If you are avoiding gluten, be careful with sausages.\u00a0 Some are ok, some contain wheat or other gluten-contaminated ingredients.<\/p>\n

This is very important if you have a gluten allergy, celiac disease, or some other gluten intolerance.<\/p>\n

Sausages have a bad reputation.\u00a0 They are essentially ground meat (or ground meat byproducts), stuffed into an animal intestine skin, or more recently it could be a synthetic skin.\u00a0 Good sausages are fundamentally just meat, possibly with additional flavoring ingredients such as garlic, spices or herbs.<\/p>\n

Bad sausages could have almost anything in them, especially if sold as hot dogs, or “links”.<\/p>\n

For someone avoiding gluten, the worst type of ingredients sausages might have are grain-based fillers such as wheat, barley, oats or rye.\u00a0 They may be listed as “bread crumbs”, “flour” or some similar description.<\/p>\n

Sausages vary considerably in their quality and whether they are gluten-free or not.<\/p>\n

One reason for adding grain-based ingredients to sausages is to absorbe the often high levels of fat added to sausages.<\/p>\n

So the chances are that gluten-free sausages are of generally better quality.<\/p>\n

Small butchers and specialty stores often make their own sausages or have them locally supplied.\u00a0 These may be of good quality or not.\u00a0 Always ask for a complete list of ingredients.<\/p>\n

Of course super-market sausages should list the ingredients.\u00a0 If they don’t, give them a miss.<\/p>\n

As with any prepared food, when avoiding gluten, always check the ingredients.\u00a0 Sausages have a high risk of containing gluten, but it is quite easy to find gluten-free sausages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
