They do not specify that gluten free flavoring was used. Is regular vanilla flavoring, maple, almond flavoring really ok to use?

In fact, most should be. Also flavoring and extract are two different products.

Actually, I meant vanilla extract and not vanilla flavoring. I have been using the gluten free vanilla but if certain brands of extract are gluten free, I will use those. I assume that almond extract is ok to use also.

At one time distilled alcohol was thought to not be GF which is why there is still some question about extracts, booze, etc.

I haven't a clue how it works for that stuff. We use McCormick Vanilla. They won't hide gluten. If it's there, they will tell you on the label. _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

This next sentence is going to sound incredibly stupid. Isn't most alcohol distilled? Off to google...

I have actually looked at several of their different extracts that say they are gluten-free. _________________ It only gets better from here.

I haven't a clue how it works for that stuff. I ran in to this in an article in GF Living about Dannon yogurt and their natural flavors [which use ethanol as a base]. Quote: The Renewable Fuels Assoc. says ethanol can be made from any starch or sugar. BUT ethanol is always distilled [per the communications director of the Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Assoc]. _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa
