Natural flavors and gluten?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Been away for a little bit, lurking here and there, but not straying too far off the road after some initial over-indulging in non-gluten analogues of gluten-y things.  :ph34r:

 

I've read here a number of times that "natural flavors" in ingredients lists are fine, but then I've been reading on gluten-free sites that they are often gluten-derived.

 

Is this something to be really concerned about?  I'm going to start avoiding them myself since I keep having symptoms (usually "stuffy" eyes, if that makes sense) even when eating cleanly, but wanted to ask the smarties here.

 

Thanks!

A few thoughts:

 

No one knows exactly what "natural flavors are."

 

Bloggers are not the most rigorous crowd when it comes to verifying information. 

 

As a moderator, I am comfortable saying that the inclusion of natural flavors on an ingredient list does not make something off limits during a Whole30.

 

If you notice yourself having a problem with something, by all means avoid it.
