James River BBQ Sauce is a high quality barbecue sauce from Smithfield, the people behind the amazing hams! They describe their bbq as: ‘Add a zesty kick to your pork with our legendary southern style barbecue sauce. Made from a secret family recipe that’s been unchanged since the 1950s.’
Let’s find out if this bbq sauce from Smithfield is free from wheat/gluten ingredients.
Is James River BBQ Sauce Gluten Free?
Unsure*
Unfortunately, there is no labeling on this product or information from Smithfield to confirm whether or not the bbq sauce is gluten free. According to one question/answer on Amazon:
‘It contains distilled vinegar, the label does not say Gluten free and most distilled vinegars contain gluten. I would steer clear if you have a gluten intolerance.’ (Source)
Because of this and other ingredients, like maltodextrin, that may contain gluten, we cannot confirm this product to be gluten free. We recommend finding an alternative if you have a gluten allergy/intolerance or Celiac Disease, as this product could pose a risk for gluten.
