Raise your hand if you’ve had a family member or friend say to you, “I could never go gluten free, because I love bread too much!” Well, guess what? Most gluten-free eaters love bread, too! However, most of us have to avoid gluten because it is harmful to our bodies. Luckily, many gluten-free bread brands are helping celiacs and people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity or a wheat allergy continue to enjoy bread.

Cross-Contact: We reached out to Udi’s to find out how they avoid gluten cross-contact in their facilities. A rep from their parent company, CONAGRA, emailed us and said that the company reduces the risk of allergen cross-contact by segregating allergen and non-allergen ingredients in their facilities. Product lines are cleaned thoroughly after manufacturing allergen-containing products. Inspections are then done to make sure the cleaning was effective. If this procedure does not meet their standards, the product may be labeled with a “May Contains” statement to indicate that low levels of an allergen may be present.
Udi’s also states, “We will not use a ‘May Contains’ statement just because a product is made in a facility with Major allergens.” (Source: Udi’s)
Gluten-Free Bread FAQ
What gluten-free bread is the best?
“Best” is subjective, but the most popular gluten-free bread brands include Canyon Bakehouse, Schar, Udi’s, Trader Joe’s, and Franz.
Where can you buy gluten-free bread?
Luckily, most grocery stores offer breads that are gluten-free. If you go to specialty grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, Chuck’s, Natural Grocers, and Trader Joe’s, you’ll be sure to find bread for gluten-free diets, including options without dairy and other allergens. However, even more traditional (not natural and organic grocery stores) stores like Aldi’s, Safeway, Albertson, Kroger, and Ralphs will have gluten-free options.
Can celiacs eat bread?
Yes, people with celiac disease can eat gluten-free bread! A lot of bread brands are certified gluten-free. Those are the safest options for celiacs.
Is keto bread gluten-free?
Keto bread can be made without gluten, but not all keto or low-carb breads are gluten-free. Many keto bread brands will use wheat flour or wheat gluten in their recipes, making them unsafe for people on a gluten-free diet. The best gluten-free keto bread is Carbonaut.
Why is gluten-free bread so small?
One of the most frustrating things about eating gluten-free is that the bread is significantly smaller than regular bread. Why? It’s (mostly) because the gluten is missing. Gluten gives bread that bouncy texture we all miss, but it also helps structure the dough. Without it, the loaf tends to tighten up, creating a more dense gluten-free loaf. Some brands combat this by using larger loaf pans and adding more ingredients to help the dough rise and fluff up, creating a fuller loaf.
Does Trader Joe’s have gluten-free bread?
Yes, Trader Joe’s currently offers two types of gluten-free bread: white sandwich bread and cinnamon raisin bread. Trader Joe’s gluten-free white bread is the fan favorite between the two.
Does Subway have gluten-free bread?
Yes, Subway offers gluten-free bread. According to Subway, their bread is manufactured in a gluten-free facility.
How much gluten is in sourdough bread?
There is a common misconception that sourdough bread is naturally gluten-free or lower in gluten. That’s because the sourdough fermenting process makes the bread easier to digest for some people. However, it does not remove gluten from the bread. If you have celiac disease, don’t be fooled by claims that it’s safe to eat sourdough. Stick to brands that are clearly labeled gluten-free; better yet, stick to certified gluten-free sourdough brands.
Which brands offer gluten-free bread that’s organic?
Young Kobras Organic offers vegan, allergen-friendly, gum-free, gluten-free organic bread.
Happy Campers also makes vegan gluten-free bread that is USDA organic.
