond Celiac, because I do have Hashimoto's?  In addition to having another autoimmune disease, I have had a chronic case of "dermatitis" in my genital/rectum area since 2020. I've seen tons of specialists, used many creams, taken pills and vitamins, have had biopsies, allergy tests (patch and skin prick), changed up all sorts of things, etc. with no real answers or solutions to make it go away. I have resorted to using a daily topical cream just to keep it at bay because otherwise I often feel like I am on fire...red, sore, bleeding, and oh so itchy!  The other thing that makes me question my results, is that I did a 23andMe genetic test years ago and it shows I have two copies of a genetic variant indicative of Celiac disease. Just looking for some clarification; thank you!! PS, I've tried figuring out how to attach screenshots of my test results, but no luck.
