Several Processed Foods and Other Items
Numerous processed foods and everyday items can inadvertently contain gluten, such as meat substitutes like veggie burgers and hot dogs, prepared lunch meats, processed cheeses, egg substitutes, canned soups and soup mixes, certain ice creams, breakfast cereals, French fries, and flavored tofu. Scrutinizing labels for gluten-free certification proves pivotal in making informed choices.
Some Snack Foods
Snack foods, often perceived as harmless indulgences, may contain hidden gluten. This includes pretzels, granola bars, cereal bars, chips, energy bars, cookies, snack mixes, and certain candy bars. Opting for explicitly labeled gluten-free snack alternatives ensures a safer munching experience.
In navigating a gluten-free lifestyle, vigilance in deciphering labels and exploring certified gluten-free options emerges as a cornerstone. Awareness about these unexpected sources of gluten empowers individuals to make informed dietary choices, steering clear of triggering adverse reactions.
