SafeDoes cured meats contain gluten?
It depends. Whole dry-cured meats — prosciutto, speck, bresaola — normally contain no gluten. Cooked and emulsified ones can, because starches and vegetable proteins are used as binders. And at the counter, the slicer is the same one that cut something else a moment earlier.
Eating out
On a mixed board the honest answer from whoever is serving is often "I need to check", and that is the right answer.
Recipes change from one producer to the next and from one kitchen to the next: this is how something is usually made, not what is in the plate in front of you. The only answer that holds for your plate is the ingredient list on the packet, or the person who cooked it.
And how did it go at the restaurant?
Knowing what is in a dish is half the answer. The other half is what actually happened to the people who ate it in a specific place — and that is what SafeBelly collects: no stars, just how it went afterwards.
