How to Always Stay Gluten-Free & Make Smart Food Choices

Living a gluten-free lifestyle can be challenging, especially when so many products contain hidden gluten. Whether you have coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity, or simply choose to be gluten-free, knowing how to ensure your meals are 100% safe is essential. One of the biggest struggles is finding gluten-free alternatives to everyday ingredients—especially when it comes to recipe bases, as most on the market are not gluten-free.

Luckily, Gluten-Free by Che Recipe Bases are a game-changer! They are gluten-free, dairy-free, contain no added sugar, and are low in sodium, making them the perfect solution for quick and easy meals without compromising on health or flavor.

Top Tips to Always Eat Gluten-Free


1. Read Every Label – Always!

Gluten can hide in unexpected places like sauces, spice mixes, and even packaged meats. Common gluten-containing ingredients include:
❌ Wheat, barley, rye, and oats (unless certified gluten-free)
❌ Malt (found in many cereals and flavorings)
❌ Soy sauce (opt for gluten-free tamari instead)
❌ Modified food starch (unless specified as gluten-free)

Solution: Always check labels carefully and choose brands that are clearly labeled as gluten-free. Gluten-Free by Che Recipe Bases make it easy—each sachet is clearly labeled and safe for celiacs.

2. Avoid Cross-Contamination

Even if a food is naturally gluten-free, it can become unsafe if it comes into contact with gluten-containing foods. Be mindful of:
✔️ Using separate toasters, utensils, and cutting boards for gluten-free foods
✔️ Ensuring restaurant kitchens understand cross-contact risks
✔️ Avoiding shared fryers, where gluten-containing foods may have been cooked

3. Make Smart Cooking Choices

Cooking at home gives you complete control over ingredients. However, using store-bought recipe bases and spice mixes is where many people accidentally consume gluten. Most brands on the market are NOT gluten-free, meaning even a simple butter chicken or taco seasoning can contain hidden gluten.
