Malt, malt vinegar, malt extract
Established
What it is
Malt is made from sprouted barley grain. All "malt" ingredients on a US or Canadian label are barley-derived by default unless specified otherwise — which means they contain gluten.
Relevant concerns
- Gluten
Barley contains gluten; all malt-derived ingredients therefore contain gluten unless explicitly labeled gluten-free.
