Oats are naturally gluten free. However, gluten containing grains like wheat, rye and barley could have been grown in fields nearby and come into contact with the oats during harvest or transportation. As the world's leading experts in oat milling, Quaker developed a process to ensure strict standards for Gluten Free are met. Look for Gluten Free labels on packages of Quick Quaker Oats and Instant Quaker Oatmeal: http://www.quakeroats.com/product/hot-cereals/gluten-free-oatmeal.aspx

∙ 13y agoI'm sorry to break it to you, but they aren't. :'( luckily, though, if you buy a bag of oats that clearly says "gluten free" on it they are. The reason for this is because even though technically oats don't contain gluten, they are grown on the same fields and processed on the same equipment. And some celiacs won't even eat oats that say they are gluten free since oats have proteins very similar to wheat. Its up to you to choose whether or not you want to eat them. :)

∙ 14y agoYes, they are considered to be "cross contaminated" with gluten, so that if you have a sensitivity you are much safer going with Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free oat (or another gluten free brand-- it must be certified)

∙ 10y agoGenerally speaking, no they are not. Technically oats do not contain gluten, but they are grown on the same fields as gluten containing plants, and processed by the same equipment. Oats technically should be acceptable to a Celiacs, but there is a risk involved with it.

∙ 10y agoYes but you have to be sure that the oatmeal is certified gluten free. It should say so on the package. Most readily available oatmeals are often highly cross contaminated with wheat so you can't eat them.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Only products made of, or from, wheat contain wheat gluten. It is kind of like asking "Do Red Delicious apples contain any orange pulp?"
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoSome whole grains do. Wheat is the most commonly used grain which contains gluten. Quinoa, for instance, does not.,

Don't assume that "whole grain" is something other than wheat. Read the labels. There are whole grains that are not wheat - rice, corn, oats - but most whole grain breads include wheat.

Why should no more than half the all purpose flour be replaced with whole grain flour when adjusting a recipe?
If you use all whole grain wheat flour, you might get away with it, but it would be much heavier and coarser in texture. There are many whole grain flours that are not wheat flour. You need the gluten in wheat flour to make the structure in whatever you are making. Most other flours if not all of them do not have any gluten in them. What you are making cannot rise if it doesn't have anything to build the structure with.
