<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi folks. Sorry for the delay in responding on the hoisin sauce issue. I've been waiting for a reply from Lee Kum Kee which , after two requests, has never come. So forget them. However, I found I had a bottle of Dynasty's hoisin sauce on my shelf, so I contacted them. Here's their response: Yes, Dynasty Hoisin Sauce #09627 and Dynasty Plum Sauce #09630 are both gluten free. If we can be of further assistance, please email us or call us at 1-800-633-1004. Sincerely, Ms. Diane Plocher, Manager, Consumer Services @ JFC International Inc. I am sooooo happy to pass this along as I got more responses from y'all about wanting to know what I found out than actual information about Lee Kum Kee's version or any alternative. I guess there are many hungry hoisin fans out there. Here's what the some had to say: I think I was involved in getting that list from them (Lee Kum Kee) last year and when I called to ask specifically about the hoison sauce it seemed to me that the sauce is somewhat mislabled. As I recall the staff persons said that there was soy sauce in the product (not just soybeans) so... You might want to try calling them but I have stayed clear of it since then. "Color added" means gluten to me. The acetic acid (vinegar) may be derived from wheat?? I don't use it, but the places there that could possibly contain gluten are: spices, acetic acid (if made in China), or color added. Or practically any other of the ingredients if it carries gluten as a secondary ingredient, since companies are not "required" to list secondary ingredients. Reading the ingredients is never safe way to assure yourself that something is GF. I use Ka-Me Hoisin sauce and have no problems with it. I received confirmation from the company that it is indeed gluten free. I've read on this list before that Dynasty brand hoisin is GF & my daughter (7 years) has tried w/o any obvious symptoms. I have never found a hoisin sauce that was GF. I cant remember f the ingredient it was containing was modified food starch or wheat. I will look for this brand locally and check it out because the list you said here appears to be GF. I have used this (Lee Kum Kee) hoisin sauce with no problem. Hope the rest of the list agrees! it could be the color that's the culprit. Sometimes there's barley malt in the color, I'm told. Anyway, I'd be interested to know what you find out about which hoison sauces are GF. I also have a son with celiac and would love to know more things I can give him. So that's it. I live in the southwest, but I bet you can find Dynasty nationwide at most general groceries. Eat in good health! Joy
