Gluten Free Chippy Non-Brewed Condiment (Malt Vinegar Flavour) 315ml

Product Information

There are still some gaps in the industry knowledge for vinegar and a great big hole in terms of information. Originally a by-product of ale that fermented past its drinkable stage, malt vinegar has a nutty, toasted flavour from the malted barley and the bacterial processes that happen during the fermentation stage, making the final straw-coloured product sweeter and milder than other kinds of vinegar. We are asking food manufacturers who produce products made with ingredients from gluten containing grains, such as barley malt vinegar, to not only confirm to us that their products have been tested and shown to have no more than 20 ppm gluten, but also to label them gluten free. When I rechecked it had been removed and sure enough when I removed it from my diet I realised I was reacting to it. This means we will no longer be listing in our food information services some products made with ingredients from gluten containing grains, such as barley malt extract, even if they have no more than 20 ppm gluten, unless they are labelled gluten free.

It may, therefore, be necessary to share information with relevant and trusted organisations to do this. My late maternal grandmother introduced me to malt vinegar on fish and chips and I was the only grandchild who shared her preference for it. Certain people with gluten intolerance may feel comfortable taking their chances with the vinegar, but try at your own risk!the gluten-free food checker APP says it's OK and so does Coeliac UK, but many sites say avoid at all costs! Verywell Fit uses only high-quality sources, including peer-reviewed studies, to support the facts within our articles. However, it has around 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten or less, which is generally considered to be suitable for people who are gluten intolerant or suffer from celiac disease. However, we want our community to have absolute clarity and peace of mind if they choose to include barley malt vinegar in their diet – and we know from your feedback many of you feel the same way. This rationale is based primarily on two important factors: 1) That malt vinegar is made from barley, a gluten-containing ingredient, and 2) That, unlike other vinegars, malt vinegar is not a distilled vinegar.

However, cheaper versions or balsamic glazes may contain additives that could potentially include gluten, so it’s essential to read labels or choose reputable brands. You are correct, any kinds of grains that have been malted and can be fermented to alcohol can be used to make malt vinegar. However, flavored varieties or those mixed with other ingredients should be checked for potential gluten content.Malt vinegar is a beloved condiment of the British Isles that dates back several hundred years , and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. There's a very small possibility that the paste used to seal those casks (generally wheat or rye flour) could contaminate a batch of balsamic vinegar, but only those most sensitive to trace gluten would notice (I'm talking far less than 1 percent of everyone who reacts to gluten). I contacted Blue Horizon and they were very gracious and explained the vinegar source and even included the lab test results showing that no gluten was detected in the products!
