Gluten-Free Sausage List

List of companies that make gluten free sausages in the United States.

• Aidells Sausage Company – All of the company’s sausage products are gluten-free, but always double-check the label, they usually label “gluten-free” on their products.
• al fresco – All al fresco products are considered gluten-free except the raw chicken meatballs with panko breadcrumbs.
• Applegate Farms – Most of Applegate’s products including all of its sausages are considered gluten-free.
• Armour – The company will disclose wheat in any of its products, and doesn’t currently use rye, barley or oats in anything it makes, according to a spokesperson. The plant facilities are shared but follow strict guidelines to prevent cross-contamination.
•  Bass Farms – According to a company spokesperson, everything Bass Farms produces is gluten-free.
• Beeler’s – According to company spokesperson Julie Beeler, “we don’t make anything that isn’t gluten-free. There is nothing with gluten produced anywhere near our products.” The company also is in the process of converting to non-GMO feed for its pigs.
• Bob Evans – All except for Big Farm Original Pork Sausage Links and Hot Sausage Patties are listed on Bob Evans’ gluten-free list.
• Farmland Foods – According to a company customer service representative, Farmland does label some products gluten-free. “If that claim is not present on the package, we are not making such a claim,” she says, in part because ingredients from outside suppliers might contain gluten.
• Hatfield – The company maintains a list of gluten-free products, and the sausage products are on it. However, the products are not tested for cross-contamination, and some of them are produced on shared equipment that’s cleaned between product runs, a customer service rep tells me. Most Hatfield products that contain gluten are hams and ham steaks.
• Hebrew National – The company clearly label any gluten ingredients but it does not test for gluten in its products, nor does it label them gluten-free.
• Jones Dairy Farm – Jones makes many different types of sausages. They actually  have a gluten free certification. But they also make few products that are not gluten-free, so always double check the label for that “GF” symbol.
• Neese’s Country Sausage – According to a Neese spokesperson, all of the company’s retail sausage products are free from gluten ingredients. But be aware that their sausage products are manufactured in the same plant as some of the other products that do contain wheat gluten, but are separated by multiple curtains and rooms,” the spokesperson says.
• Niman Ranch – The company says everything it makes is considered gluten-free, including its bratwurst and other sausages.
• Smithfield – According to the company, link and loop sausage do not contain MSG and are gluten-free. A company spokesperson adds that Smithfield has eliminated the use of gluten ingredients and other allergens at most of its plants, and uses a strict allergen control program to prevent cross-contamination in the few instances where allergenic ingredients are used. The company says it will call out any gluten ingredients on its product labels.
• Wellshire Farms – Most of its products, including the sausages, are considered gluten-free.
