                                According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, up to 6% of the U.S. population has a gluten intolerance, making label scrutiny paramount for pantry staples like pasta sauce. The good news is that most plain tomato-based sauces, including many vine ripe pasta sauce varieties, are naturally gluten-free. However, careful label reading is essential to avoid hidden gluten in thickeners, seasonings, or flavorings.
