One of the best parts of a big breakfast is sausage! But, with so many companies using fillers and hiding gluten in spices, it can be hard to know which brands are safe to include in your GF lifestyle. Luckily, quite a few gluten-free breakfast sausage brands offer products that are safe to eat, so you can heap your plate with sausage and not have to worry!

Jimmy Dean
Is Jimmy Dean sausage gluten free? Honestly, it’s unclear. Why is it on this list, then? Multiple websites use this phrase when talking about Jimmy Dean sausage: “gluten-free, all-natural pork sausage.”
Even Jimmy Dean’s own meta description shows that the fully-cooked sausage patties are gluten free.
However, Jimmy Dean doesn’t advertise that they have gluten-free products. I can’t find the term “gluten free” anywhere on their site.
We sent an email asking for a product list and more info on how the company avoids gluten cross-contact (if they even are GF). We’ll update this article when we find out more. In the meantime, we’ll leave off the “where to buy” info because we’re not sure you should be buying it.
