El Monterey Taquitos

El Monterey Chicken or Cheese Taquitos are, according to the El Monterey Customer Service line, gluten free. My family enjoys these taquitos for parties, quick lunches/dinners, or when we are on the go. They are quite tasty and a welcome addition to the growing variety of foods we can eat.

Gifts of Nature, Inc. Rolled Oats

Gifts of Nature, Inc. sells certified gluten-free rolled oats! I had been wanting oatmeal cookies, apple crisp, and just a bowl of oatmeal sometimes...that this find was fantastic! I have found this product on The Gluten Free Mall, Wild Oates, and a local bakery in the Colorado Springs area--Outside The Breadbox.

Wilderness Fruit Pie Fillings

I recently had a craving for some apple crisp and was unable to find many fruit pie fillings without modified food starch marked on the label. I contacted Birdseye, maker of the Wilderness brand fruit pie fillings, and according to their consumer phone line all of the fruit pie fillings in this line are gluten free. The modified food starch identified on the label is from corn. So enjoy.

Hormel Natural Choice Deli Meats

It had been a long time since I had enjoyed a good deli sandwich, until I discovered a few safe deli products. One such product is the Hormel line of Natural Choice Deli Meats. I have so far tried the turkey, chicken and roast beef...all are very good. Again, Hormel is one of the best companies in its labeling practices as the products are clearly marked "Gluten Free."

Hormel Original Pepperoni

Hormel Original Pepperoni, according to its label, is gluten free. I enjoy this product in a variety of ways including: topping my Rice Crust Amy's Cheese Pizza, on sandwiches, as a snack with cheese and crackers.

I have thus far identified a few Hormel products that are gluten free, and I have to say that Hormel is by far one of the best companies in identifying its gluten free products. Just look on the packaging of their products and it will say "Gluten Free" if it contains no gluten products. It is easy, smart, and a great labeling practice.
