SafeDoes seitan contain gluten?
Yes. Seitan is wheat gluten: it does not contain gluten, it is gluten. It is made by kneading wheat flour and washing it until only the protein part is left, which is precisely the gluten. There is no gluten-free version of seitan, because it would be something else.

It turns up constantly on vegetarian and vegan menus as a meat alternative, and it is exactly where someone looking for "vegan" and someone looking for "gluten free" must be careful not to read one label as the other.
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.
