Gluten Free Food in the ‘Normal’ Aisles
This guide includes a couple of product finds in the “normal” aisle of various supermarkets, that would be easy to miss because they definitely don’t sound like they’d be gluten free!! For example, would you ever pick up Sainsbury’s normal aisle Crispy Beef?!! Now you will 😉
Its in ALPHABETICAL order – Aldi, Asda, Coop, Lidl, Marks, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Waitrose. And its split into SAVOURY & SWEET.
AS ALWAYS – please check the ingredients yourself too – this is accurate at the time of writing but recipes change!! The Coeliac UK app is the easiest way to check if you’re not confident with reading labels – click here for my guide on how to use it.
*RECENT CHANGE: Some of the products below contain barley malt vinegar/extract (a lot of the own brand cereals for example). Coeliac UK recently removed all of the following items that contained either ingredient from their approved list on the Scanner App unless it was labelled “gluten free”.. This was done as a move to force these companies to improve their labelling. Their stance on barley malt vinegar/extract has not changed, so providing the recipes below have not changed, these products will still be safe but the only way to know that for sure is to contact the company itself. Annoying.
