I started eating bisto gluten-free and kept getting a reaction. I have since found out it contain maltodextrin which is made from starch that in Europe is generally derived from Wheat. So be aware bisto gluten free is not wheat free.
Really appreciate you sharing your experience Simon, thanks for the comment!
I have a bad reaction to Bisto Gluten Free. I am Gluten and Lactose intolerant and figured there was maybe milk in the mix as it says ‘may contain milk’
