Following a gluten-free diet isn't easy; between sorting through lengthy ingredient lists and double checking with the waiter that your entree is in fact gluten-free, staying consistent can be a full time job. That's why our experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab test hundreds of gluten-free products year round to help you sort through the confusing grocery landscape and find great options that deliver on both taste and nutrition.
Whether you're gluten-free because of celiac disease, gluten-sensitivity or IBS, the good news is that many food companies and restaurants are offering more and more gluten-free options and alternatives that you can enjoy. Cookies, cakes, breads and sauces are among some of the food products now available in the gluten-free aisle. But a gluten-free label doesn't necessarily equate to healthy. In order to achieve ideal taste and texture profiles, some manufacturers add extra filler ingredients that aren't the most nutritious. That's why it's important to take a look at nutrition facts labels and try to prioritize ingredients that are naturally free of gluten.
You may also notice that some foods simply say gluten-free on the packaging whereas others have an actual Certified Gluten-Free stamp on them. Products labeled gluten-free should contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten as per the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), but specific third-party certifications (like Certified Gluten Free) have even stricter standards. If you're very sensitive to gluten, it's best to go with products that have a Certified Gluten Free stamp on them. Our list of gluten-free foods and snacks has options for everybody, ranging from bars and cookies to condiments and pastas. Here are the best gluten-free products to buy right now, according to our nutrition experts:
