There is nothing Original about the, Le & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, you buy these days. Most sites I looked at, said the Original recipe, is gluten free.You would hope it is still gluten free, all the same.

Ive checked le and perrins and it has gluten in it.I dont have it but maybe its the 150c colouring if you are reading the ingreds and it doesnt say any wheatproducts.I am new to going gluten free (my 7 yr old is celiac) and have found out that 150c is a hidden gluten

150c! could it be a, thickening agent, as well.coolkat11 . Everything we buy these days need to be looked at very carefully as far as "special diets go" in particular. The consequences are huge, for those on special diets. Often a thickening agent will creep in to cut the costs of reducing the ingredients. PROFIT being lost, in the steam.

Why don't you ask them!According to the website though it is still gluten free and having checked the ingredients on the website there does not appear to be any hidden gluten
The Lea & Perrins website says its gluten free - I think by "original" they simply mean that Lea & Perrins were the original makers of Worcestershire Sauce, probably in Worcester

They were not the original makers at all.sarahb5.they were hired to try and sort out what, made up the Original sauce recipe.

Which was an Indian recipe - so that makes them the original makers of "Worcestershire" sauce because its nowhere near Bengal and probably nothing like the sauce sampled there originally which inspired Worcestershire sauce

Tamari soy sauce (this is just made with soy, no wheat)
I guess it doesn't matter what you read on the net, it is up to us, the consumer, to read every label. So often things you find on the net are loaded 10 or more years, ago.

Here's the food additives code breaker for anyone interested. Incidentally, I can't see a 150c there, but 150 is caramel, that would be used to darken the Worcestershire Sauce.
Scroll down the page to the second set of info to determine which foods contain a particular additive.
