Deli Meat

My family has been happy with leftover dinner meat to make sandwiches for quite awhile, but there is a bit of repetitive grumbling in my home about never having deli meat anymore.

So what is your favorite gluten free deli meat?

I'm looking for packaged meats in particular, simply because I don't feel like hitting the deli counter until I can enjoy processed meats again.

BTW - the best way to purchase deli meat sliced at the store is talk to your store manager - most stores wash the slicer at the end of the day - so if requested they can slice your order first thing in the morning and set it aside for you to pick up.

Thanks everyone!

Boar's Head meats and cheeses are all gluten free (prepackaged), as well as many of their condiments....and pretty good too! :)

cya: always read the ingredient listing.

I'd prefer leftovers, too, but don't always have them nor do I want to buy from the deli counter either.

I like Open Original Shared Link and currently have the smoked turkey, which is prepackaged.

If you can get the Boars head pre-packed, those are the best. We also like the hormel Naturals Open Original Shared Link

I like the smoked turkey and the honey or smoked hams. M says the regular turkey is a bit slimy.

I buy all of the above - Boar's Head (ask the deli to clean the slicer), Hormel Naturals and also Trader Joe's ham and turkey.

I am getting to where I don't like the saltiness of deli turkey so i think I'm going to try roasting a breast once in a while. I expect ham to be salty, so I just eat less.

I like the Schneiders Naturals. No nitrites and no gluten. Very short ingredient list.

From a gluten perspective, I can no longer name a deli meat that does have gluten. There probably are a few somewhere, but fewer than even just five years ago.

The other day I was buying ham and found 3 or 4 brands that contained wheat! I do not recall the names but if I think of it I will write them down and add them here. In fact, I had difficulty buying ham without. I think one was a President's Choice but will double check.

ETA: Oops - this was supposed to a separate post. Not sure how this happened! Looked for ham today (Sept. 10) and found only one that did NOT contain gluten. Those that did included Butchery something and Maple Leaf (a few varieties). The store brand contained wheat, too. Thankfully I am able to get Frebeye's here!

Thank you all! Very nice to have a jump start list.

Concern started today - teen son really wanted sliced turkey so ran up to the store (my teens generally don't go to the store without being asked/bribed to do so) and bought Jennie-O because he thought their products were all gluten free. A quick search of their gluten free product list didn't include the sliced turkey he purchased - perhaps I just didn't research it enough - but thought I'd take a break from the product research this evening and ask for a few favorites -- plus it is nice to know things are going to taste good before purchase - my computer hasn't developed this particular skill yet. I'm thankful each day for the internet, but when will the Smell&Tast-O-Vision cards be ready for installation?

I like Applegate. Expensive, but worth it. Organic, antibiotic free. Many are gluten and casein free.

I buy Applegate (first choice) or Boar's Head (only from my local produce market which has a deli...they only sell Boar's Head so no other meats are sliced on their equipment).

Love2travel, you are in Canada and the person who asked the question is in the U.S. So am I. In the U.S., almost no ham has gluten (I can't actually name one that does have it but I can't say that absolutely none do).

True enough. The differences between countries can be quite vast, can't they? I was shocked I was only able to find one kind of ham out of six or seven that did not include wheat. I should have made it clear in my posts I live in Canada. My intent was to mention it for the benefit of fellow Canadians. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I am not Celiac but I do have an issue with gluten since I have had Crohn's Disease for decades. I'm allergic to Soy and Lactose intolerant. I use Applegate and Boars Head; both great products, expensive but worth the money.

I did email Hillshire because I had read somewhere in this forum that Hillshire was gluten free. According to their answer below they currently do not have any gluten-free products but are working on them!

      You can sell it better if the whole family does gluten free.  If he does have Celiac Diease, it is genetic so either you, your spouse, or both have a 40% chance of also having Celiac.  There are over 200 non classic symptoms also caused by celiac disease not often considered by doctors. Joint pain, muscle pain, muscle cramps, osteoporosis, and allergies for starters.

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Hello @MHavoc, thank you for your question and welcome to the clinic. First, has the contstipation abated with the GFD? If your are pursuing further diagnostics you must continue to eat gluten. Each lab has their own reference range for their test, but they indicate an H for high.  Typically anything above 11 is considered positive. Mild chronic inflammation (gastritis) can interfere with intrinsic factor for B12 leading to low B12 causing low MCHC (anemia). So what is causing your gastritis?  A high tTG IgA level generally indicates potential gastrointestinal problems most commonly associated with celiac disease.  Although the biopsy is the Gold Standard for diagnosis, not finding damage in the biopsy does not rule out Celiac Disease. It means they did not find damage where they looked.  The small intestine is over 20 feet long. Many here have been blood positive and biopsy negative, it just delays the diagnosis until you have enough damage to find and fit their diagnostic profile. The Ttg-iga is not only sensitive (90%) but highly specific (98%) and won’t show positive until the damage is severe.  It is estimated that 40% of first degree relatives of diagnosed Celiacs have undiagnosed Celiac Disease, so your sister is a big risk factor in whether you have it. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?  This article explains it better and is quite readable. Celiac Disease can cause deficient vitamin D.  Low vitamin D compromises the immune system.  Any other symptoms? liver enzymes?  Recent cold or flue? Celiac Disease and the malabsorption it causes through vitamin and mineral deficiencies can elicit symptoms not usually associated with Celiac Disease. Case in point maybe your gastritis and anemia.

      As with most of the people that come here, I have questions and need perspective/info from this wonderful community.  Some background, started having severe constipation that would not abate even with softners (not really fun to talk about), so I was able to finally get in to see my primary and she scheduled some blood work.  One of things she wanted to test for is Celiac Disease due to my sister having celiac disease since a young child. Here are my test results: MCHC = 31.4 so considered slightly low TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 78.8 H So with that result, I was scheduled for an endoscope for confirmation of celiac disease, but I am very confused with the results: Diagnosis 1. Duodenum, biopsy: -No pathologic alteration. 2. Stomach, biopsy: -Mild chronic inflammation with reactive epithelial change -H. pylori not identified on immunostained section. -No intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia I am now scheduled to meet with a GI Specialist from the Celiac team, but that won't be until after the New Year.  I would appreciate thoughts about the biopsy report to understand whether it confirms the celiac disease as was indicated by the blood test results. I have been gluten free for two weeks and it is a very difficult adjustment for me as an older 50+ person.

      Anyone else have intermittent left ear ringing and outer right ear pain? Both seem to happen in the evenings.

      If your son eventually becomes very symptomatic, that in itself will help keep him on the diet.  I had a friend who was diagnosed roughly the same time as me and she used to tell me a lot that she could get away with eating certain gluten containing foods.  (Not a good thing to do, but she did all the same).  In time she was unable to tolerate them anymore,  and is now very strict with her diet.   The football situation with the candy:   here in the UK at least, a lot of mainstream chocolate bars and sweets don't actually contain gluten (Bounty Bar, Snickers, Cadbury's Whirl, Crunchie etc) and you may find that that is the case where you live.
