  • My process for finding safe ingredients

What’s the process?

You need to check that a processed product is both gluten-free AND free of the top nine food allergens.
The order you check doesn’t matter, but ingredients need to be free of both.

Keep in mind:

  • Manufacturers can change their formulas at any time, without notice. So when using processed ingredients, you’ll need to verify a product’s safety every time you restock the item.

  • Also: the same exact product may contain different ingredients depending on the package size. So be sure to check the labels for the same product in different sizes or packages.

Hot tip!

Take photos of any processed products used in your Without Options recipe so guests can easily review the ingredient labels if necessary.
