Is honey gluten-free? Yes

Yes. Honey is gluten-free. It’s made by bees from flower nectar, with nothing added.

What to check

• Honey products: honey-roasted nuts, honey mustard and honey glazes have other ingredients. Read the label.
• The jar at home: a spoon or knife that has touched toast brings crumbs back into the jar.
• Honey cereals and snacks usually contain wheat or oats; the honey isn’t the issue.
