Sometimes I see Wegmans Brand products that look like they should be gluten-free based on the ingredients, but there is no Gluten Free Wellness Key on the label. Why is that?

Before assigning the Gluten Free Wellness Key, we work with our suppliers to verify the following:

• The product’s ingredients are not derived from wheat, rye, barley or oats. While oats are naturally gluten-free, some individuals do not tolerate oats or are advised to avoid oats when beginning a gluten-free diet.
• Manufacturing environment, processing, scheduling, and good manufacturing practices are evaluated for the potential for cross-contact with gluten.
• The final product must have <20 ppm gluten from unavoidable gluten present due to inadvertent cross-contact.

If there is any doubt or the supplier cannot guarantee gluten-free status, the product will not be labeled as gluten free. Also, some single-ingredient grocery, dairy, and frozen Wegmans Brand items meet our Gluten Free Wellness Key criteria but do not have a key on the product label. If you have a question about a specific product, please contact our Customer Care Center at 1-800-WEGMANS, or you can email us on our Contact Us page.
