Thank you for your interest in our TABASCO® and McIlhenny Farms® products.  All of our products that contain vinegar as an ingredient, use high quality distilled vinegar.  Distilled vinegar is produced by fermenting a grain based alcohol. The principal grains used to produce the alcohol are wheat and milo.  Gluten and other proteins are completely removed during the alcohol fermentation and distillation process. 

According to the definitions set forth by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a joint standards program of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States (FAO), the following TABASCO® Brand products are considered “Gluten Free”:
