it's... its meat

why

its meat

i get like "Oh we need to show there's no gluten in this dish" labels But this is... It's a piece of meat!

gluten free meat

You never know, wheat and wheat by-products are sneaky things

i mean i get that but... its literally a slab of meat.

cough

10 Hams You Can Trust to Be Gluten-Free

It's... actually more regular than you'd imagine actually

apparently cross-contamination of gluten in regularly sold ham is a thing so they needed to make a completely gluten free series of hams out there for people with allergies

Lmao. I mean speaking seriously...ever since the gluten-free craze has been a thing i think food manufacturers realized that if they slap 'gluten free' on anything that is alreasy naturally gluten free, it sells better

I just hope they have made sure it is actually gluten free...

there's two brands out there that are 100% certified to be trace-free of gluten

for those who are particularly sensitive to gluten

and all its byproducts

On the bright side it's good for people who need it for medical reasons

okay i didn't know that about ham specifically

but still. this isn't the only instance of it

its big and bold on several meat products

You'd just think they'd relegate it to the back since it IS a meat product. And be like "does not contain gluten"

the front of a package is so valuable as advertising space. I get why its on the front if there have been past problems with it but it doesn't make sense for a lot of other products i've seen it on.
