Most fresh meat, pork, poultry and fish are sold plain, with nothing added. These are smart choices for gluten-free diets. You can also purchase frozen varieties of plain meats with nothing added. If broth is added to meat, pork or poultry, check with the manufacturer to see if gluten is used.

Processed meats such as bologna, hot dogs, lunch meats and sausages are often safe for a gluten-free diet, but it's important to check. Occasionally flavorings or additives change this status.
