When I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, the bbq sauces available in the supermarket seemed to all contain gluten so were well and truly off the menu for me. This was not an issue for me as I’ve never really been a fan of bbq sauce but was recently wondering, purely out of interest, if there are any gluten free options available now.
I was really pleasantly surprised to find that many of the bbq sauces on our supermarket shelves are now gluten free which I thought I’d share with you today.
Important:
I have a few disclaimers that I want you to be aware of before you read this post:
- I checked the ingredients lists at the time of publishing. Please be aware that manufacturers change their recipes/ ingredients – please check for yourself prior to purchasing/eating.
- Valid for products available in Australia.
- This is not an inclusive product list.
- I have not necessarily tried nor am recommending these products
- I may have included products with gluten in the “May Contain” panel. Coeliac Australia advises “each individual should use their discretion when deciding whether to use such products.”
I found that all of the sauces listed in this post are available from Woolworths. I have not checked availability in other retailers and encourage you to do your own research to see which of these products are available in your area.
