Boar’s Head

Dave’s Markets

boarshead.com/glutenfree

from the pamphlet: “For over 115 years, we’ve been committed to offering only the freshest, best-tasting meats and cheeses available. We use only the finest ingredients: pure pork, turkey, chicken, and beef, combined with real spices, without by-products, cereals, fillers, artificial flavors and colors.”

If you aren’t aware all Boar’s Head products, meats/cheeses/condiments are gluten free. If you haven’t seen this booklet look around at your deli counter and see if they have one to grab.

I’ve bought Boar’s Head for years and find the quality to be extraordinary.

The pamphlet is about a dozen pages with info on the products, tips for cooking gf, and 8 recipes using Boar’s Head deli meats, sausages, cheeses and condiments.

The recipes in the pamphlet include: Black Forest Ham Quiche Cups, Ham and Eggs with Swiss en Cocotte, Buffalo Style Chicken Nachos, Roasted Italian Chicken Sausage and Veggies, Teriyaki Style Chicken Lettuce Cups, Lemon Pepper Chicken & Quinoa Salad, Mediterranean Salad, and Ham Stir Fry.

Recipes at their website include: Sandwiches and Paninis, Appetizers, Grilling, Lunches, Main Dishes, Salads, Sides, Soups and more!!

Campbell’s Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom Soups

Campbell’s now sells a gluten free version of their condensed cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups.

Please note Campbell’s is still selling the original gluten containing versions. Read the labels carefully as the cans are located next to each other, and look very similar, making it easy to confuse the two.

I found the soups at Meijer and the gluten free and the gluten-containing versions were the same price.

Montana Gluten Free Purity Grown Oats Sampler $10

Gluten Free Watchdog, run by by Tricia Thompson, MS, RD, has issued an updated statement on the use of oats in a gluten free diet.

From the statement:

In the latter half of 2022, four labeled gluten-free oat products from three manufacturers commissioned for testing by Gluten Free Watchdog had gluten test results above 20 parts per million. Three of the four products were certified gluten-free at the time of testing. These results are unprecedented for GFWD.

Gluten Free Watchdog recommends that if you are going to eat oats on your gluten free diet to choose purity grown oats from her vetted list.

Thanks, Carolyn, for finding that Montana Gluten Free, one of the recommended companies, is offering a sampler of their products for $10 with free shipping.

Carolyn’s shipment included the products and recipes to try.
