It's surprising how many commercially produced food products contain gluten. Whether you have a severe gluten allergy or you simply care about avoiding gluten for health reasons, it's important to research which food products may contain gluten before eating them. If you're a big fan of all things meat, you may be wondering "Is bologna gluten free?"
Almost all commercially produced bologna is naturally gluten free. This is because most bologna is made from beef, pork, or chicken, each of which is naturally gluten free.
It's rare, but there are certain types of bologna that may contain gluten. Keep reading to learn which brands and bologna products are safe, and which ones to stay away from.

What is Bologna Made From?
Bologna is made from ground meat, typically pork, beef, or chicken, although it is sometimes made from turkey, venison, or other game meat.
Fat, water, salt, spices, and other ingredients are often added for flavor and texture.
Avoid Lunchmeat Bologna, Which May Contain Gluten
While it is very rare to find bologna that is not gluten free, we recommend avoiding lunchmeat bologna. In some lunchmeat products, fillers and stabilizers are used which contain gluten. For example, modified corn starch is sometimes added to thicken the meat product, and corn starch contains gluten.
If you are buying lunchmeat bologna, be sure to check the ingredients list carefully or ask the manufacturer if it's gluten free.
Aside from lunchmeat bologna, most bologna does not contain gluten, even when extra ingredients are added like garlic, molasses, cheese, etc.
