Why it works
- Celiac disease: Certified gluten-free spaghetti, and no soy sauce, stock or seasoning blends anywhere in the pan.
- Wheat allergy: Gluten-free spaghetti instead of wheat pasta, with no flour, breadcrumbs or wheat sauces.
- Gluten-free: Every ingredient is gluten-free by name — the pasta, the oil, nothing hidden in a sauce.
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.
