Three Unexpected Places You Might Find Gluten this Thanksgiving

Living a gluten-free lifestyle often requires a keen sense of awareness about the foods around us so we can avoid accidental ingestion. However, gluten sometimes hides in the most unexpected places, like chicken broth, which may catch any uninformed eaters completely off-guard. To help you navigate one of the biggest foodie holidays of the year, we’ve put together a short list of places gluten may be pulling a 007-style presence.

1. Chicken Broth in Stuffing

Your stuffing may be made with our Schar Artisan Baker gluten-free bread, but double check your chicken broth to make sure it’s gluten-free! Better yet, use homemade chicken stock to be safe!

2. Sweet Potato Praline Topping

Those sweet potatoes with the buttery praline topping may seem naturally gluten-free, but that sweet decadent toffee mixture around the nuts may contain flour.  Make sure to ask your chef before diving in.

3. Butter

Now you all know about gravy and green bean casserole for possible gluten, but this last one may surprise you.  If someone at your table uses their bread knife and smears butter on their wheat roll, and then goes back for more, that butter is now contaminated.  Be sure you have a designated gluten-free stick available!
