Need or want to avoid gluten? Well, what about Sweet Baby Rays; is this now off the menu? I spent some time researching the recipe and the brand to find out whether it is still safe to consume. Here is what you’ll want to know.
So, is Sweet Baby Rays gluten-free? Most of the products in the Sweet Baby Rays range are gluten-free, including the most popular Original sauce. In fact, the company clearly specifies directly on all products that do not contain gluten.
Great news.
Not only are most products safe to consume, but it’s generally quite easy to find the ones we can and cannot have.
Here is what the company have to say on the matter, taken directly from their FAQ Page:
“Most of our products do not contain gluten. Products and ingredients made from grains containing gluten—such as wheat, rye and barley—will be clearly listed in the ingredient statement on the package label.”
And better more, the company is dedicated to ensuring they retain this FDA compliant status.
They have a program in place to ensure that all gluten-free products are manufactured in facilities with stringent procedures.
The good news keeps coming!
But I’ve mentioned that not all products in the Sweet Baby range are gluten-free; which ones?
Let’s look more specifically.

How To Find Out Whether A Sweet Baby Ray Product Is Gluten Free
I’ve listed most, if not all, of the current Sweet Baby product range above which you can always refer to. But how do you find out for yourself?
Well generally, there are three different ways.
Check The Website
Sweet Baby Rays are very good at updating their website and listing all of their current products.
If you head over to the sauces section of the website, you can scroll through each product.
From there, simply click the “see nutritional facts” on the listing of each sauce.
You can then review the ingredient list, or look for the message at the bottom.
Take the Original barbecue sauce listing as an example:

Check Packaging
In a store or cannot access the internet? Well – check the product packaging directly.
Sweet Baby Rays will clearly state whether their product is gluten-free.
Or you can always check the ingredients one by one – looking out for that infamous wheat.
Besides, the product listings on the website are simply a picture of their labels anyway.
Contact Company
If in doubt, contact the company directly.
They will be able to advise on if a product is gluten-free or not.
Just head here and fill out the form. Simple.
Finally
16/20 Sweet Baby Ray sauces are gluten-free. At least their most prominent and best-selling products.
But that’s 80% of their range by the way.
So good news all around.
What it does mean though is we cannot safely assume all Sweet Baby Rays are safe, 100% of the time.
So do check each product carefully, and/or review the list I provided above.
Of course, Sweet Baby Rays are likely to release new products in the future so do remain mindful and vigilent.
Thankfully this is a company that clearly outlines what products are and are not gluten-free, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.
