SafeDoes béchamel contain gluten?
Yes. The flour that thickens béchamel is almost always wheat flour. It can be made with cornflour or rice flour, and it is an easy swap, but you have to ask: the classic recipe starts from wheat.

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.
