Why it works
- Celiac disease: Certified gluten-free tortillas and spices accompany the cod, cabbage and fresh orange glaze.
- Soy allergy: Olive oil, yogurt, spices and fresh fish keep the tacos free of soy.
- Wheat allergy: Certified gluten-free corn tortillas and spices keep the tacos wheat-free.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
