Where can you get gluten free gravy and stock cubes? I've been asked this question a lot lately, so I've hunted down all of the gluten free stock cubes and gravy mixes I could find in my local supermarkets. Gravy or stock cubes often have wheat flour in, and it's left a lot of people with coeliac disease stumped. After all, what is a roast dinner or bangers and mash, without gravy?
Luckily, there seem to be plenty of options on the market. You'll find the kitchen staple, Oxo cubes, are sadly out of the question (cheers for that, gluten) and some of Bisto's gravies also have a 'may contain wheat' warning on them, despite no gluten in the ingredients list. But there are plenty of options out there, so fear not, save your roast with some of these beauties!
We'll start with gluten free gravy - scroll on for gluten free stock cubes.

Knorr Stock Pots.... the Rich Beef stock pot, whilst gluten free, does contain Barley Malt Extract - as I found to my cost a I have a separate allergy to Barley... some people with CD may well do to avoid this particular variety if they are sensitive to barley malt extract.
The toilet visits from the Oxo stock pots are some of the worst I've encountered. Do not assume gluten free labelling is a free pass, always read the ingredients.
We have found the range of Knorr Stock pots the most effective- thickened if needed with a little corn flour.
Thanks for the ideas and for sharing!
If it contains barley surely it's not gluten free?
The barley levels are low enough to be considered gluten free (less than 20ppm). However, some people have an allergy to Barley, which is why it's labelled as an allergen in bold.
I find the tescoes free from gravy beef and veg excellent
Stock can be a pesky thing for hidden gluten for sure..... When Miss GF was in primary school, they gave me free rein on their larder to check packets and when I discovered their stock contained gluten, they changed it for all children! I have to say, I would still avoid anything which contains barley though, however small the level. x
Gravy, I have always found difficult. I will go through the ones you suggest one at a time, but as we all know what suits one doesn't suit another. Thanks for your efforts
My son is corliac and we have to be so careful with products labelled gluten free - he reacts to the Knorr Rich Beef Stockpots, so even a trace of gluten is a problem. Surely gluten free means no gluten - they wouldn't claim nut free if it had 20ppm
Asda selling a box of aunt bessie chicken gravy there's 6 sachets reading ingredients no wheat products highlighted. Unfortunately the beef gravy variant has wheat in bold print
Has anyone found a gluten free alternative to Bisto Gravy POWDER (granules are no use has to be powder) it’s the one that comes in the brown card box, everywhere I’ve looked I can’t find anything. Also has anyone found a chicken or beef stock cube that can be used like oxo, crumbles to a coarse powder and mixes in cold water? I have been searching and they all say dissolve in hot water which is no good to me. Knor do a concentrated gluten free stock in a bottle now but I’ve been told to avoid it as it’s extremely salty and doesn’t taste like chicken or beef stock, I was about to try it but 3 seperate families also shopping for gluten free each said avoid it doe to taste and extreme saltiness, am now back to square 1 again. Wish Oxo could see how many love Oxo stock cubes and do a gluten free range.

Just about to try Tesco meat gravy granules. I usually suffer after having Bisto so I've got all my fingers and ties crossed!!
Only gravy granules I have found that don't cause a gluten reaction and don't contain milk are Marigold Gravy Granules https://www.amazon.co.uk/Marigold-Health-Foods-Granules-Gluten-Free/dp/B077YQPBMX
